At Metalmite, we understand the importance of staying current with the latest advancements in technology. That's why we recently invested in a new CNC lathe machine, which has proved to be a game-changer for us. We were hesitant to move away from our trusted brand, Mori Seiki, but after seeing a demo of the Samsung machine and realizing that it was built on the same SL series bed, we decided to take the plunge.
One of the standout features of this machine is the inclusion of live tools. This means that our operators can perform multiple operations on a single workpiece without the need for additional machines or setups, saving time and money. The live tools also allow for greater machining flexibility and accuracy, as they can be used to perform milling, drilling, and tapping operations.
In addition to the live tools, our new CNC lathe boasts a 15-inch chuck, a 4.625-inch through bore, and 60 inches between centers, making it ideal for larger and more complex parts. The programmable steady rest and tailstock also give our operators greater control and precision during the machining process.
Overall, we are thrilled with our decision to purchase this Samsung CNC lathe machine. It has exceeded our expectations and provided us with the capabilities we need to take on even more complex projects for our customers. We look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of what's possible with this state-of-the-art equipment.
