As good as it gets!

New DynaPath-controlled slant bed lathe range from MACH Machine Tools raises turning standards.

MACH Machine Tools, the leading CNC and manual machine tool and workshop equipment supplier to UK, Irish, European and US component manufacturers and toolmakers, and a growing number of educational organisations, has recently introduced a new range of 8” chuck DynaPath-controlled CNC slant bed lathes into the market.

The MACH MDSL series, comprising two models – the 2-axis MDSL-202 and the multi-tasking 3-axis MDSL-203M equipped with driven tooling capabilities, provide customers with exceptional cutting performance, fast processing speeds, high precision, machining flexibility and unmatched reliability.

Both machines have a rigid design and construction and are equipped with infinitely variable spindles (3500rpm), bi-directional 12-station turrets that deliver fast tool selection and MT4 tailstocks (370mm travel) for the machining of longer workpieces.

MACH MDSL-202 and MACH MDSL-203M lathes have maximum turning lengths of 500mm and maximum turning diameters of 160mm, with 575mm distance between centres and 30m/min rapids on their X-and Z-axes.

The MACH MDSL 203-M is supplied with a C-axis and driven tooling (4000rpm).

The MDSL range features the advanced and proven DynaPath control integrated with MACH Machine Tools’ industry-leading free, 24/7, Wi-Fi enabled ‘Remote Assist’ facility that provides customers with expert (remote) applications and service support, including free software updates, for the life of the machine.

Says Dave Andrew:

“MACH’s ‘Remote Assist’ is truly ground breaking and provides customers with service and support that cannot be beaten anywhere…or by anyone.

“’Remote Assist’ advantages, like the 20 minute maximum time we guarantee to respond to customers’ queries, means that machine downtime can be kept to an absolute minimum.”

Both machines are powered by the popular and proven DynaPath control system which, amongst its many strengths, includes the following features:

• Conversational and ISO/G code programming capabilities which makes it easy to program machines on the shop floor.
• 64Gb on-board storage and 10,000 block look-ahead capability that ensure fast processing speeds resulting in improved accuracies and surface finishes.
• Functions such as datum setting using alignment, sub-program calling, the use of macro-programming, the ability to facilitate program simulation using tool path or 3D rendered graphics, a programmable spindle control along with the provision of DXF & Onboard DXF editor, plus a multitude of communication methods, including Wi-Fi connectivity.

As with all MACH machines, the MDSL lathes are supplied, as standard, with a number of technology features that include -: linear guideways, a set of hard and soft jaws, four x boring tool holders and sleeves, four turning tool holders, turret wedges, revolving MT-4 centre, and high-pressure coolant and centralised automatic lubrication systems.
