The MB-2016 Double Column Milling Machine is engineered for rigid, accurate, and efficient cutting performance through its use of traditional and robust construction methods. It features full casting components with square box guideways on all three axes, which are finished with precision hand scraping to maximize stiffness, dampen cutting vibration, and ensure precise, low-friction movement. The machine’s foundational stability is guaranteed by a wide base with solid columns and a stout beam, which provides the best structure stiffness to maintain exceptional geometric accuracy across the entire work envelope. The MB-2016 offers an ample working area with an X-axis travel of 2-000 mm, a Y-axis travel of 1-600 mm, and a maximum table load capacity of 8-000 kg. Power is delivered by a high-torque, 2-step gear spindle with a continuous rating of 18-5-22 kW and a fast rapid traverse rate of 15 m-min on all axes. The Z-axis uses a reliable twin hydraulic cylinder and pressurized nitrogen accumulator balancing design for smooth, precise feeding. For high production efficiency, the machine is equipped with a column side-mounted, cam-type Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) that achieves a tool-to-tool change time of just 3 seconds, supported by features like Random Tool Setting and Large Tool Management.
