MAPLE ME-SERIES – THE ULTIMATE ALL-ROUNDER
While every day presents different challenges, the Maple ME-Series has what it takes to tackle just about anything. Its super wide base design provides great balance providing a platform capable of supporting up to 2000 kg. With high-end servo motors that are directly connected to the ball screw no power is lost during transmission.
Featuring an innovative design combined with cutting-edge technologies make the ME-Series ideal for mould production and parts production. The machine has a clever solution for whatever challenge comes its way.
The ME-Series was designed with the most advanced FEM analysis software on the market. Maple consistently tests its design under many different stress conditions to perfectly satisfy customers’ requirements.
The advanced design of Maple’s spindles provides high axial- thrust capability, yet generates minimal heat. The spindle uses front and rear pre-load angular bearings with large spacer to enhance radial stability enabling heavy cuts on steel. To ensure long life of the spindle, high temperature grease is used to guarantee smooth operation of the spindle regardless of temperature.
Without a perfect tool changer the machine cannot operate at its fully automatic potential. Therefore, the ME-Series uses the most high quality tool changer available. With a 1.8 second tool change time it is one of the fastest performing tool changers in the world.

TAKISAWA MX-800 SERIES
Equipped with twin turrets and twin spindles this is a multi-tasking fully intelligent turning-milling CNC lathe for complex machining.
Opposed left and right spindles and turrets allow independent machining by each spindle/turret system with interchange between the systems to reduce cycle times for highly complex machining, while the compact working area with twin machining stations is designed for flexibility and fast component transfer for highly cost effective machining. Full roller guideways allow higher speeds that shorten cycle times to enhance capability for mass production. Increased distance between linear guideways on each axis improves rigidity and stability for highly accurate machining, while the gantry loading option allows high speed mass production with minimal operator intervention.
An option to equip the MX-800 with a gantry loading system and parts conveyor radically shortens component handling times and coupled with the design of the twin turret/twin spindle system for the highest machining speeds, it provides the perfect solution for high-speed mass production.
