Y-Axis Machining on Long Parts, Linear Way Speed

The ML-600LY is a long-bed linear way CNC turning center with Y-axis, built for shafts and extended parts that carry features along their length: keyways, flats, cross-holes, and eccentric patterns. Traditionally those features meant re-clamping a long, heavy workpiece on a milling machine. On the ML-600LY, the part stays chucked while turning and milling happen in the same cycle.

The linear way construction keeps traverse and positioning fast, which matters on long parts where the turret covers real distance every cycle. For high length-to-diameter workpieces, the steady rest is configured for your part before the machine ships.

Key Specifications

• Swing: Φ600 mm over bed, Φ450 mm over saddle
• Chuck: 10-inch standard, 12-inch optional
• Maximum machining length: up to 1,260 mm with the 10-inch chuck (exact figure depends on turret type)
• Y-axis travel: ±50 mm, with C-axis and live tooling standard
• Spindle: 50 to 3,500 rpm (10-inch), Φ86 mm bore, Φ91 or Φ105 mm optional

Full specifications are in the table below.

ML-600LY or Its Siblings?

The ML-600LY is the long-bed step of the Y-axis ladder: the ML-600Y covers parts to about 520 mm, the ML-600MY to about 760 mm, and the ML-600LY reaches about 1,260 mm. For parts beyond that, the 800 series carries machining lengths up to 3,000 mm.

Heavier cutting on long, tough workpieces? The BML-600LY is the hand-scraped box way version. Need back-end machining on the same long part? The ML-600LTY adds a sub-spindle to the long bed.
