Travelling column VMC has dual-pallet indexing
Vertical machining centre with a travelling column design and integrated rotary dual-pallet indexing system provides higher levels of productivity and output and efficient workpiece loading/unloading.
In doing sop, it offers the following advantages: * The machine grinds the outer/inner diameters and tracks in one clamping, so improves final quality.
* The slide-mounted workhead picks up and deposits workpieces from and onto a conveyor.
* The workpiece is automatically indexed for ball tracks machining.
* The workpiece is continuously rotated for the machining of the spherical inner diameter.
* Machine slides are completely isolated from the working area, so that guideways, motors, lubrication, hydraulic and pneumatic units never come into contact with chips or coolant.
The machine is designed to operate with: * superabrasives or CBN wheels; * toolholders suitable for hard-turning using CBN tooling and * high frequency spindles for hard-milling using CBN tooling.
