CNC Rotary Transfer Machine Offers AI-Learning, Chipbreaking

Hydromat’s Force CNC Rotary Transfer Machine features a ball-screw electromechanical system that offers modularity with options for 1- through 4-axis configurations, providing drilling, tapping, threading, thread milling, single-point threading, profiling and milling capabilities.

The transfer machine utilizes up to 12 or 16 horizontal machining stations and 6 or 8 vertical machining stations, with a maximum spindle speed of 8,500 rpm for mill/drill units and 5,000 rpm for lathe turning. The machine is designed, engineered and assembled by Hydromat OEM experts and FANUC authorized integrators to ensure the highest level of quality and reliability.

The machine comes equipped with Force 50/150 tool spindle units, which are FANUC-controlled and offer advanced technology for AI-learning and chipbreaking functions. The units are standard with a C-axis servo motor for tapping or single-point turning compatibility, as well as direct-coupled motor/ballscrew for Y and Z axis.

The Force CNC Rotary Transfer Machine is equipped with a FANUC 30i Model B Control, which offers an intuitive and easy-to-use interface that caters to both programmers and on-site operators, the company says. The control features a high-speed processing capability, enabling faster cycle times and improved productivity. It also has advanced diagnostic and maintenance features, enabling easy troubleshooting and maintenance.

Hydromat is part of the FANUC America Authorized CNC System Integrator (ACSI) Network. Its team collaborates closely with FANUC to ensure that it possesses the necessary technical expertise and product knowledge to provide the best solutions that meet customers’ needs and exceed their expectations.

“We are excited to introduce the Force CNC Rotary Transfer Machine to our customers,”said Matthias Walter, Hydromat president. “This new addition to our product line represents our continued commitment to providing innovative, high-quality machining solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. We believe that the Force will be a game-changer for many of our customers.”
