PR New Machine from Varnsdorf TOS VARNSDORF a.s., a company located in the north of the <strong>Czech</strong> Republic, in the foothills of the Lužické hory Mountains, is this year marking 115 years since its founding. Its core programme is the development, manufacture, sale, and servicing of machine tools, specifically horizontal boring and milling machines, used for the machining of work pieces in sizes of from 1 cu. m with final production precision of parts at the level of hundredths of a millimetre. WHR 13 Q machine Each year, the company presents at least one novel item, usually during the Customer Days, which have become a popular and widely visited event and an opportunity to present products using interesting technologies in full operation. Three years ago, the company presented a big table-type machine, WRD 180/200 H, in full workload, fitted with hydrostatic guidance on all the linear axes. This principle enables the construction of the heaviest machines, for the time being with a 200 mm diameter of the working spindle. One year before, it presented its WHR 13 (Q) machine, derived from the best-selling WHN 13 machine, with the difference being that it is fitted with a slide ram. In autumn 2015, the company´s light horizontal boring and milling machine, WRD 13 (Q), also derived from the above-mentioned WHR 13 (Q), had its world premiere at EMO, the largest machine tool trade show. Another new machine presented recently is the WHtec 130 machining centre, which is already in regular operation in the firm. Last year, a new generation WHT 110 C machining centre was presented at the following EMO trade show. This machine, too, is already in full operation. The concept of these new machining centres makes it possible to extend the offer also to other segments of the market, as it makes the use of carouseling possible. The above-mentioned new machines actually comprise the entire range of manufactured machines, because the company´s focus is on table-type horizontal boring and milling machines, desk-type horizontal boring and milling machines, and horizontal machining centres. Last year´s successful premiere of the new series of the WHT machining centres was followed by the presentation of another member of the new machine tool series, the WHT 130 C, which had its world premiere at the TOS Customer Day in June. This is a horizontal machine tool, suitable for the most demanding operations requiring precise boring, thread cutting, carouseling, and milling. Machines of the WHT series can be designed as machining centres with a wide range of auxiliary devices, such as automatic technological pallet changer, special accessories, auxiliary carousel tables and a number of other devices meeting the requirements of even the most demanding applications in sectors such as the aviation industry, the energy industry, earthworks, the oil industry, and general engineering. These machines are suitable for both piece and serial production. The new machine tool and machining centre series was developed on request from customers for modern production. After nearly six years of development, which comprised first the development of the spindle units, followed by the frame and finally the application of auxiliary devices, technically unique machines have appeared in the market, whose performance, multifunctionality, operational convenience and unique design signify unique value added for customers. The priorities of these machines are their performance, universal use, multifunctionality, easy operation and service, and integration of the Industry 4.0 principles. The properties and capabilities of the new machining centres from Varnsdorf greatly increase the possibilities of metalworking. | 42
