The 2SI models uniquely connect two spindles, while one of two spindles is machining, the other spindle is loading and unloading a workpiece. This 2-Spindle 1NC lathe was developed from the architecture of "reducing idle time to the utmost limit."
2SI-6/8
The unique external loading spindle desigh enables
“Absolute Zero-second loading time” and
“1st and 2nd Interprocess machining”
MOVIE
-
Parts feeder → Conveyor →Robotic transfer
-
Manual operation machine specification (Manual loading)
-
Robot vision system catches random direction.
-
Combining rotary stocker and robot
FEATURES
-
01
While the 1st spindle performs machining, the 2nd spindle performs
loading/unloading
▶Simultaneous Machining and Loading.
Achieving zero-second loading! -
02
Equipped with two chucks,
a single machine can perform machining both the front and back sides of a workpiece, resulting in process-intensive machining. -
03
The unique external loading spindle desigh allows easy access to the chuck for setup with great ease.
BENEFITS
-
A lathe with a high operation rate close to 100 % cutting time ratio. Significantly reduces cycle time and improves productivity!
-
When compared with a single-spindle lathe that can only perform one process at a time,
the 2SI can do the work of two machines by machining the front(OP10) and back(OP20) sides of finished products.
As a result, the numbers of machines will be half, half space requirement and a significant reduction in capital investment. -
One chuck is located outside the partition door enable easy robotic access, also manual loading, and chuck changeover. The robot can be mounted on the machine without extra mounting space.
The 2SI is optimal for the following types of work:
-
Tasks that need a short cycle time and a long loading time
-
Tasks with a big difference between the 1st(OP10) and 2nd(OP20) process cycle times
-
Tasks that requires a large amount of time for chucking under manual loading situations
Uniqueness and superiority
- “Zero loading” and “OP10 and OP20 Interprocess Machining” achieve zero lost time and doubles the speed.
- The only machine with no loader idle time, which can certainly reduce cycle time.
- A process-intensive machine with two spindles and one turret that can perform two machining processes with either 8-inch size task or long shaft task in the space occupied by a single machine.
- No need to free up space for the robot because the robot is mounted on the machine.
- The 2SI-8 Mk-II model is also available, which can perform multitasking at the Y-axis and equip a tailstock.
