High speed M-C cuts light alloys and plastics
The new Prestige machining centre for complex machining tasks in light alloys and plastics, manufactured by the Italian company, FOM Industrie, has been introduced to the UK.
Turning and parting-off heavy tube and pipe
A new range of large capacity, CNC turning and part-off equipment for tube up to 8in diameter has been introduced to the UK by Rivers Machinery under a sole agency agreement.
Diameter of the tungsten carbide tipped saw blade is 550 mm, larger than on previous models in the range.
It is driven by a three-phase, 3 HP motor at a constant 2,800 rpm.
Pure oil blade lubrication is provided on the electronically controlled model (which also has a piece counting facility) whilst spray mist lubrication is standard on the others.
An air hose is standard; chip collection and smoke extraction equipment can be supplied on request.
Capacity when cutting at 90 degrees on all models is, for example, 250 mm by 190 mm.
Mitering at 45 degrees on the tilting head machines allows stock of, say, 200 mm by 170 mm to be sawn whilst at 20 degrees, 120 mm square capacity would be typical.
All dimensions are proportionately larger in X if smaller in Y and vice versa.
FOM machines extend from manual pull-down and up-stroking saws through semi-automatic versions to fully-automatic cut-off machines for cut lengths up to 600mm, with the option of single or double mitering.
