The ML-430 is the one flat-bed machine in our lineup: a 0-degree bed carrying a 6-inch chuck, a 6,000 rpm spindle through a Φ56 mm bore, and 240 mm of machining length within a Φ430 mm swing. Small precision parts at speed are its whole purpose: valve components, small fittings, electronic and medical hardware where diameters are small, tolerances are tight, and cycle time decides the part cost.
The ML-430Y is the comb-style variant, and it works differently from every other machine we build. There is no turret to index: the tools sit side by side on a gang slide with 165 mm of travel, and changing tools means moving the slide, a fraction of a second instead of a turret rotation. Over thousands of small parts, those saved seconds compound into real capacity. Gang tool machining length runs to 240 mm, with axial and radial live tooling options adding drilled and milled features in the same setup. It suits exactly one kind of shop perfectly: high-volume, small-diameter precision parts where cycle time is the business model.
Parts too large for a 6-inch chuck, or needing a turret’s tool capacity? The ML-360 and ML-560 family carry the 8-inch class. Off-center features on turret machines? Our Y-axis turning centers cover that with a different architecture. Tough materials at this size? The BML-500 is the compact box way answer.
A: The ML-430 is a conventional compact lathe. The ML-430Y replaces the turret with a gang tool slide, cutting tool-change time to a fraction of a second for high-volume small-part production, with axial and radial live tooling options.
A: On a gang tool lathe, tools mount side by side on a slide instead of a rotating turret, so a tool change is a rapid slide move rather than an indexing cycle. For small parts with several operations, that removes seconds from every cycle.
A: High-volume small-diameter precision work within a 6-inch chuck and 240 mm envelope: valve parts, small fittings, and electronic or medical components where the 6,000 rpm spindle keeps small-diameter cutting speeds up.
