let stacker handling system enables extended untended operation. The robot is contained within the machine and positioned to allow unimpeded operator access for machine setup and operation.
The i-42 ROBO and i-60 ROBO machines operate in four axes (five with the optional B-axis), with a 15-hp, high-torque main spindle that features C-axis capability, a 2-hp live-tool mill- ing spindle, and capacity for 17 tools (23 with B-axis). A standard DIN-173- 42B collet chuck provides capacity for 42 mm bar, while an option with a 60 mm collet or 6”, 3-jaw chuck offers 60 mm bar capacity. A 3-axis (4-axis with optional B-axis) gang- type vertical tool post serves the main spindle with six OD turning tools, five ID turning tools, and three radial and three axial live toolheads. The optional B axis increases live tool capacity to six radial and six axial positions. The tool post also provides Y-axis motion for off-center milling operations. Rigid tapping is standard, as is the Kennam- etal KM-25 quick-change system that minimizes tool change time.
A matched CNC system combines a Mitsubishi M80A control, featuring a 260-mm (10.4”) LCD with Mitsubishi servomotors and amplifiers. Standard machine features include a bar feeder interface, parts conveyor and catcher, chip conveyor, collet chucks and a 400-psi coolant pump.
New Acu-Rite 300 DRO
—Heidenhain
The Acu-Rite 300-series digital readout (DRO), available from Heiden- hain, now enables users to control sinker EDM machines in addition to manual milling, turning and grinding machines. The DRO300 can control an EDM by way of Acu-Rite’s EDM software when coupled with an IOB 610 interface box. The software is now
included in all multipurpose DRO300s, and existing users can download the software for free from Acu-Rite’s website.
Features of the EDM control in- clude automatic depth programming, which enables the user to configure the ram to automatically retract or dwell at the target depth; a dwell cycle, by which the relay holds the Z depth until spark-out occurs and which also provides control for orbiter cycles; re- verse fault detection preventing creep out of the bath during a burn cycle; and an EDM display mode showing simultaneously the current ram depth, the maximum depth reached and the target depth on the three-axis displays.
Updated CAM Software
for 2020
—DP Technology
DP Technology has announced a comprehensive product update, called ESPRIT 2020, for its computer- aided manufacturing (CAM) software. Among the most significant develop- ments are updates to the software’s computer-aided design (CAD) inter- faces and new or improved solutions for specific machine tools.
ESPRIT 2020 features plenti- ful updates for Swiss-type machining. This technique is defined by its small, often intricate parts. Medical devices, such as bone screws, are typically manufactured on Swiss-type machines. ESPRIT’s 2020 update in- troduces or enhances support for 200 different Swiss-type machine models.
