The T12 – A compact spindle moulder with premium features

Does ‘compact class’ mean you have to sacrifice performance and user comfort in favour of affordability? Not with our T12. Even the basic model of this MARTIN compact spindle moulder offers a broad range of optional features and a modern control system that are unique in this price class. Whether for small workshops or for industrial applications, as an entry-level model or an efficient addition to a machining centre.

The control technology of the new T12 compact spindle moulder is like that on all other MARTIN machines: highly functional and easy to operate. The modern Touch-Screen control system is positioned ergonomically at eye-level and helps to reduce set-up times markedly. So the operator can, for example, comfortably adjust the cutting height via the touch-sensitive screen. Additional optional accessories can be added so that the ‘cutting depth (stop)’ and the ‘cut (infeed jaw)’ axes can be integrated into the controls as well, making the T12 a 3-axis spindle moulder.

Small but powerful
The mechanical elements of the T12 are of very high quality and designed for durability. And even though the T12 seems to be quite small and light, the machine frame is a heavy compact compound construction. With a total weight of 950 kilos,
it offers the best possible foundation for every job.

Compact, correct, comfortable
With such a comprehensive array of features even in the basic version, the T12 is the ideal entry-level machine with premium qualities. Plus the many additional optional accessories can make the T12 a spindle moulder for the most demanding requirements – to mention just one of the many options, the ability to attain a continuous speed of 1,000 up to 12,000 revolutions/min. The basic version comes with the tried-and-tested original MARTIN DornFix system but it can also be equipped with the HSK tool-free clamping system. Along with the HSK 85 "PowerLock" the HSK 63F can also be added, thus making the T12 the ideal addition to a CNC machining centre.

The most outstanding feature of the T12’s fence is the sophisticated bilateral guidance system which allows a uniquely high degree of precision for a compact-class machine – it is capable of a repetition accuracy of ± 0.025 mm. For special moulding jobs, e.g. for curved mouldings, the fence can be removed very quickly and easily and then be remounted just as easily. Robust but very exact mechanical fittings make time-consuming re-adjustments unnecessary.

Touch-Screen control system
Even the basic version of the T12 comes equipped with our modern Touch-Screen control system. Its touch-sensitive screen and self-explanatory symbols makes this system easy to use – especially for inexperienced operators. Together with the easy to understand menu structure, this makes for reduced set-up times and guarantees first-class results. A powerful database allows you to input and save data for as many as 500 tools and 100 program settings. And alphanumerical sorting makes selecting the right tool or program even easier.

Compound frame
Even though the new T12 looks quite slim and light, it actually weighs a solid 950 kilos and proves its merits with exceptional stability, thanks to the machine’s sturdy compound frame. With an intelligent combination of steel and concrete, the result is a heavy, robust and above all vibration-absorbing frame that forms the perfect basis for the heavy cast-iron table top and the superbly mounted cutting spindle – and all this brings you first-class results.

HSK
The basic version of the machine is equipped with MARTIN’s tried-and-true original DornFix quick-change system, but the HSK tool-free clamping system option is also available. With the HSK interface the new T12 becomes an ideal addition to a CNC machining centre. Along with the HSK 85 ‘PowerLock’ there is also the HSK 63F, both of which can be added on to the machine at any time. With the help of this technology, the user can use the very same tools on the spindle moulder that a machining centre uses, thereby reducing the cost-intensive processing time of such centres by ‘outsourcing’ certain moulding jobs to the T12.

Fence
The T12’s fence, originally developed for the premium class, offers a sophisticated bilateral guidance system which allows a repetition accuracy of ± 0.025 mm that is unique among compact-class machines. With precision like this, in cutting height as well, even counter work can be produced very easily and accurately. In the basic version of the T12, the fence is adjusted by a handwheel according to a digital display in the control panel. A motorized version which does everything completely electronically is also available. If the fence has to be removed from the table, e.g. for curved mouldings, the robust mechanical fittings make time-consuming re-adjustments unnecessary.
