The All-New MT3 — for Grinding, Milling and Turning
John Saunders of the popular YouTube channel NYC CNC and Saunders Machine Works visits Bourn & Koch to talk about its latest innovation, MT³, the vertical grinder designed for milling and turning. (Sponsored)
MT³ is a high-precision vertical cylindrical grinder designed for ID/OD grinding processes on medium-sized workpieces. The machine utilizes an HBK-200 split spindle system to provide maximum flexibility. MT³ standard spindles are designed to handle not only precision grinding, but also milling, drilling and tapping. Milling operations are programmed via FANUC Manual Guide-i with the incorporation of a virtual Y-axis. The addition of turning spindles to MT³ brings the machine full circle to a one and done complete manufacturing solution. Turning tool spindles are of a rugged, dedicated design to avoid the typical pitfalls of a mill-turn machine. The robotic cell of MT³ is configurable to allow for automatic change of both tools and spindles in addition to part loading. The cell utilizes a FANUC R-2000 robot with a high payload to load your spindles plus parts to keep the machine running on its own, allowing operators to focus on other value-added tasks.
