Harrison ALPHA Plus “S”

System of turning: until 80% of reduction in the time of production

Picture of System of turning
The system Alpha does not resemble any another system of turning. It has been developed by HARRISON for those companies that wish to manufacture, with rapidity and efficiency, from only pieces to small or average series. The system ALPHA is simple to use and easy to learn, any one that can handle a lathe can work with the ALPHA.

The system ALPHA is a perfect combination of machine of high quality, “know-how” of engineering of production, electronic advanced and a deep knowledge of the needs of the customer for tornear only pieces and short series.

System ALPHA PLUS “S”

The ALPHA PLUS “S” is so versatile that adapts to all the levels of skill and knowledges of machines of the operario.ALPHA Would have to do, as it would have to do it, where place the screen, the pulsadores or the steering wheels. To stand out that in this system uses the best software and hardware of Fanuc for turning.

System ALPHA PLUS “S”

The ALPHA PLUS “S” is so versatile that adapts to all the levels of skill and knowledges of machines of the operario. When using the methods of manual operation, sequential or of automatic cycle with the Alphalink, an operario of manual lathe can begin quickly to use the machine. Equally, an operario ready in CNC will feel comfortable when using the machine in system complete ISO.

In the practice, this allows to a company obtain the maximum advantages of this machine with a variety of operarios mínimamente trained. The ALPHA PLUS “S” adapts likewise to a wide range of works, from an only piece to production in series. For still greater productivity in big series, has, like option, of dishes and automatic turret milling machiness.

To) manual Operation.

In manual operation can use exactly the same that a conventional parallel lathe instrumented with digital readers. Any tornero can handle this machine to the moment. The precision and repetibilidad is better in the ALPHA PLUS “S” that in a conventional lathe because of the rigidity of construction of the machine, as well as to the use of husillo of balls jointly with accionamientos servo digital Fanuc, in a system of enclosed loop.

b) Semi-automatic sequential operation.

In sequential operation small series can be mechanised by the operario. In this way of operation, the devices of a conventional lathe are substituidos electronically.

The topes mechanical are replaced by topes electronic; the upper car or the device for cones by an electronic function of conical turning; and the devices of roscar by threaded electronic.

The entrance of information using the simple keyboard Alpha only requires a basic knowledge of the turning. The operation to produce a piece is identical to the one of a conventional lathe, the operario controls manually in connection with the machine. These operations can save in a computer to repeat them later.

c) Operation in automatic cycle (AlphaLink).

In the operation of automatic cycle can mechanise in profile, producing a program through the system AlphaLink, included in the standard team of the machine.

To produce a program requires only a very basic learning in PC.

A total graphic representation of the program reproduces in the computer with priority to his load in the system Alpha, which does that this method was safe and easy to use, even for an operario without experience.

The utilisation of a separate computer give all the advantages of the programming out of machine. The greater, the facilitate to the operario program the lathe while this works. This saves time and facilitates that somebody that was not the operario effect the programming, allowing to this the concentrate in the manufacturing and control of the machine.

d) Total programming in ISO.

This method of programming is a novelty in the machines ALPHA. To allow a total programming in ISO, has included a separate keyboard, interconnected to the console of control in addition to the existent for the ALPHA. The use of this keyboard Fanuc ensures a complete and immediate familiarity for the operarios of CNC.
