Robot-equipped lathe

Auto sales finally got back above pre-recession levels in 2014 with August sales reaching a seven-year high. After six long years, sales levels have matched 2007’s pace. More importantly, several research groups expect 2015 continue to grow. Today’s Motor Vehicles allows marketers direct access to this healthy industry with continued growth.

The Vturn-NP16CM CNC lathe is equipped with a 6″, 3-jaw hollow hydraulic chuck; C-axis; and BMT-45 live servo turret (12 live tools). A standard rear-discharge chip conveyor supports automated operation, and a right-discharge chip conveyor is available. Roller-type linear guideways and a Meehanite casting, one-piece slant bed support 1,181ipm feed rates in all axes.

An Easyway Robot is seated on the tailstock slideway (which has been removed from the lathe). The robotic parts catcher has three servo motors to rotate the arms and grippers to transport parts between work feeder and chuck.

The work feeder consists of 10, 6.7″ x 15.7″ pallets to load up to 120 pieces with a max. diameter of 1.65″.
