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.
In addition, automated load / unload and tube wrapping systems are available.
The Bossi range is developed on the basis of modular system assemblies which can be configured to meet any customer requirement.
The principal system for metal flat surface finishing is the RSP range.
A customer system can be built up using a variety of units utilising wet or dry abrasive belt grinding and solid or liquid abrasive polishing mops.
Close control of the grinding and polishing process ensures constant pressure and speed to guarantee high productivity and consistent quality.
The RSP range is available in working widths of 150mm, 200mm, 300mm and 500mm.
Components are handled by a continuous roller system and the entire process is administered using programmable logic controllers, allowing the line to be supervised by one operator.
A tube wrapping machine is available to protect the polished surface of either square or rectangular section tubing.
As well as the RSP Series, transfer machines are available for polishing of irregular components such as door furniture or wall plates.
In addition, a Multipla bridge format polishing system may be supplied for superfinishing of large flat surfaces.
Round surfaces such as cylindrical tubing are handled by the BOSSI F1 Series and HO Series grinding / polishing system, and by the CPS and CP Series centreless systems.
For components requiring optimum longitudinal finish, BOSSI offers the Multipla Series for round stock applications.
On these machines the workpiece is clamped between tailstocks and polished by traversing the mops lengthways along the component.
A round section tube wrapping machine is also available.
BOSSI can thus supply a grinding / polishing solution for virtually any production situation.
