How to resolve AdBlock issue? 21 pallet RPS for horizontal machining centres
- Details
- August 19, 2020
Click image to enlargeDoosan Machine Tools' multi-level RPS (Rotary Pallet System) works with Doosan’s NHP Series horizontal machining centres, specifically the NHP 4000 and NHP 5000.
It holds up to 21 pallets (three layers of seven pallets) vertically. The new configuration will be attractive to job shops that need to add capacity to their machine or require an affordable, more compact pallet system to consolidate fixtures that may be feeding their horizontal machining centres.
Its user-friendly HMI screen located at the setup station communicates with the CNC that operates the horizontal machining centre.
The main CNC also stores all the programs and tool data. Another benefit to the matchup is the modular approach used in the NHP series, allowing expansion of the tool magazine from the standard 60 all the way up to a 275-tool matrix.
This means an operator can load enough tools to machine all the pallets stored on the RPS.
Tungaloy has announced the expansion of its DrillMeister exchangeable-head drill system by adding diameters ranging from 20.0 mm to 25.9 mm (from .787″ to 1.020″) to the DMF drill line for flat bottom hole drilling including counterboring.
Seco Tools has introduced the new TTP2050 threading insert grade.
MC Machinery has introduced a new high capacity automatic tool changer for its BH series of dual drive press brakes.
The new captive locating screws and captive jig pins introduced by Carr Lane are quick-acting, all-in-one assemblies designed to keep all tooling at hand.
Sandvik Coromant has introduced its M612 face mill, a product engineered for the rough machining of stainless steel turbo housings.
