Machining special shafts and pipes

Type of machine: VHC

On the swivelling bridge installed in the left-hand pendulum working space, several workpieces can be clamped in parallel and each machined on three sides

Shafts and pipes are held in centring clamps – The workpieces are automatically rotated by means of the rotary table housed on the left-hand side and the
tailstock installed on the right-hand side

Use of special tools on a horizontally aligned pick-up magazine

Task:

Machining special shafts and pipes

Solution:

Standard travelling column machining centre with customer-specific clamping technology in the working space
Use of a swivelling bridge with hydraulic clamps and additional centring clamps
Moveable rotary table with power chuck, pick up station

Working space equipped with swivelling bridge and rotary table with power chuck
Can be used in pendulum mode
