Marples Gears has recently purchased a new  CNC lathe and milling center, among other items.  A new Daewoo 2000SY  6 axis CNC turning center with live milling arrived recently.  The machine is identical to our very first Daewoo 2000SY lathe, but 1 year newer.  It has a 20 hp main spindle with 2 5/8 diameter capacity thru the spindle, and a 10 hp fully programmable sub spindle.  The 2000SY sports a 12 station, live milling turret, with a 7 hp, 5000 rpm live milling motor.  The machine has 2 C axis, one on each spindle, and a +/- 2 inch Y axis on the turret, making off center machining possible.  The machine was also equipped with a polygon turning, and cylindrical interpolation software options from FANUC, making gear machining on the machine possible with our special Italian made gear hobbing attachment.

          Our other new addition is a Daewoo 3016L milling center.  It is a 3 axis vertical mill, which will offload work from our 4 axis machine, opening up more time for 4 axis work on that machine.  is has a 15 hp 8000 rpm spindle, and an arm type tool changer for very quick tool changes.  The 1300 pound max load table is large enough that we can fit (3) 6 inch steel vises on the table at all times with plenty of room to spare.

         Marples gears has also recently bought a large Sonic Systems Ultrasonic Parts Cleaning machine, equipped with a large 12 transducer wash bath, 2 rinse, and a dryer.
