Updated, More Powerful CNC Milling Machine

Tormach announced it had launched a new version of its 770MX CNC mill January 23. In a release, the CNC and automation manufacturer said the latest 770MX CNC mill improved on previous versions in terms of power, faster motion, faster feed rates and reduced cycle times. The device also includes an EtherCAT-compatible servo motion system and a control platform for the spindle and axes. The spindle can provide 2hp of continuous power and 4.5hp peak intermittent power.

Despite the upgrades, the new model features the same size as previous versions, with a working envelope of 14 inches X by 7.5 inches Y and 13.25 inches Z. Feed rates for the new mill can reach 450 IPM in the X and Y axes and 420 IPM in the Z.

Usability additions to the 770MX include a 21.5 inch touchscreen operator console, built-in load meters for the spindle and axes, an integrated air gun on the front of the enclosure, an included door latch, improved side-loading windows and mounting locations for tool holder racks.

In a statement, Tormach COO Brennan Williams said the new mill represents the company’s commitment to continuous improvement.

“At Tormach, continuous improvement isn’t a buzzword – it’s how we build machines. Because we’re 100% employee-owned, we’re always looking for ways to deliver more value, more capability and more confidence for machinists at every level,” Williams said. “This latest generation of the 770MX reflects that commitment. It’s the next evolution of a platform customers already love, now with meaningful upgrades…all without increasing the price tag.”

Tormach said the 770MX is available assembled in-house with an automatic tool changer and flood coolant system, and another version that ships in parts and is assembled on-site.
