At the top of the Mylas portfolio of turn-mill centres available in the UK from Dugard is the new MTY series of twin-spindle, twin turret, triple channel machines. Designed to create productivity gains, the Mylas MTY range can simultaneously engage three cutting tools on the workpiece through a range of configuration options.

The Mylas MTY is available in two models, the MTY 51 and the MTY 65 that offer 51 and 65mm bar turning capacity. Within the two models are a series of different configurations. For instance, the MTY 51A or 65A configuration offers a single Yaxis with two tools cutting in tandem; the B-type machine offers a single Yaxis, tailstock and two tools in simultaneous cut; whereas the MTY 51C and 65C type provides two tools on the part with double Yaxis.

The MTY D is a double-channel machine with a double Yaxis and tailstock, while the MTY51E and 65E offer three tools in simultaneous cut with double Yaxis and tailstock.

Within these options, Mylas offers a 5500rpm main spindle on the MTY51 and 4000rpm on the MTY65 with a power rating of 7.5/11kW plus NN bearing type and roller bearings at the front and rear of the spindle to deliver cutting power directly to the cutting surface – resisting axial and radial forces. Complementing these capabilities on the sub-spindle is a 6000rpm unit offering 5.5/7.5kW that sits alongside an optional tailstock with 100mm travel to increase turning length up to 5xD.

To offer maximum flexibility, the two BMT55 tooling turrets each provide 16 tool stations with a maximum tool capacity of 64 positions.
