Story added 29 January 2010.

Spanish built Unamuno Optima range of multi axis CNC turning centres are now available in the UK exclusively through Leader CNC of Nuneaton. The company has already sold its first machine, a Unamuno Optima 36 simultaneous multi-tool turning centre.

The Unamuno CNC machine tool range has clear technical advantages over the more conventional multi axis CNC turning centres. With 6 axes and 22 tool positions the CNC machine includes 8 positions on the 3-axis upper slide and a 2-axis gang slide with up to 14 tools. The Optima permits seven tools to be used on the main spindle with another seven on the sub-spindle.

The Optima machine is available with optional indexing and power tooling on the gang and upper slides for complex component manufacture. Users are able to divide operations between the main and sub-spindles and overlap up to 3 operations simultaneously using axis super-imposition. With customers now capable of simultaneous milling and drilling processes, productivity is significantly improved.
