Leamington Spa-based Mills CNC Ltd (www.millscnc.co.uk) has introduced a range of twin-spindle turning centres into the UK and Irish markets.

The Puma TW 2600 series, which includes the Puma TW 2600-GL with integrated servo-driven gantry loader, allows the simultaneous machining of two parts.

The TW 2600 and TW 2600-GL machines are equipped with a 10in chuck as standard and provide rapids of 24m/min in the X and Y axes.

A maximum turning diameter of 360mm and a maximum tuning length of 170mm are provided on the standard TW 2600 machine; the corresponding capacities on the TW 2600-GL are 200 and 165mm respectively.

The spindles are rated at 18.5kW 3,500rev/min (404Nm of torque), and both servo-driven turrets have 10 tool positions.

The three-axis servo-driven gantry loader integrated on the TW 2600-GL can be configured to suit customer requirements with regard to workpiece feeding, unloading and storing; it can be positioned to the left, to the right or on both sides of the machine.

TW-series machines are fitted with the Doosan Fanuc i control system and Doosan’s Easy Operation Package for fast and easy set-up and programming.
