Renowned for their flexibility, precision, and productivity, the Mylas range of multi-axis turning centres from Dugard offers advanced solutions for small to medium-sized turned parts. Leading the portfolio is the MTY Series, featuring twin-spindle, twin turret, and triple channel turn/mill centres designed for significant productivity gains.

Since Dugard Machine Tools was named the UK distribution and technical partner for the Mylas range of multi-axis turning centres, the brand has gained noticeable traction. The Mylas range is recognized for its flexibility, precision, and productivity in the small to medium-sized turned parts sector.

At the top of the Mylas portfolio of multi-spindle multi-axis turn/mill portfolio is the new MTY Series of twin-spindle, twin turret, and triple channel turn/mill centres. Designed to create significant productivity gains, the Mylas MTY range from Dugard can be easily programmed to simultaneously engage three cutting tools on the workpiece through a range of configuration options. As a production centre, the MTY Series has a slant bed monoblock design that evacuates swarf at speed. Incorporated into this robust base are THK double screwnut ballscrews and THK ball guideways with 6-piece blocks, a combination that delivers exceptional stability and rigidity whilst providing the foundation for precise, repeatable heavy-duty machining.

The Mylas MTY is available in two models, the MTY 51 and the MTY 65 that offer 51 and 65 mm bar turning capacity. Within the two models are a series of configurations that can be specified to best meet the needs of the end user. The MTY 51A or 65A configuration offers a single Y-axis with two tools cutting in tandem, the B type machine offers a single Y-axis, tailstock and two tools in simultaneous cut whereas the MTY 51C and 65C type provides 2-tools on the part with double Y-axis. The MTY D is a double channel machine with a double Y-axis and tailstock and the MTY51E and 65E offer 3-tools in simultaneous cut with double Y-axis and tailstock. The high flexibility means that Dugard has a suitable solution for all turned parts — from the simple to the most complex.

Within these options, Mylas offers a 5,500 rpm main spindle on the MTY51 and 4,000 rpm on the MTY65 with a power rating of 7.5/11kW plus NN bearing type and roller bearings at the front and rear of the spindle to deliver cutting power directly to the cutting surface – resisting axial and radial forces. Complementing this on the sub-spindle is a powerful 6,000 rpm unit with 5.5/7.5 kW that sits alongside an optional tailstock with 100 mm travel to increase turning length up to 5XD.

To offer maximum flexibility, the two BMT55 tooling turrets each provide 16 tool stations with a maximum tool capacity of 64 positions and a powerful live tooling motor of 3.7/5.5kW that rotates up to 6,000 rpm with an incredible tool indexing time of just 0.16 seconds. Looking at the overall specifications of the Mylas MTY Series, the machines are provided with a 6 or 8-inch chuck and a maximum turning diameter of 180mm on the main and sub-spindle with a bar capacity limit on the sub-spindle of 42 mm. Where applicable to the individual configuration, machines have axis travel of 186.5, 175, 600, 600, 590 and +/-45mm in the X1, X2, X3, Z1, Z2, Z3, Y1 and Y2 axes with X-axis rapids of 24 m/min and 36 m/min in the Z-axis.

As standard, the new Mylas MTY Series is supplied with a BMT55 16-station turret in positions T1 and T2, fixed toolholder, high-pressure central cooler motor, part catcher, part and chip conveyor, chip cart, Fanuc 31i CNC, THK ballscrew and linear guideways, barfeed interface, air blower, auto lubrication, coolant system and hydraulic system.
