“There are many machines that need to be replaced due to aging, but we want to reduce the number of machines to be reinvested while maintaining the current production volume."
We verified the reduced cycle time through trial cutting, and also realized short- cycle high-speed transfer by using our Twin Gantry Loader!
pecifically, we analyzed and verified the conventional machining program in cooperation with the customer.
As a result, we reduced both cutting time and non-cutting time while satisfying the accuracy requirements, and finally optimized the machining program.
For example, our twin-spindle turning center MW100Ⅱ equipped with the twin gantry loader can achieve a high-speed transfer cycle of as fast as 12 seconds (including loading and unloading time of about 6 seconds).
Therefore, if the cycle time is 12 seconds or longer (including about 6 seconds for loading and unloading), the machining cycle can be performed very efficiently without machining waiting for the loader.
The customer becomes able to save the number of invested machines without changing the production volume, resulting in savings of both investment cost and installation space.
In addition, through this kind of automation, the man-hours for the production line were greatly reduced.
Also, the reduction in the number of invested machines has made maintenance much easier.
The product in the case study introduced here is the Twin Spindle CNC Chucker ”MW100Ⅱ”
