CNC Machine Tools to be Demonstrated at WMTS



Morris Midwest will return to the Wisconsin Manufacturing Technology Show (WMTS), the Midwest's largest manufacturing event, at the Wisconsin State Park Exposition Center in Milwaukee on October 8-10, 2013. The Wisconsin-based regional CNC machine tool distributor, will display Okuma, Tsugami, Hardinge and Bridgeport machines with live cutting demonstrations in a 2,400 square-foot booth.

According to John Murphy, President of Morris Midwest, its display of technology will run the gamut from horizontal lathes to vertical machining centers to multifunction machines for the precision machining of both large and small parts. "Our customers include small job shops, large OEMs and tier one suppliers from virtually every segment of the industry. We are bringing in a top-notch selection of equipment suited for diverse customer needs."

On display will be several multifunction lathes from Okuma. "The affordably-priced Okuma Genos L400 is an entry-level multifunction machine, but is a solid performer in almost any setting," said Murphy. It will be joined by the Okuma LB3000 EX 2-axis horizontal lathe that offers an array of 66 options that can give it the characteristics of a multifunction lathe. The show model, the LB3000 EX BBMYW, will demonstrate added milling (M), sub-spindle (W) and Y-axis capabilities. At the upper end of Okuma's multifunction machines is the Okuma Multus Series, represented by the Multus B300BB/SB-II.

"Also on display from Okuma will be the Genos M560-V VMC which has drawn crowds at other industry events with its high metal removal cutting demonstrations. The Okuma 2SP-V60 twin-spindle, 4-axis vertical lathe is a highly flexible, high precision, heavy-duty selection for manufacturers of large diameter workpieces, such as brake drums and rotors, hubs and gears," said Murphy.

"Tsugami's B0326-II and SS20M-5AX should be of special interest to small parts manufacturers," said Murphy. "The new Tsugami SS20M-5AX multifunction lathe is designed for precision machining of parts 20 mm and smaller in size. It has 5-axis simultaneous control, vertical machining capabilities and continuous B-axis movement."

Rounding out Morris Midwest's technology display will be two horizontal lathes from the Hardinge GS Series-the GS-51 and GS-250-and the small-footprint, 20 horsepower, Bridgeport GX300 vertical machining center which delivers up to 99 foot-pounds of torque.

"Our application engineering, parts, service and productivity team members will be staffing our booth alongside our sales engineers," said Murphy.
