Tool Room Mill Product Feature: TRM3016 CNC Machining Center



"Milltronics has a long history of building tool room mills that can be run as manual, teach or full CNC. Popular in tool rooms, job shops and tool & die, these machines are very flexible and can be used for a wide variety of different parts," said a company spokesperson.

The TRM3016 is a tool room mill that offers large travels (30" x 16" x 20") along with speed and power. It features a table capacity of 35.4" x 16", an 8,000 RPM BIG-PLUS ISO No. 40 spindle and a 15 HP spindle motor. "A unique feature of the TRM Series is the drop-down door openings that allow long part pass-through to help accommodate oversize parts," said the spokesperson.

The TRM3016 is equipped with the 9000 Series control that features 120 GB disk storage, 4 GB memory, up to 10x better graphic performance, mid-travel tactile keys and a 15" LCD touchscreen. "The Windows-based platform offers all the user-friendly features that Milltronics customers are used to, such as the G-code visualization screen," said the spokesperson.

The spokesperson continued, "With easy programming, on-screen help, intuitive menus, color graphics and prompted tool settings, the Milltronics 9000 Series control helps new operators train faster and become more productive sooner. More advanced operators appreciate the following features that allow quick and confident operation of the CNC." These include:

  • Milltronics intertwines its graphics with the motion system so the operator sees exactly what the machine is going to do (not just a picture of the part).
  • Mid-program restart allows the operator to start anywhere in a program by verifying the graphics and then switching to Run Mode-no need for G&M code expertise.
  • The 9000 control features an Intel Dual Core i5 64 bit processor and high-speed motion control that can execute up to 3,000 blocks per second.
  • The Chip Boss Productivity feature of the Milltronics 9000 control uses proprietary algorithms to calculate toolpaths and control the maximum allowable cutter engagement, resulting in faster cycle times, better tool life and more accurate parts. It uses trochoidal milling strategies with deeper depths of cut and smaller step overs and includes Rest Roughing-saving even more time because Chip Boss automatically calculates the areas to be machined and uses a smaller cutter to get just those areas that cannot be cut with a larger tool.
  • Milltronics Shop View (MSV) is a productivity feature that allows users to access machine status and collect usage and diagnostic data per Industry 4.0. MSV is hosted in the Cloud and can be accessed with a PC, tablet or smartphone.
  • The Bi-Direction Conversational Turning Cycle is another productivity feature. "It improves productivity by up to 60%, increases tool life, improves surface finish, turning speed and efficiency while taking advantage of the latest insert technology," said the spokesperson.
