Lathe of dual-head and a high-production machining center
Universal CNC will present at the booth a lathe of dual-head of Takizawa and a Japanese Enshu horizontal machining center
Based on the successful model TT-200, Takizawa has developed new dual-head, the TT-160 lathe. This machine has two front plates of 165 mm. and two turrets of 10 positions for what is a little below, with regard to working capacity, the TT-200 with 210 mm plate
The two heads of the new TT-160, can go to a speed of 4,000 or 6,000 rpm. with a potecia of 7.5 kW. (10HP) in each head. The loading and unloading is done through a Gantry loader Double gripper that moves to 150 m/min in "X" and 120 m/min in "And".
Standard composition includes a feeder in parts of 14 pallets with capacity up to 450 mm in height, which allows a great lung of pieces. However the machine can be equipped for cases that require it, with two feeders and the gantry, as well as any other system of food you need. This machine allows to work two turntables with the same phase, or machined one-piece on both sides. The twist of piece is standard. All Takizawa models can go with motorized tools.
ENSHU JE-60S
Enshu is a Japanese manufacturer of machining centers, used especially in the automotive industry, which require the highest degree of competitiveness.
Its new JE-60S model is based on the previous JE-60.
This model has double pallets or multipalets of 500 x 500 mm. It is equipped with a storage of 60 tools, which can be expanded; the tools are cone BT-40, and optionally also cone HSK-A63.
It has integrated head, which turns up 13,000 rpm. On the other hand, this machine is ideal when you need to buy time, since Enshu has minimized to maximize non-productive times. For example: tool change time is 1 second; 2.8 seconds chip to chip, rapid movements of the 3 axes are 50 meters / minute with an acceleration of 0.7 G. To ensure that these movements do not undermine the accuracy of the machine, it takes their spindles ball cooled inside.
