A pallet jack is included with each TRAK 2OP.
The Portable TRAK 2OP can be placed next to a primary machine to reduce cycle and operator idle times.
TRAK 2OP is a portable CNC machining center designed for 2nd operations.
Southwestern Industries will unveil its new TRAK 2OP
portable machining center at WESTEC. Designed for second operation machining, TRAK 2OP is intended to streamline a shop's workflow by bringing an additional spindle quickly and easily to an operator idled by the cycle time of the primary machine.
The TRAK 2OP utilizes ProtoTRAK CNC technology with conversational language programming. Programs can be generated either at the machine or remotely to perform tasks normally associated with second operation machining, including: drilling, tapping, countersinking, face milling and the machining of profiles, pockets and bolt hole patterns.
Other TRAK 2OP standard features include an 8-station tool changer that eliminates the need for manual tool changes, built-in Jergens ball locks that facilitate quick changeovers, and a pallet jack. The latter is designed to allow a person to move the compact (2.5' x 4' footprint) TRAK 2OP to any desired shop location to improve workflow.
For example, a TRAK 2OP can be placed near a primary machine that is performing both primary and secondary operation machining. Once the TRAK 2OP is in place, the primary machine can be re-purposed to perform the primary operation while the TRAK 2OP can be dedicated to perform the less time consuming and less complex secondary operation. The operator who had been running the primary machine and had been idled by its long cycle time can be re-tasked with running both machines.
In another scenario, a TRAK 2OP can be moved to an area where the primary operation is accomplished by batch processing on a turning center and the secondary operation is accomplished by batch processing on a manual mill. Once the TRAK 2OP has been placed near the turning center, the operator who had been idled by the turning center's cycle time can be re-tasked with running both machines (turning center primary operation/TRAK 2OP secondary operation).
