With an X-Y-Z capability of 300 x 500 x 700, 21 tools and a chip to chip time of 1 second, the new Robo Drill delivers a level of precision and accuracy for the mid volume smaller complex parts. With the addition of the DDR-T Rotary table and pneumatic vices, we have a fourth axis with a quick load capability. Compared to conventional machines that do not have the 24,000 RPM spindle speed, we have been able to drive cycle times and improve efficiency and accuracy at the same time.
The small manifold blocks in the photograph show the Robo Drill at its best, achieving cycle times that are better than 50% of the previous. Clever utilisation of the fourth axis and Schunk vices allowed 4 parts to be machined in every cycle, with two coming off complete at each change.
