Making full use of opposed spindle turning centres
The machining performance of an opposed spindle
turning centre can only be exploited to the full through
perfect automation of loading and unloading. A synergy
achieved in three functional areas:
1. Quick reloading of the workpiece bars by
the high-performance multi-channel loading magazine PROFImat for practically non-stop operation. The standard loading magazine allows turning from 3, 4 or 6 m long bars.
The loading magazine can be integrated fully in the kine-
matics of the moving spindle.
2. Quick switching of the directly available 8 (6)
guiding channels at the touch of a button. The guide
channels can also be fitted out for other (individual)
diameters. The workpiece bars are kept centred in
the closed PROFImat guiding channel hydrodynamically.
3. Perfect unloading by the automatic unloading
system ILS-REX. This system reaches through the draw
tube of the opposed spindle and grips the finished work-
piece directly. Various unloading devices and individual
solutions are available for careful part removal.
This gripping of the workpieces is integrated in the process, thereby practically eliminating non-productive times.
