Bohle Introduces New Flexible Rotary Transfer Production Center

      Bohle Machine Tools is introducing at IMTS the Precitrame CNC Rotary Transfer Machine product line. The Swiss-built Precitrame includes up to 14 spindles at 6,000 RPM, NC-controlled rotary table and 14 floating fixtures at 120 mm. Positioning accuracy of the fixture system is 5 µm. All spindles include manual quick-connect clamping and/or coolant-through-spindle and may be configured for horizontal or vertical operation. Equipped with the Siemens 840D CNC, the innovative multi-station machine with automated material handling is suitable for high production of precision parts, the company said.

 

      The 14-station MTR 414 H1 CNC produced rocker arms in less than 14 seconds, for example, and eliminated the need for deburring compared to a previous method, resulting in reduced cost per piece, said the company.

 

 

      Precitrame transfer machines meet the high volume, high precision requirements of such sectors as the mobile phone industry, clock and watch making industry and the car industry, sectors where new product cycles are very short so companies have to bring their products to market very quickly.

 

      Machine sequence: Parts are loaded and unloaded automatically. To assure accuracy, the part is clamped once at the first station and remains on the fixture through each station before it is released at the last station. Twelve CNC AC 3-axis modular machining units provide axis travel of

mm (in): X=120 (4.724), Y=160 (6.299) and Z=130 (5.118). Toolholders are HSKC25.

 

      A Stäubli poly-articulated 6-axis robot loads/unloads parts into and out of the machine.

 

      Precitrame CNC rotary transfer product line advantages include:

  • Turning and milling in a single clamping.

  • Parts complete in a single clamping.

  • 5-side machining, with 3, 4 or 5 axes interpolation.

  • ID and OD turning.

  • 15 stations modular, upwardly compatible concept.

  • Up to 62 numerical axes and more than 50 tools possible.
