Racer Machinery Intl.'s recent collaboration with McMaster University's McMaster Manufacturing Research Institute (MMRI) department has resulted in the development of the MTX Series of multiaxis mill/turn centres: the MTX-500, MTX-720, MTX-1000, and MTX-1250.
The machines feature the company’s patented Phantom Machine Technology, enabling a robust frame construction that provides maximum rigidity and minimal vibration. The column is guided by linear roller bearings on three sides. The 5-axis spindles maintain alignment and compensate for temperature variations, guaranteeing consistent high accuracies.
The MTX-500 has an HSK-63T 15,000-RPM tool spindle and a 5,000-RPM turning spindle with a bar capacity of 65 mm and holds either 60 or 80 tools. The MTX-720 has an HSK-63T 15,000-RPM tool spindle and a 3,000-RPM turning spindle with a bar capacity of 102 mm and holds either 80 or 100 tools. The MTX-1000 has an HSK-63T 12,000-RPM tool spindle and a 2,000-RPM turning spindle with a bar capacity of 127 mm and holds either 80, 120, or 180 tools. The MTX-1250 has HSK-100T 12,000-RPM tool spindle and a 1,500-RPM turning spindle with a bar capacity of 127 mm and holds either 80, 120, or 180 tools.
All four models have upper and lower turrets with 12 positions that hold up 48 tools and up to 24 live tools.
The maximum turning diameters of the machines match their designations at 500; 720; 1,000; and 1,250 mm. Each machine has a maximum machinable length of 6,000 mm.
The system’s control technology integrates with major manufacturers' systems, supporting digital twin, IoT, and Industry 4.0 capabilities. These features enable comprehensive monitoring and optimization of machine operations.
