Turning SPM

Features & Specs:

• A twin station concept – one station to bore and face the front end of the job, the other to bore and face the rear end of the job.
• Each station has 2 sets of compound slides with servo driven cross and longitudinal axes. One set of compound slide does facing while the other will be used to bore.
• Both the facing and boring slides will work simultaneously to reduce the cycle time.
• Slides made of male, heavy duty, extra rigid, case hardened guideway strips and female turcite lining.
• Many innovative design features for reducing the cost, without diluting the stock removal capabilities within the specified time.

• Manually load cast job onto left hand chuck & on the auto-cycle button.
• Job gets clamped automatically & head stock starts rotating
• Machining of the face & ID of the front end of the job takes place.
• While machining on LH station is going on, operator loads an ID machined job on RH station.
• On the auto-cycle button & rear side machining of the job takes place in the RH station.

Every 75 seconds, one rough turned component is achieved.

• The customer is now getting a rough turned component at the rate of 1 piece/75 seconds, compared to the earlier 1 piece/10 minutes. i.e. a cycle time reduction of 87.5%
• A comparatively less accurate, highly affordable, Stock Turning CNC SPM is expected to result in elimination of 8 high end, accurate, expensive CNC turning centers, which are hitherto used for rough turning operations.
• Reduction in man power – 8 CNC operators along with 8 turning centers are now available for more gainful work.
• Increased output.
• After rough turning in our machine, finish turning is carried out on CNC tuning centers, thereby cutting down the whole cycle time from 1 piece/12 minutes to 1 piece/3.25 minutes. i.e. a cycle time reduction of around 73%.
