Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Willemin-Macodel. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

Turning and multi-axis milling from the same bar is what the Willemin-Macodel 408MT adds to its sister machine. Its A axis, the workholding axis with an A4 cone, runs at 6,000 min-1 in turning mode and at 200 min-1 in milling mode, and bar capacity is Ø36 mm.

The 408B has the same 250 mm, 200 mm and 310 mm of travel in X, Y and Z, the same spindle and the same control, but its table carries no turning-mode speed and its bar capacity is Ø40 mm. On the 408MT a round diameter can be cut with the bar spinning against a fixed tool, where an A axis limited to milling speed would have to interpolate the same feature with a rotating cutter.

On the milling side the spindle reaches 30,000 min-1 with an HSK-E40 taper and air-oil lubrication; the bracketed alternatives in the table are HSK-A40/CAPTO C4, 42,000 min-1 and grease. The B axis sits on a torque motor, moves between -15° and +100° at up to 250 min-1 and resolves 0.0001°. The magazine holds 48 tools (72 in brackets) and changes them in 0.8 sec, under 3 sec chip to chip. Turning tools and milling tools share that one magazine, so a part with many turned diameters fills pockets quickly, which is where the bracketed capacity matters.

Linear axes feed at up to 40 m/min. The 508MT2 is the step up: 400 mm of X, 385 mm of Z, 60 m/min, Ø42 mm bar and a floor area of 4 m² against the 3 m² of the 408MT. Thermal behaviour is handled by the integrated DTS dynamic thermal stabilization, and the control is a FANUC 31i-B5 PLUS iHMI Pro.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

A axis with a 6,000 min-1 turning mode as well as 200 min-1 for milling, so turned and milled features come off one machine
Same 250 mm, 200 mm and 310 mm travels as the 408B, with turning added
B-axis torque motor: -15° to +100° of movement, 250 min-1 maximum feed speed, 0.0001° resolution
Linear axes at up to 40 m/min with 0.0125 µm resolution
48 tools changed in 0.8 sec tool to tool, with 72 tools as the bracketed alternative

Limitations

Bar capacity is Ø36 mm, below the Ø40 mm of the 408B and the Ø42 mm of the 508MT2
X travel of 250 mm and Z of 310 mm, where the 508MT2 offers 400 mm and 385 mm
No spindle power, spindle torque or A-axis torque is stated in the table
The 42,000 min-1 speed, the 72-tool magazine and the HSK-A40/CAPTO C4 tapers appear only in brackets, as alternatives to the base figures

Best For

Turned and milled parts finished from Ø36 mm bar in one setup Small parts with turned diameters plus angled milled features Work needing fast tool changes, at 0.8 sec tool to tool Bar parts that fit 250 mm of X and 310 mm of Z

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Can the 408MT turn as well as mill?

Yes. The A axis is listed with two speeds: 6,000 min-1 in turning mode and 200 min-1 in milling mode. The milling spindle runs to 30,000 min-1 on an HSK-E40 taper, with 42,000 min-1 in brackets as the alternative.

02 How does the 408MT compare with the 408B?

The 408B takes Ø40 mm bar and its table lists the A axis at 200 min-1 in milling mode only. The 408MT takes Ø36 mm bar and has the 6,000 min-1 turning mode. Both tables give 250 mm, 200 mm and 310 mm of travel, the same spindle and tool figures and the same 1685 x 1795 x 2305 mm dimensions.

03 What is the next size up from the 408MT?

The 508MT2, which has 400 mm of X and 385 mm of Z travel on the same 200 mm of Y, linear axes at 60 m/min, Ø42 mm bar capacity and a floor area of 4 m². The 408MT has 250 mm of X, 310 mm of Z, 40 m/min and 3 m².

04 What control and thermal features does the 408MT have?

The control is a FANUC 31i-B5 PLUS iHMI Pro. DTS dynamic thermal stabilization is integrated, as is tool management. Linear axes resolve 0.0125 µm, the B axis 0.0001°, and spindle resolution is listed as ±0.02°.

05 How big is the 408MT?

1685 x 1795 x 2305 mm in width, depth and height, on a floor area of 3 m². The table gives no machine weight, so ask Willemin-Macodel for it before arranging transport and foundations.
