Thread: Turning Centre reccomendations
Threaded View

Hello All!
I'm new to the forum and as a Mechanical Design engineer who has been asked by my new company to research and recommend a new machine for our shop, I am looking for some help!
Right now we lose a lot of time transferring parts between the lathe and mill, so I think we need a turning center/lathe with driven tools to help with flats, non central drilling/tapping and radial holes. It needs to be fairly compact as the shop is not that large as we mainly make prototype parts and smaller batches (~10 off) for production. Component size it probably a max of 100mm diameter and 400mm long. I have looked at the Hass ST-10Y. Something like the Hurco TM6i seems close, but doesn't have live tooling.
Any thoughts or recommended lines of inquiry would much appreciated.
Cheers
