Mazak reports strong machine tool sales in 2021
The economic rebound from COVID lockdowns enabled Yamazaki Mazak to record a strong year for machine sales in 2021, including a record month in late autumn.
A compact winner from Spinner!
A new, vertical-spindle machining centre has been introduced by Spinner, which despite having a generous working envelope of 1,650 x 820 x 820mm, occupies a relatively small footprint on the shopfloor of 3,550 x 2,750mm.
Its compactness is a result of employing a novel method for protecting the 1,800 x 820mm table’s X and Y axis guideways from swarf and coolant ingress using a single wiper system and without recourse to telescopic covers.
Designated VC1650, the 3-axis machine joins the smaller VC1150 model with 1,150 x 620 x 600mm travels introduced two years ago. Both machines are available in the UK and Ireland through sole sales and service agent, Whitehouse Machine Tools, Kenilworth.
