This 4-Spindle 2NC slide (4-spindle 2-turret lathe) can significantly reduce both the idling time and cycle time by cutting and loading/unloading the workpiece at the same time.

FEATURES
-
01
While the 1st and 2nd spindle are machining, the 3rd and 4th spindle are loading or unloading
▶Machining and workpiece loading/unloading are performed at the same time to achieve an effective loading time of zero seconds! -
02
There are four chucks so all four operations (Operation 1 (OP1), Operation 2 (OP2), inversion, and workpiece attachment) are gathered on a single machine and performed at the same time.
A lathe with a high operation rate close to 100% that is always creating chips, this significantly reduces the cycle time and improves productivity!
-
03
The spindle for loading and unloading the workpiece is exposed outside the partition door. The machine design enables easy chuck exchange and manual workpiece loading/unloading.
-
04
Automation is achieved with zero robot space because the robot can be mounted on the machine.
Loading the robot on the slide rail provides a stroke equivalent to a gantry loader.
Two types of time loss that can be resolved only by using a 4-spindle 2-turret machine
-
Loader idling time⇒ Eliminated by “Zero-second loading”, simultaneously performing machining and workpiece loading/unloading!
-
Difference in machining time between the 1st and 2nd processes (OP1 and OP2) ⇒ Resolved by alternating the 1st and 2nd machining (AA/BB processing specifications)!
4-spindle 2NC slide (Twin Turrets)
When there is a difference in the machining time for OP1 and OP2
⇒ AA/BB is the best solution.
