BML-600Y

Off-Center Features on a Box Way Platform

The BML-600Y is a box way CNC turning center with Y-axis, built for parts in the 8-inch chuck class that carry off-center features: flats, cross-holes, keyways, and eccentric drilling that would otherwise mean a second setup on a milling machine. C-axis and live tooling come standard, so milling happens in the same chucking as the turning.

The box way construction is hand-scraped along its full length, giving the vibration damping and long-term geometric stability that heavy or interrupted cuts demand. The 60-degree bed inclination keeps chip flow and rigidity where Y-axis work needs them.

Key Specifications

• Swing: Φ600 mm over bed, Φ450 mm over saddle
• Chuck: 8-inch standard, 10-inch optional
• Maximum machining length: up to 520 mm with the 8-inch chuck (exact figure depends on turret type)
• Y-axis travel: ±50 mm, with C-axis and live tooling standard
• Spindle: 50 to 4,500 rpm (8-inch), Φ62 mm bore, Φ86 mm optional

BML-600Y or Its Siblings?

Machining length is the ladder within the Y-axis family: the BML-600Y covers parts up to about 520 mm, the BML-600MY extends to about 760 mm, and the BML-600LY reaches about 1,260 mm. If your parts run longer than the 600Y envelope, step up the bed rather than compromise the setup.

Prefer a linear way platform for lighter, faster production cycles? The ML-600Y is the same Y-axis capability on linear guideways (see our guide: Box Way vs Linear Way). Need back-end machining in the same cycle? The BML-600TY adds a sub-spindle.
