Robotic machine tending system is a multitasker

GANESH Cyclone Series with fully robotic system new machine models are well-suited for those who are thinking about how to remain competitive by both getting the job done in one handling and having ample tooling flexibility to have multiple jobs setup on the machines at one time. The series was unveiled at the PMTS 2013 last month.

A dedicated pneumatic part loading system will demonstrate high speed, small part loading capability on the Ganesh Cyclone-32GT 3-axis precision heavy duty gang tool lathe. The load system provides a low cost solution for small component manufacturers. For 1-3/8” Bar work, 2nd Operation machining & 5” Chucking work, 6,000-RPM, Up to 10-HP, Hydraulic Clamping, 1” Ballscrews & Heavy Cast Iron Bed with C-Axis, Rigid Tapping, Toolholders, Gang Tool Advantage: Fastest Chip-to-Chip Time, More Tooling Flexibility, 8-Position Quick-Change tooling plates, Hydraulic Clamping for a secure no-slip grip, Rigid tapping & Polygon turning, High-Performance “C”-axis with 0.001 resolution.

CYCLONE 52-TTMY The Ganesh standard robotic machine tending system will be integrated to a Ganesh Cyclone-52 TTMY. The robotic system is a fully automatic, compact solution that utilizes a Yaskawa Motoman robot, and a flexible part infeed / outfeed system that can be easily configured to accommodate a wide variety of parts and be installed in the matter of hours. 8-axis, Dual 16 Station turrets 32 live tools mill/turn center with “Y” axis on upper turret, full “C” axis on main & sub spindle with, 51mm (2”) bar capability, MITUSBISHI M-720 CNC control. Featuring full bar, chuck, and shaft machining capability, with 6” chucks. The integral main and integral sub-spindle spindles both feature 6,000 rpm capability for fine surface finishes, as well as a “C” axis so that milling and drilling operations can be completed all in one operation on the front and back-side of the work piece. Dual spindle dual turret machine perfectly suited for complicated parts.

CYCLONE 32-CS The 7-axis machine with 27-tools and 11-live tools will also be cutting demos showing the unique capabilities that it has to offer for 1.375” (36mm) bar diameter sliding headstock CNC lathe without a guide bushing. A 10-HP Mitsubishi spindle motor drives the powerful 6,000-RPM spindle. Both the main and sub spindle use 32mm Traub A-32 collets for easy part transfer and complete “done-in-one” machining efficiency, including all radial, end-working, and Y-axis live tooling work on both the front and backside of the partNike EPIC React Flyknit
