Overview

Five spindles, not six or eight: the MORI-SAY TMZ518CNC PENTA is the odd one out among Tajmac-ZPS's CNC multi-spindle automatics. It is a five-spindle CNC bar machine with 8,000 rpm spindles and a 0.4 sec drum indexing time, sold as what the maker calls a CNC island: lathe, barloader, oil treatment system, chiller and chip conveyor delivered as one system from one supplier.

Two configurations exist. The TM version has up to 24 controlled axes and synchronous spindles. The TMZ version, the one named on this page, has 30 driven axes and independent spindle speeds, which lets each station run at the speed its operation wants. The brochure quotes a minimum cycle time of 3.6 sec and a spindle power of 3.7 kW.

Every station is a small CNC slide set, and the strokes differ by position. Stations 1 and 3 have X 70 mm and Z 130 mm. Stations 2 and 4 add a real Y axis of 125 mm, which the maker says allows complex machining through 4 axes kinematic. Station 5 has Y 135 mm, X 75 mm and Z 95 mm, and its Y slide can carry a cutting tool that moves in Z for cut-off. End slides stroke 250 mm. Tooling is VDI quick-change: VDI 20 on the XYZ stations, VDI 25 on the XZ stations and end slides. Live tools reach 6,000 rpm, or 24,000 rpm with a special VDI live tool.

The maker's brochure is thin on bar data. It gives 25 mm as the maximum bar diameter with the pull system, so ask Tajmac-ZPS for the capacity with the collet system you intend to use. With a 4 m barloader the system is 8,351 mm long, 1,820 mm wide and 2,329 mm high, or 2,200 mm wide including bar loader and accessories.

Best For

High-volume small bar parts with cycle times down to 3.6 sec Parts needing off-centre milling or drilling at the Y-axis stations Jobs where each spindle should run at its own speed Buyers who want lathe, barloader and coolant systems from a single supplier

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the difference between the TM and TMZ versions?

Spindle drive and axis count. The maker's product page lists TM with 24 driven axes and synchronous spindle speed, and TMZ with 30 driven axes and independent spindle speeds. The brochure states a spindle power of 3.7 kW.

02 How many spindles does the MORI-SAY TMZ518CNC PENTA have?

Five. The maker calls it a five spindle CNC automatic lathe, with 5 frontal slides and 5 compound slides. The spindles run at up to 8,000 rpm and the drum indexes in 0.4 sec, for a minimum cycle time of 3.6 sec.

03 Which stations have a Y axis?

Stations 2 and 4 have a Y stroke of 125 mm together with X 70 mm and Z of 130 mm (position 2) or 165 mm (position 4). Station 5 has Y 135 mm, X 75 mm and Z 95 mm. Stations 1 and 3 are X and Z only, with 70 mm and 130 mm. The XYZ stations take VDI 20 tooling.

04 What does the PENTA system include?

The maker describes a CNC island composed of the multi-spindle lathe, barloader, oil treatment system, chiller and chip conveyor, with the electrical cabinet integrated into the machine to shorten installation. Machined parts and bar remains are collected in two different containers.

05 How much floor space does it need?

With a 4 m barloader the system is 8,351 mm (328.8 in) long, 1,820 mm (71.7 in) wide and 2,329 mm (91.7 in) high. Total width with bar loader and accessories is 2,200 mm (86.6 in).
