WFL M80 Millturn

One Million Possibilities
An essential feature of the M80 MILLTURN is the enormous building variety out of the modular machine concept together with the best sizing for the individual machine configurations. The machine concept is based on minimized distances of tool and work piece and widest possible guideway distances resulting in an optimum in rigidity at ideal geometries. The machine control is the Siemens SINUMERIK 840D SOLUTION LINE in combination with the new Sinamic drives.
A Cut Above the Rest
Core equipment of the machine is the Turning-Boring-Milling-Unit which has been developed in dimension and performance for very heavy machining. Proven options like the heavy duty boring bar changer or the U-axis is part of the modular machine system. On top of that more machining units can be incorporated on an additional top slide.
All center distances (but 1000mm) are also available in a double spindle version and for a further productivity enhancement an additional tool turret can be offered. Due to the innovative machine design the bottom guide ways do not require any telescopic covers. Just straight stainless steel sheet metal makes a perfect chip flow. The minimum distance between steady rest slide and any neighboring equipment is only 50mm and results in short clamping distances. Steady rest slide and tailstock are powered and can be positioned in program individually and simultaneous.
Rigid, Precise and Flexible
The new tool magazine is accessible from the front of the machine and is a compact, stable and truly maintenance free unit. A highly dynamic tool shuttle with rack and pinion drive is equipped with linear axes thus avoiding any centrifugal forces caused by rotation so even tools with 35kg in weight are handled safely and quick.
In general special attention was paid towards design solutions with a maximum in reliability and durability and simultaneously good maintainability.
Focus on Technical Know-How
Beside the demonstration of the WFL machine models the extensive technology range is being presented: Next to turning, boring, milling, diverse other technologies, like circular-, turn-milling, B-axis turning, gun drilling, ID turning, gear hobbing and further boring and milling operations are shown. With a Millturn every geometric contour can be treated with maximum precision. There are no limits with regard to the work piece complexity. Ingeniously multifunctional.
