Minutes instead of days: Complete solution from igus reduces the assembly time of machining centres11/11/2018
In very few industries are throughput times as important as in the machine tool industry. Cutting out individual work steps means that considerable savings in process costs can be achieved. The design engineers at Hartford, the largest manufacturer of CNC machining centres in Taiwan, know this as well. The manufacturer has 50 years of history exporting more than 46,000 machines to 65 different countries. Since 2017, the company has been developing CNC equipment of the AERO series – the robotic machining centres for very large components needed for the aerospace industry, for example. In this industry, precision and reliability are critical factors. Therefore it was important to have a reliable means of energy supply from the switch cabinet to the moving parts, which include spindles and motors. At the same time, all the information regarding axis position and dynamics must be passed back to the control system without any interruption. In the first model in this series, the AERO626, this happens at accelerations of up to 0.5 g and a maximum travel speed of up to 60 m/min. |
