High precision machining and high volume production don’t always go hand-in-hand. That’s why Swiss watch makers developed sliding headstock turning machines that achieve both goals.
High precision machining and high volume production don’t always go hand-in-hand. That’s why Swiss watch makers developed sliding headstock turning machines that achieve both goals.
According to Mark Walker of Gosiger High Volume.
According to Gosiger’s David Cogswell, the common theme expressed by attendees of the 2013 Medical Design & Manufacturing Show West was a desire to improve or expand their manufacturing capabilities. “The people I spoke with were company owners, manufacturing engineers and other production people looking for better ways to make their products, and to expand their businesses.” This, of course, bodes well for both the manufacturing sector and the overall economy.
BTB Transfer, Bovezzo Italy, demonstrates how high output / quick changeover metal cast machining solutions can go hand in hand without sacrificing a manufacturer’s future flexibility. Transfer machining solutions are known for fast cycle times, small footprints, high accuracy and reduced labor costs. On the downside, a transfer solution can also mean a loss of flexibility and long changeovers, especially when a solution needs to address the many part numbers contained in a single or multiple family of parts. BTB’s new M10 transfer machine takes aim with a serious solution. The platform delivers 5 axis (3 axis machining + 2 axis clamping) horizontal and vertical machining capability at 5 of the machines’ 6 stations. Additionally, each horizontal and vertical station utilizes a 6 tool, tool changer for a total of 60 available tools. The machine is a viable alternative to multiple, stand-alone machining centers for the mid- high volume manufacturer. BTB Transfer is sold and serviced exclusively in North America by Gosiger High Volume, Dayton OH.
