ing spindle produces high torque. The vertical column and base are made from heavily ribbed Meehanite castings that minimize thermal distor- tion and dampen vibration. Smooth operation is virtually guaranteed complements of enclosed X-, Y- and Z-axis box guideways featuring hand- scraped mating surfaces, Turcite-B coatings and forced lubrication. The VMT’s simple design eliminates belts and gears in all three axes instead relying on servo motors to drive large 2”-diameter Class-3 precision ballscrews during operation. A fixed turning spindle and 3-axis moving column provide optimal chip removal
and simplified operation.
The You Ji VMT-1000+Y features a
large 29.5” Y-axis travel,” and a stan- dard 24 tool arm-type ATC with 55 lb. tool weight capacity.
New and Improved Quick Change Tool System for CNC Swiss Machines-
GenSwiss
GenSwiss has introduced the new ‘GenQuick’ branded quick change ER system for CNC Swiss machines and precision machining equipment.
“Even prior to a post-COVID job market, it was very difficult to find qualified operators capable of setting up and running CNC equipment to the level of precision that is necessary to meet most production requirements,” said Scott Laprade, GenSwiss tech and applications supervisor.
“The newly redesigned GenQuick tooling system helps new users as well as seasoned veterans achieve faster setups and tool changes through the use of tool holder adaptors and quick- change modules that can be preset
and are based on the ER standard tool holding system.”
Base tool holder shanks are avail- able from GenSwiss in diameters to suit most Swiss machine model’s ID working tool positions. They also work in conjunction with the GenQuick adaptors to make changing of drills, boring bars, and other round shank tools easier for the machine operator. Additionally, tooling for each working shift can be pre-set using GenQuick adaptors and modules.
