NEW PRODUCTS – NEW PRODUCTS – NEW PRODUCTS AUTOMATION READY PRODUCTION TURNING CENTRES FROM WARD CNC Now available from stock from TW Ward CNC Machinery Ltd (Ward CNC) is the Takisawa TT1100GC twin-spindle turning centre and the single-spindle TCC1100GA. Unlike many twin-spindle machines in the marketplace, the impressive Takisawa TT1100GC is a gantry loaded machine that has been designed to take productivity, precision and performance to a new level for manufacturers in the automotive, electronic, medical and general engineering sectors. The gantry loading and unloading turning cell with an in-built component stocking system is the perfect partner for lights-out machining of precision small parts. With both spindles mounted on a singlepiece rigid bed casting, this machine incorporates precision hardened and ground box slideways and a high-speed servo turret. Emphasising the speed of this machine is the ultrafast loading and unloading of parts. Capable of loading components in 1.7 seconds, the loader is positioned at the front of the machining chamber to significantly reduce the loading distance and the spindle moves forward to the loading position, reducing component transition times further. The load/unload system works in tandem with a supply and discharge station that is integrated into the machine envelope to minimise the machine footprint. The station can be configured as a three-guide bar type or as a centre pole type station with the part gripper available as a parallel or swivel type hand. Added to this, the machine incorporates a peripheral modular unit that presents a measuring unit, washing unit, part positioning via a camera system, phase determining unit and a turnover transfer unit. The machine has a compact footprint of 2.8 by 3.3m including stocker and swarf conveyor. Within the machine’s envelope is a 6-inch chucking machine that has a maximum turning diameter of 140mm and a turning length up to 121mm with X and Z- axis travel of 160 and 260mm respectively. So, if you are looking for a machine that can produce parts up to 80mm diameter with incredible speed, the Takisawa TT1100GC is the machine of choice. It is driven by a 5.5/3.7kW spindle motor capable of reaching 4500rpm and it demonstrates impressive power and torque levels for high material removal rates on the most challenging of materials. Flexibility for the most challenging of components that demand one-hit machining is derived from the two 10+10 toolholders that can accommodate square shank tools up to 20mm and round tools to 25mm. The one-hit capabilities are further enhanced by a turnover unit that allows simultaneous front and back machining. With sustainability and the environment being a key consideration for Ward CNC, the Sheffield company is delighted to introduce the new energy-efficient systems within the Japanese manufactured Takisawa TT1100GC. This includes a regenerative energy system that returns power to the supply when the motor decelerates. Additional environmentally friendly features include an internal lighting shut-off function that reduces standby power, a control panel cooling design that takes natural radiation into account to reduce electric power and much more. www.wardcnc.com WALTER EXPANDS TIGER·TEC SILVER WSM45X RANGE Tiger·tec Silver WSM45X indexable inserts for other shoulder and copy milling cutters from Walter Walter now offers the high-performance Tiger·tec Silver WSM45X indexable insert grade for ISO S for titanium and heat resistant alloys and M for austenitic stainless steels for the Xtra·tec XT range of M5130 shoulder milling cutters, the M5468 copy milling cutters, the M5008 high-feed milling cutters and the BLAXX F5041 and F5141 shoulder milling cutters. The combination of the special substrate, which is wear-resistant yet tough, with an Aluminium Oxide coating is the only one of its kind on the market and ensures a high level of process reliability. The coating protects the substrate against excessive heat and is extremely smooth enabling a high level of productivity and superior resistance to the formation of build-up on the cutting edge. This makes the Tiger·tec Silver WSM45X grade a proven problem-solver, particularly when it comes to roughing titanium alloys in the aerospace industry and when machining stainless steel. The two-tone Tiger·tec Silver coating is designed to ease the detection of edge wear. Typical components that are machined using the WSM45X grade are exhaust turbochargers, turbine blades and titanium structural components for the aircraft industry. In addition to the new program extension, the Tiger·tec Silver WSM45X range of inserts is already available across the previously launched Xtra·tec XT and M4000 universal milling system platforms which include face milling cutters, shoulder milling cutters, high-feed milling cutters, octagonal insert and copy milling cutters. www.walter-tools.com 20 Manufacturing Machinery World, April 2022
