METHODS MACHINE TOOLS INC. claims to be redefining the vertical machine tool market with the MV-1000L, a three-axis CNC machine with more high-quality components and features than any other platform in its class.
The newly designed heavyweight machine tool is well-suited to any shop, with high-end features such as 19 hand-scraped surfaces, alpha-series FANUC motors, and a BIG-PLUS dual-contact spindle put the MV-1000L well ahead of the basic industry standards.
“The MV-1000L’s sturdy construction and premium components put it in a league of its own,” according to Methods Machining Center product manager Nick St. Cyr. “Weighing in at 15,432 lbs., the MV-1000L is a heavyweight contender designed to knock-out the most demanding machining challenges, giving users a high-end machine at an economical price.”
Powered by a 20 HP and 12,000 rotations per minute (RPM), 40-taper spindle, the MV-1000L is ready to tackle any job – whether it’s roughing engine blocks or finishing a medical implant: the MV-1000L provides maximum rigidity, speed, and reliability.
Other attributes of the MV-1000L include a FANUC 0i-MF Plus control with 200-block look-head and two megabytes of part program storage; macro B programming; remote manual pulse generator (MPG) for easier control and increased ease of use; and a comprehensive thermal compensation system.
