FEMCO to Showcase Revolutionary CNC Technologies at IMTS 2014
FEMCO is all set to prove its mettle yet again. The Taiwanese leading CNC manufacturers will demonstrate their latest CNC technologies at the upcoming IMTS 2014, Chicago. The company is gearing up to showcase live action of CNC machines such as BMC-110R2 Horizontal Bore Mill, CNC lathes like HL-55/2000, HL-35DMSY and HL-25 DM designed for high speed precision turning and milling. The exhibition is scheduled from September 17-20, 2014 and FEMCO will be exhibiting from booth South Hall 8021.
FEMCO to display the below mentioned machines at IMTS:-
BMC-110R2
FEMCO’s BMC-110R2 horizontal boring mill features stress-relieved Meehanite castings for all major components and uses induction-hardened box ways on all three axes. The headstock, column, base and cross-slides are lined with Turcite to promote wear and slip-stick characteristics. Designed for large work pieces, the machine’s 56.69″ × 62.99″ worktable offers a load capacity of 13,889 lbs. (Image above)
The BMC-110R2 features a 35-hp, 50-taper spindle motor and a two-speed gearhead to enable maximum metal removal during heavy machining operations. The 4.33″-diameter spindle provides a stroke of 19.69″. X-, Y- and Z-axis travels measure 78.74″ × 70.87″ × 66.93″, respectively, and precision glass scales on all three axes help to ensure accuracy and repeatability. The machining center also features a 60-station Automatic Tool Changer or an optional 90-station tool magazine. It is equipped with a FANUC 32i MB CNC control and FANUC servo-drive system. An external chain-type chip conveyor system quickly and efficiently removes chips. Options include a through-spindle coolant system and a full B-axis rotary table with contouring capabilities.
HL-35DMSY
FEMCO’s HL-35DMSY CNC lathe features a 23-station Durga turret, which is designed to reduce production time by providing enough live tools to complete complex parts without changing tools. The machine features two spindles with a Y axis and 11 live tool stations. The dual spindle enables users to machine the inside and outside of a part to produce a complete part at one time. According to the company, this helps improve accuracy because the machinist is not moving the part to a different machine. The lathe has a 10″ chuck, 2.93″ bar capacity and 4,000-rpm spindle speed.
HL-55/2000
FEMCO’s HL-55/2000 CNC lathe is designed for heavy cutting on large work pieces. The solid wraparound box way construction is designed for precision turning of large work pieces. All mating surfaces are lined with Turcite to provide wear and slip-stick characteristics. The rigid, 45-degree slant-bed construction, combined with precision components, ensures consistent high accuracies and quality finishes, the company says.
The lathe features a two-speed ZF gearbox for maximum metal removal at lower spindle speeds. The main spindle features a standard 15″ chuck, and 18″ or 21″ diameter chucks are available as options. A 35-hp Fanuc motor with a maximum spindle speed of 2,500 rpm powers the spindle. The lathe features a maximum turning diameter of 24.4″, and it has an extended turning length of 75.5″ for longer work pieces. The extra-wide, 12-station turret employs bi-directional positioning for faster indexing times. The lathe also is equipped with a chip conveyor and a programmable tailstock.
HL-25 DM
FEMCO’s HL-25 DM CNC lathe is designed for high speed precision turning and milling. The lathe features a Durga 23-station, twin disk turret and sub spindle for increased productivity. The turret is said to provide quick setup times and fast chip-to-chip tool changes. This twin disk turret allows for 12 tools for OD turning and 11 tools for ID turning. All ID tool stations can be equipped with radial and axial power-driven tools for maximum turning and milling versatility. The main spindle is equipped with an 8″ chuck and a 20-hp, 4,800 rpm spindle with 2.02″ bar capacity for greater machining capabilities.
