Tony Gunn of MTDCNC talks to Michael Keeling of YCM Alliance for a quick run through some fascinating technology, including Acieta automation cells, YCM turning centers, and twin-turret twin-spindle lathes to help customers improve cycle times and their return on investments.

MTDCNC’s Tony Gunn meets Keith Kauzlarich of YCM Alliance to understand more about the DX224DM and how it can improve machining by 90% with a reduced number of tools. Programmed by hypermill , the machine boasts a German-made Kessler head, HSK 100 spindle, 16000 RPM, and a table that can handle 18000 pounds to deliver longevity and the ability to do large parts in fewer operations.

Watch the video for a demonstration of the massive machine that can travel to every corner of its large table to hit every part of a mould, giving customers a much higher ROI. If you’re interested to know how EDM works, don’t miss Ethan’s unique explanation of the EDM process – a lightning storm on a microscopic scale!

Tony Gunn of MTDCNC and Keith Kauzlarich of YCM Alliance discuss the high-precision linear motor machine with an HSK-50 spindle, 36,000 RPM, and the ability to convert between graphite and steel cutting. Designed to be ultra-fast at 60 metres per minute, the machine provides superior dependability and precision with exceptional lead times, maximum output, and high-quality components.

Join Tony Gunn of MTDCNC and Mel Gay of YCM Alliance as they explore how YCM machines offer the best bang for your buck. These well-known Taiwanese machines are capable of tight tolerances, one-offs, multiple parts, and custom automation to help manufacturers compete on a global scale.

Tony Gunn of MTDCNC and Pavel Holik of TRIMILL, a.s. discuss the unique partially concrete design of the VFC 3021 built for heavy-duty machining. The box-in-box cross beam design offers additional rigidity and stability while a cast iron foundation makes it easy to mount on the shop floor!

The impressive TRIMILL VFC 3021 is a popular mid-sized machine that comes with a base to be installed on a flat floor. But TRIMILL also have some even bigger options available! 

MTDCNC’s Tony Gunn is with Pavel Holik of TRIMILL, a.s. to find out what makes these beautiful machines extremely rigid, stable, and durable for a service life of up to 25 years. 

MTDCNC’s Tony Gunn meets Jeff Ervay of YCM Alliance and Mark Cianciosa of Acieta LLC to understand the benefits and simplicity of a super-cool automated cell that customers can have up and running in as little as three days. 

With this automation setup on a YCM twin-spindle twin-turret machine, parts are coming off all day long with no need for human intervention. Watch the video to learn about reduced operator error on this money-making YCM machine and the benefits of Acieta’s automation, multitasking, and 24/7 service and support!
