End-workers can include three-axis MC modules
A designer and builder of end-working machines produces types from simple, sequentially-conrolled arrangements to complex systems employing three-axis machining centre modules.
Managing an island with 100s of shafts
To machine hundreds of shafts quicker, an NC 'island' completes in one cycle by using an end- working machine to carry out the first machining operations and so speed up subsequent operations.
The CM102-T12 is equipped with two opposed units; each one of them includes one spindle with nose ISO40, supplied from the 12 seats tool changer, and it is moved on the longitudinal (Z) and transversal (X) NC axis.
The bed is manufactured of a thick section heavy duty steel plate, electro-welded and normalized, and above it are fixed the two guideways.
The steel bed has been expressively designed with internal evacuation chutes in order to convey the chips towards the integrated conveyor.
Hydraulically clamped self-centering jaws are mounted on the same guideways where the saddles are positioned and moved, they allow the clamping of a wide diameter variety of workpieces without changing the vice-jaws.
The longitudinal positioning of the jaws is obtained thanks to the hooking to the working units and to the displacement in manual mode.
The machine is provided with a full metal sheet enclosure guarding and with sliding doors equipped with emergency micro switch.
It is also pre-arranged for connection to a Robot or to other types of automation conceived for the loading/unloading of workpieces.
