Live Tooling Turning Center
The Live Tooling Turning Center combines turning, milling, drilling, tapping, and contouring in a single heavy-duty platform. Equipped with a powered turret, C-axis spindle indexing, and optional Y-axis off-center capability, this CNC Mill-Turn Center enables high-precision machining of multi-feature parts in a single setup-slashing cycle times and eliminating secondary repositioning errors.

Key Features
C-Axis & Y-Axis Machining Flexibility
C-Axis Spindle Indexing: Provides full continuous or indexing spindle positioning for precise bolt patterns, angular slots, and profile milling.
Optional Y-Axis Capability: Adds orthogonal movement (+/-50 mm depending on model) for off-center drilling, side face milling, and complex 3D contouring without geometry compromise.
High-Rigidity Live Tooling Turret System
Turret Options: Available in 12-station or 16-station configurations with BMT (Base Mount Tooling) or VDI interface.
Driven Tool Power: High-torque motor drives tools continuously for stable milling and tapping across hard materials, including carbon steel, 304/316 stainless steel, aluminum alloys, brass, and titanium.
Machine Structure & Long-Term Stability
Meehanite Cast Iron Base: Heavy-duty, high-damping cast bed absorbs cutting vibration during aggressive roughing.
Precision Guideway System: High-rigidity linear motion or box guideways with premium NSK/THK support bearings ensure rapid acceleration and low thermal growth.
Thermally Stable Spindle: High-precision dynamic balancing reduces chatter and secures superior surface finish over long continuous production runs.
Typical Machined Components & Applications
Shaft Components: Multi-diameter turning, snap-ring grooves, keyway milling, cross-drilled lubrication holes in one pass.
Hydraulic Valve Bodies & Fittings: High-concentricity boring, precision threads, and angled oil-port drilling.
Flanges & Connectors: Facing, precise bolt-circle hole drilling (PCD), and peripheral milling.
Precision Industrial Parts: Automotive transmission components, medical machine fittings, electronic hardware, aerospace connectors.
Machining Capabilities & Material Versatility
Primary Operations
Turning: OD/ID turning, facing, profiling, variable-pitch threading, deep grooving.
Milling & Drilling: Cross-hole drilling, offset tapping, face milling, keyway cutting, polygon machining, dynamic profile milling.
Workpiece Material Compatibility
Metals: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel (304, 316, 17-4PH), Alloy Steel, Aluminum Alloys (6061, 7075), Brass, Bronze.
Engineering Plastics: POM, Nylon, PEEK.
