Filter by Process Zone:
What is Possible with Deep Hole Drilling?
Deep hole gundrilling, BTA drilling, bottle boring and skiving/roller burnishing machines from UNISIG can make components for medical, aerospace, die and mold, automotive, oil and gas, energy, firearms and hydraulic cylinder applications, as well as the tools used to produce those components.
High Speed Horizontal Machining in a Compact Footprint
The Tongtai SH-5000P Horizontal Machining Center from Absolute Machine Tools can exceed the demands of any shop with high volume machining needs.
Ultra-Precision Machining for Stamping, Fine Blanking, Electric Motor Stator Die Tooling
The UP6 HEAT wire EDM with HyperDrive Extreme wire drive and wire threading system from Makino uses AC motor tensioning to expand the range and stability of wire tension, reduce maintenance, provide both Jet and Jet-less threading modes, and rethread the wire in the gap at a break point.
High Volume Gundrilling of Scroll Compressor Drive Shafts
The DeHoff 518 Cell from Kays Engineering uses nine gundrilling spindles to drill opposing holes in balanced throughput: three on a single machine base for the larger diameter shorter hole, and six others on two separate machine bases for the smaller diameter deeper hole.
Turning Centers for Heavy, Chatter-Free Cutting and Improved Part Finish
Ideal for jet engine builders machining hard aerospace alloys, the V 1600 mid-range vertical lathe from Fives Giddings & Lewis incorporates a hydrostatic ram to maximize rigidity and a programmable infinitely-adjustable cross rail positioning axis that allows shops to minimize ram extension.
Belt Conveyor Oven for Heat Treating Springs
The No. 831 oven from Grieve has a 12 in long open belt loading zone, 54 in long insulated heat zone with recirculated airflow, 12 in long open unloading zone and 10 in wide, 0.041 in high carbon steel woven wire conveyor belt with 1/40 hp motor variable speed drive.
5-Axis Laser System for Fine Cutting, Precision Welding and Additive Manufacturing
For job shops, automotive subcontractors, medical device manufacturers and others, the TruLaser Cell 3000 from TRUMPF provides cost efficient laser processing of small or medium-sized 2D or 3D parts with high quality results.
Automation Systems for Economic Small Batch Production
To automate high mix, low volume production operations, Fastems offers the FMS ONE fully configurable machine tool pallet system, Manufacturing Management Software with extended capabilities for controlling robotics, and the Halter Load Assistant compact loading robot cell.
Flexible Horizontal Machining for Small to Mid-Size Parts
The GE40H horizontal machining center from Enshu is perfect for secondary operations and die cast processing, with 19.7 in XYZ-axis travels and full 4th (B) axis that provide great flexibility for small to mid-size parts machining as a standalone machine or as multiples in lean line production.
Immediate High Productivity Machining of Diverse and Complex Shapes
Lynx 2100LY compact turning centers with Y-axis from Doosan come fully loaded with both static and live tool holders, a toolsetter, a parts catcher and a parts conveyor to make machining diverse and complex shapes up to 11.8 in diameter and 20 in long faster and easier with one set up.
Plug-and-Play Robotic Manufacturing Cells Increase Productivity, Lower Costs
Dual-spindle BA 222 or BA WO2-22 machining centers integrated with a 6-axis robot from SW North America provide high speed machining of complex parts made of non-magnetic materials, watchmaking components, automotive impellers and other precision engineering work.
Unmanned Horizontal Manufacturing Cell for Fast-Paced Machining of Complex Parts
Using a a 20-station APC with work ID system, Automatic Work Handling Robot and 174-tool matrix-style tool changer, the SUPERCELL-300G 5-axis horizontal flexible manufacturing cell from Kitamura Machinery is a space-saving production center that can run small to medium sized, highly complex parts completely unmanned.
