Single Tool Machining Units

Suhner India Pvt Ltd, automation expert, offers compact and self-contained Single Tool Machining Units. These units are of modular design, which can be positioned in any direction around the work piece. In most cases, all operations can be performed in one cycle, thus reducing the machining overall cycle time to a minimum. Since all tooling modules work simultaneously, the cycle time is basically determined by the longest single tool operation and not the addition of all the tools. There are no limitations to parts size and the number of tools that are engaged at the same time. The company offers a complete, well balanced spindle program with optional feed systems (pneumatic, hydraulic and CNC) available in a quill feed or slide and spindle design. In combination with modern tooling technology Suhner machining units can achieve the highest degree of performance and accuracy. Solid carbide tools permit cutting speeds up to 300 m/min in aluminium at feed rates of 0.5 mm/rev. These rates result in very short cycle times and extended tool life. The transfer machine illustrates a drilling station for an aluminium profile with 11 drilling operations. The actual machine time is 8 seconds. The machine is used in 3 shifts and produces a finished part in less than 20 seconds. Depending on tool diameter, some of the drilling station units operate at 12,000 rpm. The company has designed special purpose machine that provides 33 holes to an automotive fibreglass reinforced plastic part in less than 2.5 seconds. For all chip making operations including drilling, tapping, milling, reaming, flow drilling, boring, turning, inside and outside grooving, etc., with internal or external coolant supply, the company offers the right and most comprehensive machining unit program. The company also offers tools with flexible shaft, pneumatic drilling and carriage units, belt grinder, flexible shaft tools, multi spindle heads for drilling & tapping, etc.
