Twin pick-offs shorten multi-spindle cycles
Schuette has introduced a twin pick-off spindle concept, which will reduce cycle whenever the back-end machining operation is longer than front-end
Vertical, multi-spindle auto is flexible
The novel concept of the SV series of vertical chucking automatics, developed by Schutte, offers continuous flow turning and milling, yet is flexible.
As the drive power on the tool spindle is the decisive factor in achieving optimal machining results and governs the metal removal volume and the cycle time, the eight-spindle automatic features a drive concept that does justice to the demands for optimal machining results.
We distinguish between main drive, independent spindle drives and tool drives.
All tool and independent spindle drives can be electronically interlinked.
They can also be coupled with the linear slides to work as electronic axes with C-axis functions.
And another exceptional feature So far, it has been difficult to carry out extensive back-end machining operations on multi-spindle autos.
Schutte's CNC-controlled multi-spindle automatics make this a lot easier.
They are equipped with linear turrets in spindle positions 7 and 8, which accommodate up to 3 stationary or live tools and are therefore ideally suited to the machining of the rear section of a workpiece.
In conjunction with two CNC pick-off attachments mounted in adjoining spindle positions (7 and 8), even extensive rear-side machining work can now be executed at short cycle times.
