2017 WILLEMIN W508MT VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2017 Willemin-Macodel W508MT is a 5-axis multi-tasking mill-turn center manufactured in Switzerland, designed for complete machining of medium-complexity small components combining turning, milling, drilling, and grinding operations in a single clamping. The W508MT accommodates bar stock up to 42 mm (1.65 inches) in diameter through its integrated turning spindle, which delivers 10.1 HP continuous power at up to 6,000 RPM. The high-speed milling spindle reaches 30,000 to 42,000 RPM depending on the tooling interface selected, enabling micro-milling and fine finishing alongside the turning capability. The machine provides 17.72 inches of X-axis travel, 7.87 inches of Y-axis travel, and 16.73 inches of Z-axis travel, with a B-axis milling head swivel range of minus 15 to plus 100 degrees and continuous A-axis turning spindle rotation. Fanuc 31i-B5 CNC control manages 5-axis simultaneous interpolation and turning-milling combined cycles. At approximately 5,500 to 6,600 pounds depending on configuration, with overall dimensions of approximately 124 by 104 by 102 inches, the W508MT is a compact and highly capable platform. This machine is suited to medical device, aerospace fastener, watchmaking, and precision instrument manufacturers requiring complete multi-process machining of small components at high productivity in a minimal shop footprint.
