System proves more versatile than pallet shuttles
With experience of radial and shuttle layouts, Plenty was seeking a more compact and versatile system. A Fastems DMC-MD medium duty pallet handling installation provided the answer.
The spindle head provides a speed range up to 12,000 rev/min, or optionally 20,000 rev/min.
Fast traverse rates are 42m/min.
Reliability and robustness, combined with precision, are the main features of the Mori Seiki SVL5020 long-bed machining centre.

High speed machining centre reduces downtime
Capable of machining workpieces up to 2000kg the Pollard Mori Seiki SH8000 horizontal machining centre offers faster traverses and tool-changing times and shorter pallet changeover cycles.
Ideal for the machining of ribs, struts and panels in aluminium for aerospace use, the machine has plenty of power for machining ferrous items too.
These can include automotive axle beams, beams and columns for off-highway earth-movers and many more applications.
Equally, the batch production of more cubic items can be carried out on an efficient 'pendulum' loading basis.
The SVL5020's long table can be partitioned, so that the operator can load/unload on one side while machining takes place on the other.
Mori Seiki has built extra rigidity its SVL5020 design to make the most efficient deployment of the high speed spindle option - up to 20,000 rev/min - and the use of higher feedrate range of 1 - 42,000mm/min.
Three longitudinal linear roller bearing ways support the rigid travelling column carriage.
The column carries the vertical spindle head which features a directly driven motor spindle of 22/18.5kW.
The column rides on a substantial carriage which provides 2300mm of X-axis traverse and 510mm of Y-axis movement.
The spindle head has a travel of 510mm (Z-axis).
Tool magazine capacity is for 30 BT-40 shank tools of up to 300mm length and 80mm diameter (with tools in adjacent pockets).
Tool change time is 0.9sec tool-to-tool and 6.5sec cut-to-cut.
The simultaneous three-axis CNC is the Mori Seiki MSG 805 equipped with the latest MAPPS advanced programming system.
It has a capacity for storing 200 programs and is fitted with a RS-232-C input/output port.
MAPPS offers conversational and automatic programming, program simulation, tool registration, optional networking and other features.
The SVL5020 offers plenty of versatility for the sub-contract machine shop and OEM machining department alike.
It can cope with long components as well as being arranged for 'pendulum' machine loading of smaller parts. Request a free brochure from Mori Seiki UK ...
