CMZ presents their new CNC lathe series TTL. This a new generation of lathe that can be included in the multiturret range together with the TX series. Its rapid speed of 30m/min, milling capacity up to 12,000rpm and machine bed inclination of 60° makes it ideal for bar work.
The lathe consists of two lathe, both being able to work in the two spindles; both of them can be configured with live tooling and Y axis. It also has a subspindle that can move vertically and horizontally (X3, Z3). This last function makes possible to turn with three tools simultaneously, being able to reduce cycle time. Additionaly, the TTL offers other interesting accessories for different types of industries; the lathe can be equipped with a tailstock over the subspindle which allows to machine long parts in the main spindle while the lower turret is finishing the part in the subpspindle which makes it ideal for shaft machining.
This document tries to summarise the different examples of use to show the possibilities of the new TTL series.

This powerful 66mm bar capacity twin turret twin spindle CNC lathe can cut with 3 or even 4 tools simultaneously making the TTL a great machine for producing higher volumes of complex parts. Superimposed machining is made possible by a combination of sub-spindle axis movement in X and Z and 3 programming…
Chatter must be avoided at all costs. Chatter not only produces a poor surface finish on diameters but also seriously limits tool life. Long slender shafts, extended boring bars, thin walls and so on, can present real challenges. Spindle Speed Variation function allows the spindle speed to fluctuate…
Material is a considerable percentage in component cost. In order to avoid large material waste on the cut off, the blades are usually very thin and long, which often lead to vibrations and bad surface finish. The only solution is to reduce the tool overhang to minimise the effect; however, the…
When the geometry of the part allows it, it is even possible to cut with four tools at the same time performing a double balance cutting process. One of the turrets and the subspindle (TOOL 1+TOOL 2) will be programmed with superimpose function and the other turret will be programmed as a single trajectory…
Our applications department can analyse in detail the process to be carried out and offer you a part study helping you to reduce cycle times.
