Pick-up spindle CNC developed for batch turning
Using machine modules from the established VSC vertical pick-up volume production turning machines, Emag has developed the VL variant for batch production.
The technology can be applied to small and large shafts, cam shafts and crankshafts as well as chucked components.
A simple integral loading device is used for workloading/unloading.
Special grinding cycles reduce grinding times by up to 50%, claims Emag.
Kopp will be showing a new 5-axis high performance grinding centre with a tool changer for complete grinding applications.
Folowing the co-operation between Emag and Hardinge, a second larger VL pick-up spindle turning machine, the Hardinge Emag VL 5, will be shown.
This machine, along with the existing VL 3, is a 'leaner' version of the production machines, has a smaller footprint and suits jobbing shop usage.
The VL series is being built at an Emag Hardinge joint venture plant in Leipzig, Germany.
