Multitasking turning centre incorporates new control

Mazak has released the QTU-200MY turning centre, which has a main turning spindle, tool turret with rotary milling spindle, MAZATROL SmoothC control, and Y-axis off-centerline capabilities.

The machine’s headstock incorporates the company’s built-in spindle/motor. The A2-6, 20-HP main turning spindle provides speeds from 35 to 6,000 RPM with 90 ft.-lbs. of torque for heavy-duty metal removal. Its spindle bore diameter of 2.4 in. accommodates a maximum bar diameter of 2 in.

The main turning spindle also serves as a full 360-degree C axis that indexes in 0.001-degree increments.

The turret’s rotary tool spindle delivers 4,500 RPM (standard) and 6,000 RPM (optional) to perform milling, drilling, and tapping operations. The standard mill spindle provides 34.7 ft.-lbs. of torque, while the optional higher-speed version generates 17 ft.-lbs.

The machine also features an NC servo-driven tailstock to enable automated processes. The fully programmable tailstock utilizes its own AC servomotor and ball screw.

The control offers EIA/ISO programming as well as conversational programming that makes it easy to generate programs for angled drilling, milling, and tapping operations. The control also features advanced hardware and software functions that help ensure high productivity and performance accuracy in complex part production, the company states.

A variety of automation strategies can be integrated with the machine, including an automatic bar feeder, gantry robots, and custom systems.
