The latest version of the company’s L-series line, the eight-axis L20X, incorporates Y-axis movement for the subspindle side and can be loaded with 30 tools. This means more tools are available for machining both the front and back side of a workpiece, and more operations can be overlapped on the front side of the workpiece.
The company also offers the Miyano ABX-51THY, which is a multitasking turning center with a Fanuc 31i control and 10.4" full-color screen. The machine has three turrets and three Y-axis functions to reduce cycle times for complex parts, the company says. Live tooling available for all tool stations enables more balanced milling. Turrets are built to provide high rigidity and cutting stability for turning, drilling and milling. Similarly, sturdy left and right spindles are engineered to endure heavy cutting conditions.
