Vertical Lathe
Maternini increases his production potential!
A new machine tool has permanently become part of the MDM machine fleet in the internal department of mechanical machining. This is a double column vertical lathe, model TCD-320. Through its vertical spindle, this innovative machine is capable of offering two fundamental operations in the world of mechanical constructions: turning and milling. Its 2,5 meter platform, the support base for the various pieces, allows the turning of diameters up to a maximum of 3,2 meters with a maximum height of 2 meters and a maximum loadable weight of 25 tons. PCD tools can be assembled in order to obtain the desired shapes in the most precise and rapid way. At the same time, tools dedicated to specific milling can also be installed and used for this particular process. In fact, this multi-task machine is equipped with a double rotating magazine containing 16 different tools for turning and 16 for milling. A Siemens CNC numerical control guarantees maximum reliability for safely obtaining the shape and tolerances required for each piece designed by the Maternini Technical Office. The use of this lathe will allow an increase in skills in the construction of Davide Maternini machinery and also a greater mastery in phases of the production cycle which will guarantee MDM brand products even more reliable and solid.
