Multi-operation Modular Machining
August 1, 2014
The DLFn's completely innovative approach to flexible line configuration allows for easy addition or changeover of modules for extreme efficiency, according to Fuji Machine America Corp.
Raw materials go into the DLFn for turning, measuring, drilling, deburring, parts cleaning and other operations, and then exit as a finished part. The DLFn's internal work handling units allow for fully automatic line configurations. Switching operations requires simply pulling out one module and replacing it with another. Two machine modules can be set on one standardized base module, allowing for flexible processing. The pull out design of the DLFn also allows for convenient access during maintenance.
DLFn work removal is performed in 5.8 seconds load/unload, and the DLFn operates with an improved takt time over other lines, according to the company.
Featuring a small footprint, the DLFn occupies less than half the space of a conventional machining line, according to a spokesperson. Up to 10 modules can be combined to form a maximum 14-3/4' (4.5 m) line.
The DLFn module, conveyance unit and all peripherals are operated by Fuji's original UNICORN Controller.
