Boring mills and live-spindle HMCs gain speed in the turns with new integrated contouring head introduced at Houstex

Integrated contouring head introduces expanded feature processing flexibility with standard tools, automatic tool change, cycle time reductions and labor savings. Absolute positioning slide handles diameters ranging from 50 to 540 mm (2 to 21 inches) as standard, using tools up to 600 mm (24 inches) long.

MAG combines the reach and power of its boring spindles with a newly developed integrated contouring head, introduced for its horizontal boring mills in 1250 and 1600 mm (49.1 and 63 inch) table/pallet sizes and live-spindle HMCs in 800 to1600 mm (31.5 to 63 inch) pallet size. The new design is being introduced at the Houstex show, with displays and information available at the Hillary Machine booth, No. 1411 (www.hillaryinc.com).
