Honor Seiki PL350CM with a 137" (3,500 mm) table that can swing and cut up to a 157" (4,000 mm) part.
CNC Systems, Inc. and Honor Seiki have announced a solution to help manufacture the more complex, accurate and ever-growing part sizes in a variety of metalcutting and chip making applications.
"The real beauty of the Honor Seiki Y-axis VTL machine configuration is the ability to combine difficult operations and reduce manufacturing costs on large complex parts," a company spokesperson explained. "On a recent visit to a customer, we analyzed their parts and were able to reduce their operations from six set-ups to two. The proposed solution will allow their parts to be made at a lower cost, with less handling, to help the customer be more competitive."
The PL Series starts at a 63" (1,600 mm) table and can go as large as a 196" (5,000 mm) table.
The standard tool changer on the right hand side of the machine has 16 tool stations and can be increased to 24 stations. The PL350CM has an additional 60 tool stations on the left hand side that can be expanded up to 200 tool stations using CAPTO, KM, CAT or BT Tools. The left side tool changer allows automatic tool changing into the optional 90° (right angle head) or into special turning or boring heads for special applications.
All of the toolholders are locked into the large heavy duty RAM by the patented Honor Seiki Solid Lock tooling system that allows for longer and heavier tools to be used with greater rigidity and accuracy.
The PL Series, with the standard FANUC Oi-TP Plus CNC Control, also has the following capabilities: rigid tapping, vertical turning, vertical and horizontal milling, Y-axis table movement, C-axis table movement, quick change chuck/fixtures, grinding, dual rams, full X-axis travel with the single ram, additional Z-axis travel and open height, hydraulic chucks and an expanded automatic tool changer that will hold 200 tools. Increased accuracies can be achieved by adding the following optional equipment: scale feedback in all axis with tool setting and part probes.
"CNC Systems would be happy to meet with customers to analyze their applications and send a product catalog for reference," said the spokesperson. In the effort to support the customers better, CNC Systems will be promoting this product through its well-established full servicing, distributor network.
Parts, service and support are already in place for this machine line along with the other products that are imported through CNC Systems that also have a variety of applications in manufacturing: Vision Wide (3-, 4-, 5- and 6-axis) double column bridge, gantry mills and turn-mills, APEC 5-axis liner motor gantry and bridge mills, AVEREX horizontal machining centers, Ares Seiki drill tap machines and the latest introductions: TLC Cutting for waterjet, fiber laser, 2D and 3D Laser and Doimak high end grinding solutions.
The PL Series is imported by CNC Systems Inc. with locations in California, New England and Texas.
