Q: How many axes does the MT-540 control simultaneously?

The MT-540 is a high-performance 7-axis mill-turn center that achieves exceptional precision by simultaneously controlling the X, Y, Z, and W linear axes alongside the A-axis for table indexing, the C-axis for spindle orientation, and a B-axis milling head capable of tilting ±110°. Beyond its core simultaneous movement capabilities, the machine's advanced modular design allows for seamless functional expansion, enabling users to easily integrate twin spindles, a multifunctional rotary tailstock, and various automation modules. Furthermore, it can be equipped with a workpiece collection device, a rotary table, or a rotary chuck system, providing a highly adaptable platform for complex, multi-tasking manufacturing environments.

Q: What is the B-axis range and precision on the MT-540?

A: The MT-540's B-axis rotates ±110° with 0.001° minimum indexing precision — enabling compound angled milling, undercut features, and 5-sided machining in a single setup.

Q: What industries is the MT-540 best suited for?

A: The MT-540 targets aerospace structural components, automotive drivetrain parts (transmissions, CV joints), medical implants, turbine blades, impellers, and precision tooling — wherever complex multi-axis geometry and high surface finish quality must be achieved in a single setup.

Specifications

The MT-540 Turn-Mill Center is Ingenious Machinery’s high-end 7-axis mill-turn platform, combining X/Y/Z/W linear axes with A, B, and C rotary axes for true multi-axis simultaneous machining. Designed for manufacturers in aerospace, automotive drivetrain, and medical device sectors requiring the highest levels of part complexity and geometric accuracy in a single machine setup, the MT-540 eliminates multiple setups and secondary operations.

The MT-540’s B-axis milling head rotates ±110° at 0.001° precision, enabling machining of compound angled surfaces, undercuts, and multi-directional features. The KM63 milling spindle delivers 12,000 rpm and 160 N-m maximum torque from a 29.3/35kW spindle motor — providing both the speed for aluminum aerospace structures and the torque for titanium and steel components. The A-axis (360°/15° indexing) and C-axis (360°/0.001°) further expand multi-axis capability.

A 36-tool ATC (expandable to 72 tools) enables long unattended production runs, while 36 m/min rapid traverse on X/Y/Z axes minimizes non-cutting time. The MT-540 supports both Siemens 840D and Fanuc 31i CNC controllers — matching customer preferences and existing facility standards. Maximum machining capacity: Φ350mm diameter, 700mm length, within Φ540mm swing. Manufactured in Taichung, Taiwan by Ingenious Machinery.
