Escomatic D2/ D5 Flex Speed Material Processing Machines

DKSH Technology offers Escomatic D2/ D5 Flex Speed Material Processing Machines. It allows machining to be optimised while guaranteeing an extremely high level of productivity. Material straightening: the material is fed into the machine from a coil which becomes bar stock after the straightening process. It produces a bar with a straightness quality equivalent to standard bar stock. Material feeding: the material is clamped between a set of grooved rollers and their rotation controls the feeding. The clamping pressure is adjustable and the grooves have the shape of the wire. With this principle and the closeness of the guide bushing, very small wire can be machined without bending or whipping (down to 0.30 mm). Turning: while the material is held by a guide bushing, the turning and chip removal is performed by the unique Esco principle. This consists of having the cutting tools rotating around the material with a speed up to 8000 RPM. When cutting off, the counter collet holds the machined part for a perfect flatness and a pip free end. This increases the advantages of cam machine performance. Thanks to the electronic control system, the revolution of the cam shaft can be programmed for specific areas. For example, the feed rate can be reduced for parting and increased for turning; this means that the slowest process no longer determines the overall cycle time. In addition the spindle speeds and straightening speeds can be continuously adjusted (no more changing pulleys). This means that the parameters of each operation can be optimised individually. The result is a significant improvement in the quality of the parts which are produced, both in meeting tolerances and in surface finish. The new lubrication system eliminates the need for compressed air to the machine. All sets of cams and tools which are already in use for current Escomatic D2/ D5 machines can also be used on the D2/ D5 Flex Speed.
