BOOTH 133009 IMTS 2018 Preview September 10-14 2018 from Alberti. Alberti developed a combined system featuring a swivel- ing module and a standard angle head. “This angle head is the first and only in the world with the capability to index output at virtually any angle,” said the spokesperson. The main characteristic of the system is the possibility of rotating and then positioning the head automati- cally, using the controlled axis of the machine spindle. The technology in- side the module allows the “anchoring” of the head with the machine spin- dle to achieve an automatic position in the machining direction and operate like a standard angle head using the spindle rotation. The system is operated by 6-bar compressed air through the stop pin or by a closed hydraulic circuit controlled by a piston. The entire sys- tem can be automatically exchanged by the tool changer and can mount heads with collet capacity up to a diameter of 10 mm. Now it is possible to use a single head for multiple operations to avoid additional workpiece set-ups or tool changes and to carry out various machining processes. Okamoto Double Column Surface Grinding Machine —Booth #236834 The ACC-32●80CHiQ surface double column grinder is designed for high precision grinding of large com- ponents. It delivers both high accuracy and high efficiency. Ultra rigid double column design and con- struction standsup to prolonged heavy- duty grinding conditions. Double vee table way construction provides continued peak accuracy. With all its capacity, this grinder has a surprisingly small footprint.
