Tool turret in UT50 SMY version (direct drive)

The tool turret of the UT50 SMY, designed for machining operations with a high proportion of milling, has a BMT45P interface with 12 positions and integrates dual motor technology: one servo motor drives the swivel movement and another water-cooled motor, integrated in the turret disc, drives the tool holders directly

Main spindle in UT50 SMY version (direct drive)

The integrated spindle motors (ISM) of the UNIVERSALTURN 50, mounted in large precision bearings, offer a wide speed range and excellent concentricity – ideal for economical machining of steel and high-speed cutting of aluminium. Symmetrically designed spindle stocks, temperature sensors at the bearing points and liquid cooling ensure high thermal stability and process reliability.

Counter spindle in UT50 SMY version (direct drive)

The counter spindle is mounted on a separate roller guide and moves automatically over 510 mm. A stroke-monitored, coolant-flushed parts ejector ensures reliable removal of the workpieces. A hollow clamping cylinder with 50 mm passage is available as an option – ideal for unloading long shafts through the counter spindle.

SINUMERIK ONE

The UNIVERSALTURN 50 is currently available exclusively with the modern SINUMERIK ONE control system from Siemens. This offers an intuitive, dialogue-based programming system and seamless integration into digital manufacturing processes

Fanuc 31i-B CNC control incl. manual Guide i Dialog programming system.

Continuous-path control with high sophisticated technology functions using digital drives for standard and complex machining, such as turning, milling, drilling, rigid tapping, polygon turning, High dynamical and precise digital drives.

Bar Loader options available - Details on request.

Versatile UNIVERSAL lathe

With main spindle, tailstock and turret including milling drive. Designed for machining medium-sized chuck, shaft, or bar parts. It impresses with its user-friendly handling, high accuracy, fast changeover processes, and efficient cost-effectiveness
