Twin turret CNC vertical spindle lathe - with a smaller ‘footprint’ - designed for the automotive industry - machines shafts and minimises the influence of heat and during continuous machining.

Mori Seiki is proud to announce the release of its new two-turret shaft lathe, the NZ-S1500.

Created specifically to machine shafts, the footprint of the NZ-S1500 is less than half the previous models, providing dramatic space reductions for production lines.

To increase productivity, the NZ-S1500 employs a symmetrical design in which the two turrets are aligned with the spindle, which is mounted on the vertical bed.

This layout also serves to reduce the influence of heat and improve accuracy during continuous machining, holding thermal displacement to under +/-10 micron.

The unique arrangement of the NZ-S1500’s components also improves accessibility and chip disposal.

Chips fall directly into the chip pan, avoiding accumulation, and a vertical protector prevents chips from reaching the linear guide or ball screws.

The NZ-S1500 can accommodate workpieces with a machining diameter of 120mm diameter and a standard machining diameter of 60?20mm diameter.

A high-speed loader with a rotary hand function increases the efficiency of the machine.

In addition to its small footprint, the NZ-S1500 also measures just 5ft in height, allowing the operator an easier line of sight of the surrounding production environment.

Mori Seiki produces extremely reliable machine tools and distributes worldwide.

The US headquarters is in Chicago with offices in Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, and New Jersey.
