A pair of competitively-priced CNC turning centres, T1 and T2, are now available from DMG Mori aimed at the entry-level market. Both machines have a 12-station turret, with VDI 30 tooling on the smaller lathe and VDI 40 on the larger model. They are available as two-axis lathes and in three-axis configuration with a C-axis spindle and driven tools.

The T1 has an 11.7 kW/4500 rpm/140 Nm spindle and an 8-inch chuck, whereas the T2 features a 19.5 kW/3500 rpm/319 Nm spindle and a 10-inch chuck.Bar capacities are 65 and 80 mm diameter respectively, whilethe X-axis stroke is 232 and 300 mm, and the Z-axis figures are 410 and 730 mm. The lathes are highly productive; the T1, for example, is able to achieve a best-in-class depth of cut of 4 mm in carbon steel at a cutting speed of 240 m/min.

A robust machine bed and linear guideways in all axes ensure dynamic and accurate turning. Both lathes feature a linear scale for feeding back the X-axis position to the Siemens Sinumeric One control, which has touchscreen data input and ShopTurn programming. The machines are pre-equipped with IoTconnector networking for integration into a digitalised manufacturing environment.

Each turning centre is available in three versions, Complete, Plus and Pro, to suit the user’s production requirements. Both lathe types are available under DMG Mori’s PAYZR equipment-as-a-service subscription offering, based on pay-per-use rather than ownership. It allows manufacturers to acquire a new machine tool by paying a monthly subscription plus a fee per spindle hour used (no minimum number of hours specified).
