WFL Millturn Technologies presented two turning-boring-milling machines at EMO 2023 in Hanover last month: the M50 MILLTURN/3000 mm and the M80X MILLTURN/4500 mm. WFL machines are available in the UK from Kyal Machine Tools.

Visitors could experience the M80X live with a demonstration of gear shaft machining, including measurement of the gear teeth. Both machines feature a new design and come with the Sinumerik ONE control.

The M80X MILLTURN with 4500 mm machining length and 1000 mm turning diameter features a grinding attachment and a vibration-damped Silent Tools Plus boring bar. Visitors could see the machine’s capabilities for themselves with a live machining demonstration involving a gear shaft measuring 800 mm in diameter and 1824 mm in length. During the demonstration, the machine produced gear teeth using WFL FLANC cycles.

On the M50 MILLTURN/3000 mm, WFL provided live machining of a power generation shaft, as well as turbine blades and fir tree, impeller and generator shaft profiles. The demonstration workpiece had a diameter of 600 mm and a length of 2355 mm.

WFL turning-boring-milling machines now feature Sinumerik ONE from Siemens with its new user interface. The new machine control is modern and user-friendly, while the integrated SIMATIC S7-1500F PLC enables PLC cycle times that are up to 10 times faster than its predecessor. Boasting a selection of innovative functions, Sinumerik ONE optimises machining speed, contour accuracy and machining quality. According to WFL Millturn, Sinumerik ONE makes machine tools more productive and therefore faster, more flexible and more efficient.
