XYZ BRINGS FULL TMC RANGE AND LAUNCHES ITS NEW CT65 LTY-S TWIN/SUB SPINDLE LATHE Hall 6 stand 72, Hall 17 stand 480 XYZ Machine Tools will be exhibiting the full range of its TMC machining centres for the first time at MACH <strong>2024</strong> and it will also be the premier for the new XYZ CT65 LTY-S Twin/Sub spindle lathe. In total it will have 16 machines under power on its main stand (Hall 20 stand 140) right next to the entrance to Hall 20. In addition, it will have an XYZ RLX 780 3m CNC Lathe on a second stand (Hall 6 stand 72) and two XYZ 500LR VMCs on the <strong>World</strong>Skills stand (Hall 17 stand 480) The XYZ TMC range features the easy to use and famous ProtoTRAK® control which delivers simple shop floor programming complete with optional handwheels for manual operation and winding forwards and backwards through the machining cycle. Built with a solid ribbed casting and the latest linear rail technology, these machines, are not much more than an equivalent sized XYZ Bed Mill, giving the advantages of the bed mill in an enclosed safe and clean working environment with an up to 20 station carousel tool changer. These machines give the versatility to make one off or small batch parts to full production runs with minimal operator effort. Making its debut at MACH <strong>2024</strong>, the Box Way XYZ CT65 LTY-S Twin/Sub spindle lathe brings the advantages of automated one hit turned and milled components to XYZ’s customers. The machine can turn parts up to 490 mm long and bar feed diameters up to NCMT is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. In 1964, it was one of the first companies to sell CNC machine tools into the UK and Irish markets when it won the sole agency to sell and service Japanese-built Makino machining centres. Twelve years later, a second agency agreement was reached with Okuma, another Japanese machine tool manufacturer, to sell its machining centres, lathes and grinders into the same markets. 66mm. With twin spindles, live tooling and Y and C axis, this machine can turn and mill complex parts at both ends in one operation, dropping the finished part into its part catcher for hours of unattended machining. For heavy duty machining applications, the XYZ 800 HD includes box slideways and massive ribbed castings for maximum rigidity. Matched with the Siemens 828D control with ShopMill and options for 4th axis rotary tables, this machine has the power and capability to machine the toughest materials. For full 5-axis simultaneous machining the XYZ UMC-5X can save hours in setup time especially where 6 sides of a part need to be milled or drilled. With suitable fixturing full In 2005, Makino-NCMT Grinding Division was established to develop and sell throughout Europe Makino machining platforms for creepfeed VIPER grinding of nickel alloys. Since 2015, NCMT has also been the Europe-wide agent for photo-activated adhesive workholding systems manufactured by Blue Photon in the US. Most recently, at the beginning of <strong>2024</strong> NCMT signed an exclusive distribution agreement in the UK and Ireland with Tritone Technologies, a global leader in additive manufacturing (AM) technology specialising in metal and ceramic applications. Typical AM components will be available to demonstrate the technology and there will be representation from the Israeli manufacturer on the stand (Hall 19, stand 130). Rigid, thermally-stable construction protects the Okuma Genos M560-V-e vertical machining centre (VMC) from thermal deformation, resulting in high machining performance for an entry-level machine. The 3-axis machine is able to process a variety of materials from titanium to machining can be done in just two setups. Repeatability on this machine is ± 2.5 microns with linear scales on X, Y and Z and high precision encoders on the A and C axes. A direct drive high torque 90 rpm motor is standard on the rotary axis and an option on the tilting axis. A 15,000 rpm spindle, Dynamic Collision Monitoring and Thermal Spindle Compensation are standard with options for 18,000 and 24,000 rpm spindles and Traori hole machining compensation making this a powerful and cost effective solution which has proved to be popular with aerospace manufacturers. The stand will also feature the ever-popular RMX Bed Mills, KMX Turret Mills and RLX Lathes. These machines can be used manually or under full CNC with their ProtoTRAK® controls. This makes learning and operating the machines very simple, quickly and easily getting to a finished component. This year, XYZ Machine Tools is celebrating 40 years since it was founded. Now it has over 15,000 machines in daily use in the UK and across Europe where it has an extensive distribution network. It is well known for the reliability and quality of its machines and its after sales service. MACH <strong>2024</strong> is an important part of these celebrations and the team at XYZ Machine Tools is looking forward to meeting you at the show. www.xyzmachinetools.com NCMT IS CELEBRATING ITS 60TH ANNIVERSARY Hall 19 Stand 130 aluminium and does so without sacrificing dimensional accuracy, finish quality or productivity. At the show, the machine will be equipped with a Cellro X20 robotic system for component load / unload and storage. The M560-V-e has a 1,050 x 560 x 460 mm working envelope and a maximum table load of 900 kg. The 15,000 rpm BT40 spindle moves in the X and Z axes, with the table moving in Y. A 32-position tool magazine is provided. Software can be added, including Machining Navi to minimise chatter by finding the best cutting conditions. It employs a microphone to detect the onset of vibration and feeds information back to the control. A change in spindle speed is then recommended so that an adjustment can be made to suppress the chatter. The popular Genos M460-5AX VMC with a working volume of 762 x 460 x 460 mm will be at MACH and will be one of the first Okuma machines to be exhibited in the UK with the manufacturer’s new OSP 500 control. It was the original 5-axis machine in Okuma’s economical, series-built Genos range. The trunnion with rotary table and 5-axis simultaneous control give the machine the ability to produce highly complex components. The BT40 spindle is rated at 15,000 rpm / 22 kW, which is served from a 48-position tool magazine. www.ncmt.co.uk 12 <strong>Manufacturing</strong> <strong>Machinery</strong> <strong>World</strong>, <strong>April</strong> <strong>2024</strong>
