Indexers offer repeatability under heavy cuts
When Pacson came to evaluate rotary indexing units to enable valve bodies to be machined in a single cycle it should choose Kitagawa equipment; not just once, but twice!
Shown by Kitagawa at the recent UK MACH 2008 machine tool exhibition, the Elite 112 uses closed, calibrated, round section channels and high performance rotating tips to achieve fast and accurate operation.
In addition, the development of custom-engineered low inertia components allows precise synchronisation with all types of machine headstock, including those actuated by linear motors, said Kitagawa.
The Elite 112 holds 28 bars and makes bar changes in just 26s with 3.2m long stock.
Its material magazine also features a stepping action that ensures extremely reliable operation with small diameter raw material.
The unit's purpose-designed snap-in channels enable change-over times to be reduced to as little as 4 min, said Kitagawa.
A library of default settings - accessed through the Elite 112's control panel - means that no adjustments will normally be required during the equipment's long and productive service life.
