Chevalier Machinery to Exhibit

Chevalier Machinery will be operating six machines October 15-17, during WESTEC being held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Chevalier experts will be available to answer any questions in booth #2812.

Machines to be exhibited at WESTEC include:

• FBL-510C-MC - New large bore horizontal lathe with live tooling - Chevalier's new FBL-510C-MC is designed for pipe threading making it suitable for the gas, oil and other related industries. The machine is a solution for manufacturers with a wide range of needs while its 21.5' L x 9.8' W dimensions eliminate excess floor space. The machine features dual chuck capability with a 12.5" spindle bore diameter. "The slant bed lathes are stable, highly accurate machines that can handle rough- and fine-turning operations. The three-speed gear-box provides enough horsepower for large diameter, heavy-duty cutting," said a company spokesperson.
• FBL-360B - New heavy-duty box way horizontal lathe - Chevalier's newly designed FBL-360B offers 45-degree slant bed, rigid box ways structure and programmable tailstock. With its new design, the machine is engineered with ease of access. The tool setters help reduce set-up times and keep non-machining times to a minimum. The lathe features 35 HP, AC digital spindle motor with a two-speed gearbox and 15" hydraulic chuck, 30.3" maximum swing, maximum turning diameter of 22.4" and maximum turning length up to 80". It produces 735 ft.-lbs. of torque at lower RPM. The fast 10-station servo-indexing turret offers 0.5 secs. tool indexing time. The O.D. shank is 1.25" and the boring bar holder holds up to 2.5".
• FNL-250SY - Multi-axis turning/milling lathe - The multi-functional design of Chevalier's FNL-250SY Series offers users in the printing, piping, valves, construction and oil and gas product fields ease of operation and increased productivity. The "FNL-250SY turning and milling machine is a versatile linear roller guide way machine designed for rigidity and relays very fast linear motion," said the spokesperson. The chuck size is up to 10" and the bar capacity is up to 2.5". Main spindle motor is 20 HP with 282 ft.-lbs. of maximum torque at 374 RPM. Maximum spindle speed is 4,500 RPM. The sub-spindle motor is 10 HP with 35 ft.-lbs. of maximum torque at 1,500 RPM. The maximum spindle speed is 15,000 RPM.
• QP2443 - Heavy-duty box way VMC - "Chevalier's QP2443 VMC offers an increase in reliability and productivity for such industries as aerospace, defense, printing, automotive, construction, gas and oil product fields. The QP2443 VMC has received praise from our clients for the machine's rigid structure and high-precision for high productivity in heavy workpieces. The cooling system reduces thermal expansion to a minimum and upgrades machining accuracy," said a company spokesperson. The machine's table size is 49" x 25.6" with a table load at 2,640 lbs. XYZ travel is 43" x 24" x 25". The tool holder accepts tools weighing up to 15 lbs.
• SMART-B818III - New fully automatic grinder - The new SMART-B818III is capable of producing "mirror" surface finishes on accurately ground workpieces that produce micro-finishes of 5 RMS. The positioning accuracy is (±) 0.0025 micron and the grinding accuracy is 1 micron. The SMART's movements are programmable in increments of 0.001 mm and include a table size of 8" x 8". The maximum distance from table to spindle centerline is 18" and wheel spindle is rated at 1,000 - 7,000 RPM and 3 HP. The SMART's standard grinding wheel size is 8" x 1/2" x 1-1/4". The machine weighs approximately 2,665 lbs., with dimensions of 80.9" x 82.36" x 82.7". The SMART's PC-based control, combined with a user-friendly conversational TaskLink function, makes it easy to learn and operate.
• FSG-1224ADIII - New surface and profile CNC grinder - "The new FSG-1224ADIII Series is a highly advanced, automatic-precision, surface grinding machine that offers improved accuracy, quality and ease of operation," said the spokesperson. This Series includes the new touch-screen control station that is adjustable to a comfortable position for the operator. Switches, buttons, LEDs and indicating lamps are all combined in a touch display that is ergonomically positioned to provide user-friendly operation. The FSG-1224ADIII Series includes a new PLC controller that provides a grind cycle with rough grinding, fine grinding, spark-out passes and an automatic over-wheel dresser with compensation, which can be added to fully automate the grind process. After the cycle is finished, the table will "park" either left or right of the saddle and at the front to facilitate unloading and loading. The spindle can be set to "stop running" or "continue running." The wheel head can also be set to return to the start position or to park at a reference point. Once the cycle is started, the wheel head will move rapidly to the start point and repeat the grind cycle. If material is required to be removed from both sides, "flip over" can be selected, so that the wheel head position is at the finish grind height, which will start grinding immediately without touching off.
