The NILES-SIMMONS MCM Multi-Slide Machining Centres are designed for complete machining of crankshafts. Applications range from prototyping of small passenger vehicle crankshafts to one-offs and small-batch
manufacture of large crankshafts for stationary or marine diesel engines. The combination of the universal turning, drilling and milling head with powerful external milling units combines flexibility of turning, drilling and milling operations configured for crankshaft machining with high stock removal capabilities for machining crankshaft bearings and counterweights by using large side milling cutters. Gun drilling, gear hobbing or hard turning and hard mill/turning processes complete the variety of applications up to semi-finishing of hardened crankshafts.
Added value:
Efficient complete machining of crankshafts of up to 7,500 mm in length
Machining of bearings and cheeking of counterweights by means of side milling cutter with separate and
powerful external milling unit
Use for prototyping, one-offs and small-batch machining
Gun drilling, gear hobbing, hard turning and hard mill-turning
