Mori Seiki introduces the NZ2000 T3Y3, the world's first multi-axis machine manufactured with three turrets with built-in milling motors and a Yaxis function.
Built for high-efficiency, mass production machining, the NZ Series is an ideal solution for machining bar material, shafts, flanges and precision equipment. The series also provides users with synchronized machining, and dramatically reduced machining time. Specifically, the NZ machine with the 2-turret, 2-spindle specifications can reduce machining time by approximately 30% when compared to other conventional machines.
The machine's second turret features a unique, high-rigidity ram structure, which ensures higher chip disposal ability. Additionally, a 3D interference checking function that runs on the MAPPS III next generation operating system is incorporated into the NZ Series design, enabling operators to monitor the complex movements of the turrets in real time.
Other models in the series include the NZ1500, featuring a 6-in. chuck, and the NZ2000 with an 8-in. chuck. Customers have the option of selecting from two turrets without a Y-axis function to three turrets with the Yaxis function, resulting in 10 different variations of the machine. Furthermore, a maximum of 48 tools can be installed, enabling minimal setup changes and hours of unmanned operation.
