Specialising in the sub-contract machining of precision components, Valco UK in Essex has invested heavily in a subtle blend of CNC machine tools over the last three years.
This means it can be moved easily from machine to machine if workflows demand.
When machining is completed the precision-engineered servo drive assembly extends into the machining centre to tilt and engage with the pallet coupler in order to remove the pallet from the machining area.
The next pallet is then delivered into the machine, with the operator free to further optimise performance by programming the acceleration/deceleration of the pallet to suit the weight of the workpiece and its associated fixturing.
To ensure safe operation a keypad provides password protected access and, if required, the XYZ APC can be supplied with an optional three-sided safety enclosure that prevents pallet change if any one of the three doors is opened. Request a free brochure from XYZ Machine Tools ...
