MAIER ML32 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The MAIER ML32 is a precision CNC Swiss-type automatic screw machine engineered for high-volume production of complex, tight-tolerance components. This horizontally-oriented machining center features dual main spindles and a sub-spindle, each capable of 8,000 RPM with 10 HP motors, enabling simultaneous multi-axis machining operations. The machine accommodates workpieces up to 1.260" in diameter with maximum turning lengths of 8.660", supported by a robust bar feeder system for automated stock advancement. The primary turret-style tool carrier houses up to 16 turning tools and 8 rotary tools, with a secondary slide-mounted carrier providing an additional 4 turning and 4 rotary tools, each powered at 2 HP. The machine offers 6 standard axes with optional 7-axis configurations, including Y-axis capability for off-center secondary milling and drilling operations performed with precision C-axis indexing at 5-degree increments. Travel capabilities include 9.840" X-axis, 7.870" Y-axis, and 3.930" Z-axis movement, providing comprehensive workpiece accessibility. The integrated control system, combined with simultaneous multi-tool engagement capabilities, allows for complete part production in a single setup, dramatically reducing cycle times and improving overall production efficiency for high-precision applications in medical, aerospace, automotive, and component manufacturing industries.
