Single-spindle CNC turning center with Y-axis milling

The MSR60 single-spindle CNC turning center offers Y-axis and milling capabilities previously unavailable on a single-spindle turning machine. Advanced built-in automation, rapid shutter-to-shutter time, reduced spindle acceleration-deceleration, and minimized turret index time improve efficiency.

Compact design and advanced automation capabilities allow for a space-saving layout, maximizing productivity per unit of floor space. With integrated milling and turning, the machine is suitable for high-mix, low-volume production. The MSR60 has the same construction design, overall functionality, and benefits as the twin-spindle MWR120, but in a smaller, single-spindle package.

The MSR60 enables multitasking, creating complex shapes from raw materials to finished products without needing changeovers and eliminating the need for secondary operations.

Oversized NSK guideways and robust spindles maximize productivity, cutting capabilities, and workpiece tolerances.

With a directly coupled 8,000rpm live tool drive motor, it’s engineered to reliably deliver high-speed precision.

The built-in gantry loader can handle diverse workpieces, enabling unattended cell and system activity. It’s also available with a dual gantry loader for faster, more efficient run time.

A FANUC 31i control is standard, with Manual Guide I to simplify programming and automation setup for rapid NC program creation.

The MSR60 can also be integrated with a twin-spindle machine such as the MWR120, the interconnectivity allowing each machine to function independently and in tandem. A customer requiring three spindles for optimal cycle time can use two general turning machines for the initial spindles and an MSR60 for the third spindle requiring a Y-axis.
