CNC SPM, 8 Axes

Shenoy Engineering Pvt Ltd, manufacturer of special purpose machines (SPMs), has designed and developed an 8 axes CNC SPM, having the capabilities of HMC, VMC and VTL. The salient features of the machine are mentioned here below: VMC, HMC and VTL rolled into a single dedicated SPM with innumerable general purpose machining capabilities; a servo driven rotary table for accurate positioning of the job and for providing rotational feed to the job while boring; self feeding vertical ram for boring and turning operation, mounted on the top bridge with integral horizontal side; separate 10 HP vertical ram type, mill, drill head for operations like milling, drilling, etc; for machining the sides, horizontally mounted mill, drill head, mounted on a 3 axes slide; all the linear axes and rotary table are servo controlled with Siemens advanced controllers; VFD controls for stepless spindle speeds in combination with lever operated gears; and a combined function of VMC, HMC and CNC VTL facilitates any machining operation, be it boring, milling, drilling or tapping. List of machining possible: using the boring ram (VTL head), possible to do straight bore, taper bore, profile boring, top facing, OD turning, etc; using 10 HP ram type mill/drill head (VMC configuration) - drilling, milling, hole milling through interpolation, slotting through end mills, tapping through tapping attachment, boring, milling, drilling of inside bore walls through a detachable right angle attachment; and using horizontal head (HMC configuration) - drilling, milling, hole milling through interpolation, slotting through end mills, tapping through taping attachment, boring. Using interpolation feature of CNC system many more types of operations can be performed. The machine is designed keeping in mind, the optimum utilisation of the man and machine. This machine has been designed and manufactured to perform all machining operations in large circular components like motor frames, magnet frames etc in one go. All machining operations are carried out, taking the reference from the centre bore axis, which ensures a very high level of accuracy consistently. In fact, most of these components need multiple machines for performing hundreds of machining operations of many types. A single machine can now perform all the operations in one go, which drastically reduces the dependency on human skill, multiple machine operators, floor space, etc. Fully CNC controlled machine reduces the possibilities human error and thus eliminates the rejections to the least.
