A medical manufacturer proves why a high mix of complex work need not deter any manufacturer from automation, whether via robot or pallet system.   

The advance of automation makes in-house cutting tool regrinding more accessible. An automated measurement cycle adjusts the tool path in grinding operations to make regrinding simpler to program and easier to automate.

Mazak’s Syncrex models feature seven-, eight- and nine-axis configurations and are optimized for high-production of small parts. The machines accommodate a maximum of 35 tools.

High toolholder gripping torque reduces the likelihood that a tool will slip within a toolholder during a cutting operation. A mechanical toolholder design provides a very high gripping torque via a worm gear that compresses a shallow-taper collet tightly around a tool shank.

Bringing CNC into a previously manual process set this shop on a lean path that has led to continuous flow production.

 The Quest CHNC turning center is available with either a 27-mm, 5C or a 42-mm, 16C collet-ready spindle. The machine is designed for high accuracy and quick job changeover to meet the demands of the medical, aerospace, defense and computer/electronics industries. This design configuration allows the use of top plates and tooling used on thousands of previous-generation CHNC machine installations worldwide.
