Mills CNC, Leamington Spa (
www.millscnc.co.uk), has announced that its DNM Mark II range of Doosan three-axis vertical machining centres is now available with the Siemens 828D CNC system and Siemens’ Shopmill conversational programming software.
In a phased introduction of the new machines into the UK, the DNM 400 II and DNM 500 II have been available as stock machines since June; the DNM 650 and DNM 750 machines will be available later this year.
Mills CNC’s technical director, Tony Dale, says: “A few years ago, Doosan began supplying Siemens-controlled lathes and machining centres to markets in Asia and Europe — most notably Germany.
“The steady growth in demand for Siemens-controlled lathes and machining centres here in the UK and Ireland has been the catalyst for us stocking these machines — starting with Doosan three-axis machining centres.”
To support the introduction of Siemens control systems, Mills CNC has added a facility in its machine tool demonstration area that will help customers better understand the CNC options available on Doosan machines and allow them to explore the relative merits of software solutions such as Fanuc Manual Guide i, Siemens Shopmill and Heidenhain conversational programming systems.
