CNC milling-turning center Slim3n Mill Turn

In a pursuit to achieve shorter cycle time, Mill Turn function is the new feature offered on Compact Vertical Machining Center - Slim3n to combine Milling and Turning process on one machine to achieve maximum efficiency. Makino’s proven spindle technology is adopted to the turning axis to have the best combination of power and torque to achieve high performance and extremely efficient machining for high volume part production. Highly Efficient Production Capability This new member of the Slim family comes in two different configurations to meet the specific needs of two specific user groups. The best-of-both-worlds model on show at EMO 2023 will showcase two machining areas, one for milling and one for turning – both inside the same table. Targeted at job shops in general, this machine will reduce process complexity, which is particularly important for smaller firms. Since each operation – milling or turning – is consolidated within the one machine, users will get a finished part each time they run a cycle. As its milling and turning capabilities have not been compromised in any way, this machine really does offer the best of both worlds. The second Slim3n Mill-Turn configuration is geared more to production compa-nies that require larger turning diameters and would not benefit from process consolidation. Here, the turning motor is in the centre of a more symmetrical table with a higher capacity for components such as EV motor housings. Both configurations come with a skiving option, which greatly increases performance in producing geared features, along with 3,000-rpm motor for turning, and the same spindle configurations as Slim3n.
