HIGHER PERFORMANCE WITH A BRAND YOU TRUST

Epoxy Granite Frame (made in the USA): Epoxy granite frames have 10x the damping of cast iron, resulting in better surface finishes and 30% longer tool life.

4HP, 10K RPM Spindle (Max 6HP): Power at the right RPM range to leverage modern, highly efficient, high speed tool paths.

1200 IPM X/Y & 600 IPM Z: Rapid and cut at up to 1200 IPM keeps up with advanced, constant-engagement tool paths.

Thru-Spindle Coolant Ready: Every 1500MX comes ready for TSC if you choose to add it later. TSC is 7x faster for drilling holes, results in smoother finishes, helps make more consistent parts, and extends tool life.

Servo Motors with Absolute Encoders: 23 bit absolute position encoders with battery backup. The 1500MX’s servos mean you never have to reference the machine, even between power cycles.

#MADEWITHTORMACH

"What we are most excited about with the 1500MX mill is the tool changer with the BT30 high-quality spindle. We have already seen cycle times shorten and combined with the rapids, it has shaved significant time off of parts. The extra coolant flushing of the chips has also saved us a few hours of cleanup already. And our employees have noted how nice it is to not have to re-reference and touch tools and datum points off each morning which saves even more time each day. <br /><br />I expect the 1500MX to take over a large percentage of the millwork we have, leaving our 1100M for more onesie twosie orders and prototype parts. I am sure as time goes by we will add more to this list. We are absolutely loving this machine!"

Larry Britzman, Owner, Britzman Enterprises LLC

"We are most excited about the speed, power, and automation the 1500MX brings to both our prototyping and production abilities. It is exciting to see how quickly it can create the parts we designed. And it feels powerful being able to send the program to the machine, hit go, and watch it make what we need without needing to assist it in any way."

Keegan Karl, Vice President at DarkAero Inc.

HOW TO READ A SPINDLE MOTOR TORQUE, POWER, AND DURATION CHART

Optimizing your machining processes is essential for achieving the best performance from your equipment. Among the various factors that contribute to this optimization is understanding how to read and use a spindle motor torque, power, and duration chart.

This guide will help you navigate these charts, ensuring you make informed decisions for your machining operations.

CAPABLE YET AFFORDABLE

The 1500MX represents a significant leap forward in Tormach’s CNC mill technology. Servo- driven axes and spindle motor, motion on linear rails along with a frame constructed from epoxy granite mean higher precision, smoother operation, and enhanced durability.

Additionally, Tormach allows users to add accessories over time so that the machine can grow with your business. Buy what you can afford today and add things like thru-spindle coolant or a 4th axis when you need them.

Machining Industry Reacts to the Tormach 1500MX CNC Mill

"The 1500MX offers a host of features designed to enhance machining efficiency 
and precision. Crafted with an epoxy granite frame made in the U.S., this machine 
reportedly enables 10 times the damping of cast iron, providing chatter-free 
cuts, superior surface finishes and 30% longer tool life." 

"Tormach, a US-based manufacturer of CNC machines and industrial robotics, introduces its latest innovation: the Tormach 1500MX CNC Mill. Representing the apex of Tormach’s engineering prowess, the 1500MX marks a significant leap forward in power, precision, and affordability within their CNC machining portfolio”

"The 1500MX comes with a Made in the USA Epoxy Granite frame. This is a major departure from the earlier machines which were all cast iron, but it's a departure for the better. Epoxy Granite has 10X the damping of cast iron. It’s a quality that makes it the ideal choice on many high-end machines such as Datron’s machines." 

"The Tormach 1500MX has been a game-changer for DarkAero as the new machine’s capabilities have drastically improved workflow, especially in terms of production readiness and precision."
