Click image to enlargeThe MCR-A5CII high-speed double column machining centre from Okuma has compact auto-loading/unloading attachments for true five-sided machining in a compact footprint.
The solid double column construction ensures greater rigidity and closer tolerances, making this machine well-suited for general parts and rapid die and mould jobs.
It’s available in 15 configurations with different columns and table travel from 20-in. x 30-in. to 35-in. by 120-in. with a vertical travel of 25.59-in.
The high power main spindle offers 10,000 rpm speed and up to 40 hp, with a traverse rate of X: 98.43 fpm, Y: 98.43 fpm and Z: 65.62 fpm.
Mate Precision Tooling now offers modified standard and custom press brake tools (PBT) that supplement its extensive range of standard hardened and precision ground tooling.
Doosan Machine Tools has launched its new generation of DNM series of vertical machining centres. Now in its third generation, the machines feature higher speeds and faster spindle acceleration and deceleration rates.
