Swiss-style CNC lathes have revolutionized manufacturing, providing high precision and improved performance. At KSI Swiss, the TCM 32HY2 and 38HY2 models stand out due to their advanced features and reliability. These machines meet the rigorous demands of modern manufacturing, making them a preferred choice for many industries.
Intelligent Chucking and High Precision Features
The intelligent chucking feature in the TCM 32HY2 and 38HY2 machines is a game-changer. It allows for fewer bar re-chucks, which means less downtime and more efficiency. This system automatically adjusts for bar length, minimizing waste and enhancing productivity.
High precision mode (M100) is another standout feature. This mode reduces vibrations during high-speed operations, ensuring a smooth finish on all parts. Whether you are machining complex geometries or simple parts, the M100 mode guarantees accuracy. Rapid tool change (RTC) technology further boosts productivity by allowing quick and seamless tool transitions.
The combination of these features results in machines that deliver high-quality performance and reliable output. Manufacturers can depend on these lathes to meet demanding production schedules without compromising on quality.
Advanced Tooling and Maintenance Systems
Variable frequency turning (VFT) in the TCM 32HY2 and 38HY2 enhances chip control. By adjusting the speed and feed rates during cutting, VFT helps produce smaller chips that are easier to manage. This reduces the risk of machine jams and downtime, ensuring a smoother operation. Additionally, the VFT contributes to better heat management, prolonging the tool’s lifespan.
These machines are equipped with software-controlled breakage detection tools. The software instantly identifies and alerts operators of any tool issues, preventing further damage and ensuring continuous production. On-screen G code and M code lists make it easy for operators to manage and make adjustments during machining, streamlining the process.
A standout maintenance feature is the automatic waylube system, which reduces the need for manual intervention. This system ensures that all critical components are well-lubricated, decreasing wear and tear and extending the machine’s lifespan. Tool life management and collision prevention systems also play a vital role in maintaining the machine’s integrity and operational efficiency. These features monitor tool usage and detect potential collisions, allowing for proactive maintenance and minimizing unexpected downtimes.
Effective Parts Handling Solutions
Handling parts efficiently is key to a smooth production process. The TCM 32HY2 and 38HY2 machines feature a parts chute and conveyor, which help streamline workflows by quickly moving parts away from the machining area. This system reduces manual intervention, ensuring that the process keeps moving without delays. The sub spindle work ejector plays a vital role as well, ensuring parts are easily and consistently removed, eliminating bottlenecks.
The cutting oil tank and chip pan are both removable and independent. This feature simplifies maintenance and makes it easier to clean the machines. The large 260L cutting oil tank ensures a consistent supply of cutting fluid, improving the overall machining process. The work-dual zone LED lighting enhances visibility, making it easier for operators to monitor the machining process. The sub spindle air blow feature is designed for long shaft ejection readiness, adding to the machine’s versatility.
Fanuc Oi-TF Control System Benefits
The Fanuc Oi-TF control system on the TCM 32HY2 and 38HY2 machines brings many advantages. The 10.4” color CRT monitor offers clear visual control, making it easier for operators to track all processes in real-time. Dual path control allows for the management of complex processes simultaneously, providing greater flexibility and efficiency.
Advanced G and M codes enable precise machining. Codes like G40-G42 for nose radius compensation, G92 for thread cutting, and G184 for smart rigid tapping offer detailed control over machining tasks. Synchronization features like M56 for main/sub spindle speed synchronization and M54 for phase synchronization ensure smooth operation across different parts of the machine. Additionally, the machine comes with a maintenance information screen and Ethernet connectivity for better data management. These features help technicians monitor the machine’s status and plan timely maintenance, minimizing downtime.
