Large capacity for number of tools Main turret (12 stations) has a middle indexing capability, making it possible to mount tools on the 24-positions. Moreover, with the sub turret, the maximum number of tools becomes 36. This is an extensive number of tooling capable of cutting different types of different amount of workpieces at shorter idle time. Innovative short cycle time With the sub spindle for overlap cutting and main and sub spindle simultaneous cutting, the cycle time is significantly reduced.

Improved and Enhanced Functions The control system has been updated to incorporate the most up-to-date functions in the standard specifications for improved working efficiency. High-Speed "ΣGH Loader" Mounted (Optional) The new, high-speed gantry-type "ΣGH loader" with a rapid traverse rate of 155 m/min for the travel axis and 125m/min to reduce the cycle time.

The production process changes. A loading time of ″0″ is realized. High-speed servo turret substantially cuts idle time. The rigidity of the 10-station drum turret used on the machine has increased through a uniform, balanced design, making it capable of continuous full operation. The turret rotation speed of 0.2 seconds per index is one of the fastest available. Compact design with integral loader for high-efficiency operation. The exceptional total balance that has been achieved by integrating the loader with the machine has lead not only to high productivity but also a broad range of other benefits including space savings and joint maintenance during after service.

Integration of diverse processes Three spindles are installed in one machine. Power tools can be mounted, allowing turning and a variety of other machining including horizontal hole machining too. The transport device that passes laterally through the machine can transfer a workpiece to each of the three spindles, allowing any required process configuration such as 1-1-1, 1-1-2, 1-2-2, and 1-2-3. Because the individual lathe units have equal capabilities, the same process can be shared among the three spindles without considering differences in capability. Labor savings at setup changes A self-loading configuration is adopted to move the spindle directly to a traverse-type transfer device for workpiece transfer. The transfer device has a workpiece turnover function, eliminating the turnover device between processes. The number of transfers between chucks is reduced, which also decreases the possibility of momentary stops, the number of setup changes, and setup man-hours.

Further enhanced speed The rapid traverse rate is fastest in its class (X axis: 18 m/min, Z axis: 24 m/min). The Z-axis motor output is improved, thus increasing the drilling capacity by 20% (compared to the previous model). Loading system selection according to user specifications In addition to our reputable Σi loaders, the new F loaders with higher operability and speed can now be selected. The FC60 loader has a rapid traverse rate of 120 m/min on both the traverse axis and the vertical axis. This achieves a loading time of 2.8 seconds. The control screen of the FC60 loader specification is a 10.4-inch touch panel type with excellent operability, and incorporates various functions, such as an automatic teaching function.

Stroke adjustable chucking cylinder provided as standard Maximum turning diameter with a 6-inch chuck is φ180mm. With the machine’s compactness in design taking up only 1,610mm x 1,250mm of floor space, installation is not a problem. Also components for routine maintenance are accessible on the front and back of the machine making side-by-side machine placement possible. The start condition confirmation function prevents machine trouble. After pressing the cycle start button, the machine checks the machine’s presets and checks if conditions are met. If the conditions are not met, the machine will prompt a warning on the display. The enhanced software and safety features can prevent operator start-up errors, any mechanical damage, and even the outflow of defective products.

High-precision polygon machining With the conventional milling machines and others of this type, the grinding is done for every index to shave workpieces with many sides. On this machine, the features of a lathe are implemented. The tool and workpiece are both rotating for immediate finish. This results to short cycle time and a very accurate polygon cutting is possible. Greatly increased productivity On polygon cutting, processing operation does not require indexing. Comparing with cutting process and other methods that require interpolation and polar coordinate, C indexing + Y-axis, this process reduces the cutting significantly.

A 6-inch mid size machine offering high productivity through space savings, compound machining and high-speed automation Space savings in production lines Due to the turret and slide structure, the width of the machine with the loader transfer has been cut to 1,595 mm, the smallest in the class. (25% smaller than existing models) This reduces the workpiece transfer distance from the machine to peripheral devices, allowing the width of the production line to be reduced. Shorter machining cycles A 7.5/5.5 kW spindle motor is installed, and the increased power reduces spindle acceleration/deceleration times. (Comparison with previous models: Acceleration/deceleration time reduced 22% with max. speed of 4,500 min-1)
