Heckmondwike-based 600 UK Ltd (www.600uk.com) has announced the latest addition to its Clausing range of machine tools, the MillPWR CNC mill.

The machine is fitted with an Acu-Rite ‘conversational’ control system from Heidenhain, which is available in four languages — English, French, German and Spanish.

According to 600 UK, the MillPWR mill allows users to create and program complex parts in just minutes, manufacture one-offs and small-batch parts, and routinely mill prototype and test components. Scales with a resolution of 1µm are fitted as standard.

The MillPWR Acu-Rite control uses a 12.1in screen that displays graphics in either 2-D and 3-D line, or 3-D solid formats. Operators can also upload, edit and run G-code and DXF files, enabling the use and transfer of programs directly to and from the machine.

There is 2.5GB of internal memory, plus the ability to store and modify up to 99 part programs. For external storage, USB and Ethernet capabilities are available as standard.

The MillPWR CNC mill is supplied in three models, with table sizes up to 254 x 1,370mm. Spindle powers of 2.2 or 3.7kW are available, giving spindle speeds up to 4,350rev/min. Spindle tapers of either R8, ISO30 or ISO40 can be specified.
