What is the air requirement for a Milltronics machine?
Most Milltronics machine requires an air supply of at least 90 psi at 20 cubic feet per minute. Many ML lathes without a spindle gearbox, live tooling turret or collet closer do not have any requirement for air. Contact the

Where can I find my serial number and model information?
Please refer to the serial number plate typically located on the electrical cabinet door. This plate contains your model, series, serial number, manufacture date, voltage and amp requirements and more.
How are the date codes from the serial plate interpreted?
The date code on the serial number plate shows the year and the week in that year that the machine was built. A three digit date code is typically found on machines built in the 1990’s while a four digit date code represents machines built after December 31
st, 1999.
Example: Date code ‘643’ means the machine was built the 43rd week (late October) of 1996. Date code ‘0315’ means the machine was built the 15th week (mid-April) of 2003.
