Configuration
The ‘Optima’ range of Multi-Slide lathes has 2 machine bed sizes and 4 spindle capacities. The machines have a 3 axes uppe slide with capacity for 8 tools, 3 of them can be motorized. The 2 axes platen slide can up to 12 tools. 6 tools are used in the main spindle with a further 6 tools capable of working simultaneously on the second spindle. It has 4 positions for motorized tools allowing off-centre drilling and tapping. The second spindle allows the simultaneous machining of secondary operations. The machines are supplied with either an Interactive Touch Screen PC Control or Multi-Axis ISO Fagor 8070 Control; both systems allowing simultaneous machining with up to3 tools. The machines are complete with parts catcher, coolant tank and swarf conveyor.
Optional driven tools for: differential drilling, accelerated drilling, off centre drilling and tapping, X axis milling. 3 axis upper slide: 6 tool capacity allows complex external machining. Optional driven tools for: cross hole drilling and tapping and Y and Z axis milling.
Independent second spindle: infinitely variable speed control. Component capacity the same as the main spindle. Z axis follow control for simultaneous main operation and second operation machining. Fully synchronized with the main spindle for parting off.
Fitted with an air blast and parts ejector as standard.

Simultaneous Multi-tool machining. Full overlapping of main operations and secondary operations provide efficient production.
Independent simultaneous machining of main operation and second operation.
Interactive Touch Screen PC or Multi-Axis ISO FAGOR Control 8070 CNC. It allows the operator to easily create component programs. The processing speed of the control enables the machine to produce the components with fast cycle times.
Applications
This lathe has been designed for the manufacture of medium size pieces with high number of operations that demand a great production and high precision.
