Leamington Spa-based
Mills CNC, the exclusive distributor of DN Solutions’ and Zayer machine tools in the UK and Ireland, is showcasing a high-performance, multi-tasking mill-turn machine at the
Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2025 (Stand C160), which takes place at the Farnborough International Exhibition Centre, 4-6 February.
The machine, a DN Solutions’ SMX 2100SB, is a popular and proven machine that delivers high accuracies, fast processing speeds and unrivalled machining flexibility; with its five-axis simultaneous machining capabilities it is ideal for component manufacturers looking to process complex, high-precision parts in one hit.
The SMX 2100SB is equipped with the latest, advanced Fanuc 31i-Plus control and features two, left and right, opposing 8in and 10in chuck (4,000 and 5,000rev/min) spindles, a 12,000rev/min B-axis milling head, a 40-tool position, servo-driven ATC with its own touchscreen operating panel, and a 12/24-position lower turret with 5,000rev/min driven tooling capabilities.
In addition to its rigid design and build, the SMX 2100SB comes supplied with high-precision roller-type LM guideways that minimise non-cutting time, and integrated thermal compensation that ensures high accuracies over long machining runs and lengthy periods of operation.
The SMX 2100SB was recently showcased at Mills’ ‘Pushing the Boundaries’ Open House in October and later, in the same month, at Seco’s ‘Inspiration through Innovation’ event where the machine’s cutting capabilities were on full display machining high-precision parts from tough materials. The machine will be under power at the show, enabling visitors to see its impressive capabilities for themselves.
Tony Dale, Mills CNC’s CEO, said: “The SMX 2100SB can help component manufacturers revolutionise their productivity and process efficiencies. Visit our stand and we’ll show you how.”
