Each jaw is independently controlled and monitored by an individual electromechanical drive, which enables many clamping functions — all within one fully automated chuck.
Clamping method enables cutting inserts to be held in place with more force, which, in turn, makes the entire system more rigid and results in higher repeatability.
It enables users to maximize throughput by significantly reducing setup time, scrap and other nonproductive operations, thereby increasing efficiency, productivity and profitability.
When used in conjunction with in-process measuring systems, the closed-loop boring system can automatically compensate for cutting edge wear, resulting in less scrap, improved accuracy and considerable time savings.
Live discussion on Dec. 18 focuses on MetalQuest’s decision to diversify by adding its first CNC multi-spindle machine for greatly reduced cycle times on an existing high-volume job.
Machine tool builders can virtually map entire development processes to significantly reduce product development phase and time-to-market for new machines.
