The M16 type VIII features a B axis for rotary tools on the gang tool post. It can machine angled holes and complete shapes. The swivel angle of the B axis is 135° and it can be used in both front and back machining. The back tool post is equipped with a Y axis (type VIII) and up to 9 tools can be carried. But we have not just upped the number of controlled axes and the number of mountable tools. In addition to upping the rapid feed rate to 32 m/min and running high-speed calculation with the latest NC unit, the maximum rotational speeds of the front/back spindle and the rotary tools on the turret tool post have also been increased. By machining with the optimum conditions for small-diameter workpieces and small-diameter drills/end mills, high productivity can be achieved.
