MAZAK MULTIPLEX 6100Y CNC LATHE

Technical Description

This 3-axis CNC lathe delivers precision turning capabilities suitable for small-to-medium production runs and general machining applications. The 6-inch chuck accommodates bar stock up to 1.6 inches in diameter, while the 9-inch maximum turning diameter and swing specification enable efficient machining of cylindrical components without interference. With a maximum machining length of 40.5 inches, the machine handles moderately long workpieces, though effective length may vary depending on chuck configuration and tooling extension. The 15 HP spindle with 6,000 RPM maximum provides adequate power and speed for general turning, threading, and facing operations on steel and non-ferrous materials, though applications involving aggressive drilling, large-diameter hole work, or heavy casting/forging operations may benefit from higher horsepower. The integrated tailstock enhances workpiece support during extended turning operations, improving stability and surface finish quality. The MAZATROL FUSION CNC control system automates tool positioning and spindle control, eliminating manual handwheel operation and delivering the high precision and repeatability essential for production environments—typically achieving tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches. The 3-axis configuration enables X-axis radial movement for diameter control, Z-axis longitudinal positioning for length control, and rotational capability for complex operations. This machine suits job shops, contract manufacturers, and facilities requiring dependable performance for producing shafts, bushings, fittings, and symmetrical components with consistent quality across high-volume production runs.
