The ML-600Y is a linear way CNC turning center with Y-axis, built for cycle-time-driven production of parts in the 8-inch chuck class that carry off-center features: flats, cross-holes, keyways, and eccentric drilling. C-axis and live tooling come standard, so those features are machined in the same chucking as the turning, with no second setup.
The linear way construction favors rapid traverse and fast positioning, which is where this configuration earns its keep: high-mix precision work where the milling features are light to medium and the clock matters. The 60-degree bed inclination keeps rigidity and chip flow where Y-axis work needs them.
Full specifications are in the table below.
Machining length is the ladder within the Y-axis family: the ML-600Y covers parts up to about 520 mm, the ML-600MY extends to about 760 mm, and the ML-600LY reaches about 1,260 mm. If your parts run longer, step up the bed rather than compromise the setup.
Cutting harder materials or taking heavier, interrupted cuts? The BML-600Y carries the same Y-axis package on a hand-scraped box way (see our guide: Box Way vs Linear Way). Need back-end machining in the same cycle? The ML-600TY adds a sub-spindle.
A: Up to 520 mm with the standard 8-inch chuck, depending on turret type (480 mm with BMT65, 520 mm with VDI40). The optional 10-inch chuck reduces this slightly.
A: When your parts exceed the 600Y's roughly 520 mm envelope. The ML-600MY extends machining length to about 760 mm and the ML-600LY to about 1,260 mm, both moving up to a 10-inch chuck with identical Y-axis capability.
A: Both carry the same Y-axis package. The ML-600Y's linear way suits cycle-time-driven production with light-to-medium cutting; the BML-600Y's hand-scraped box way suits heavier and interrupted cuts.
