horizontal machining center (HMC).
“We classify this system as ‘com-
pact’ with a 12-pallet capacity serving
one machine,” said Jim Im, Doosan’s
engineering manager–Machining
Centers. “We offer more extensive
systems— some with up to 72 pal-
lets. We designed the LPSII compact
system with floor space concerns in
mind. Many of our customers want to
boost productivity but cannot add real
estate. Customers are generally sur-
prised at how simple it is to integrate
with one of our newer HMCs out in
the field. Installation only takes about
five days. It adds a remarkable level
of continuous production, particularly
for those customers who are new to the
concept. Training for the system is less
than two days.”
Workpiece sizes up to 31.4 x 35.4”
can be accommodated on each pallet
and with weights up to 1,102.5 lbs.
