We have a 9 axis mill/turn machine manufactured by Nakamura Tome. It's their Super NTJ model. It is a "B-axis" upper turret that rotates 182' total (+/- 91') along with "Y, Z, X, and C". The lower turret has "C, Z, X, and B". The Fanuc 18I control can control 4 out of 5 axis on the main spindle, and 4 out of 4 axis on the sub spindle for a total of 8 out of 9 axis at one time. We use Esprit software to program this machine. Mill turn machines in general are very complex to program, and usually have a longer learning curve than a basic lathe or mill. They are however quite impressive when they are making complicated parts in one operation. That's what we bought it for. This machine completes one of our parts in a single operation that use to have 6 op's--2 turning and 4 milling op's.
