Allways Precision Material Handling Systems Support Centerless Grinding Processes
IMTS 2024: Allways Precision highlights the fast, user-friendly BarMaster Material Handling Systems for the handling of bar stock in and out of centerless grinders.
Allways Precision announces the launch of the BarMaster Material Handling Systems, designed to optimize the handling of bar stock in and out of centerless grinders. This system is engineered to streamline operations, enhance productivity and simplify material handling.
The BarMaster Material Handling Systems are said to be user-friendly and contain advanced automation capabilities. The system can load and unload bars with minimal manual intervention, which can enable continuous operation and minimize the need for adjustments. The system’s intuitive interface and controls can enable operators with minimal training to quickly utilize its functions, which can thereby minimize downtime and maximize efficiency. Automation is at the core of the BarMaster system, with a variety of options intended for ease of use, enhanced setup automation and grinder performance.
The company says that the production benefits of the BarMaster Material Handling Systems are substantial. By automating the loading, unloading, gauging, sorting and handling, customers can achieve faster cycle times and higher throughput. This is said to translate to increased production capacity and reduced operational costs. The system can be equipped to handle multiple grind passes as well, with even greater benefits due to the automation of the material handling, according to the company. All of these features are designed so the system can optimally perform in low-volume/high-mix or high-volume/low-mix operations.
