Tajmac-USA has introduced the Mori-Say 620TM CNC, the company’s next evolution of the traditional six-spindle cam machine, which is said to provide the power and speed of a cam machine with the versatility of CNC controls.

The industry is facing a major shift with experienced operators retiring and new operators seeing our industry as dark, dirty and dangerous. This new machine helps bridge the gap between the old and new worlds of machining, enabling performers who grew up with a smart device in their hand to interface with cam technology in a new way.

The 620TM CNC reduces setup times dramatically, allowing operators to focus on high-value tasks. Operators can do what only they can do while the machines complete repetitive tasks. Combining CNC and cam reliability provides ease of use with modern controls. No longer do you have to retool an entire job to make a change. Redesign the cam with a few keystrokes introducing rapid improvements to the process.

As companies start to make the shift from cam to CNC, the Mori-Say TM620CNC makes that change more seamless than ever, providing cam quality, efficiency and stability. The machine also features Industry 4.0 support, future proofing the platform for years to come.
