Mill-Turn Centers Integrate Robots Distributed by Absolute Machine Tools Inc., Quicktech i-42 ROBO and i-60 ROBO four-axis mill-turn centers feature integrated six-axis Mitsubishi robots for fast, automated loading and unloading of medium-diameter (i42: 42 mm/1.68", i60: 60 mm/2.36") barstock. In addition to carrying out highly productive turning, the machines can perform complex milling with standard live tools, the company says. An optional 360-degree B axis further extends milling capabilities. The Mitsubishi S series six-axis high- speed robot automatically loads, unloads or turns over parts weighing up to 13 lbs. An optional multi-tray pallet handling sys- tem enables untended operation. Accord- ing to the company, the robot is contained within the machine and is positioned to allow unimpeded operator access for machine setup and operation. The i-42 ROBO and i-60 ROBO machines operate in four axes (five with the optional B axis), with a 15-hp high- torque turning spindle that features C-axis capability, a 2-hp live tool milling spindle, and capacity for 17 tools (23 with B axis). A standard DIN-173-42B collet chuck provides capacity for 42-mm bar, while an optional with a 60-mm collet or 6", three- jaw chuck offers 60-mm bar capacity. :: Absolute Machine Tools Inc. 800-852-7825 absolutemachine.com 1.800.281.5734 Germantown, WI USA www.hainbuchamerica.com We have all heard the phrase WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER. Makes sense, right? In times of economic uncertainty, it's SMART to maximize the efficiency of every one of your resources. Workholding technology that allows you to go from O.D. to I.D. to 3-jaw clamping in a matter of seconds without readjustment can maximize the production – and the profits – of your existing machines. Now that is WORKING SMARTER. LOOKING FOR A NEW SUPPLIER? Visit PM Online Suppliers Today! productionmachining.com/suppliers PRODUCTS 52 PRODUCTION MACHINING :: NOVEMBER 2017
