The manufactured machine is a linear multi spindle lathe for the production of lead-free brass components demanded by the valve market in order to comply with increasingly stringent international health and environmental regulations. Today, we will cover and analyse this machine, its features and uses. The features of this linear multi spindle lathe are perfectly suited to processing lead-free brass components, which are generally much more difficult to machine with cutting tools than leaded materials, (whether brass or and steel).
The problem of long chips is a challenge, and difficult to solve completely. What can be done is to manage chips in a slightly different way, for example, using special ergonomic arrangements of vertical spindles to help with chip extraction.
Set-up time is at the heart of Linea Spindle’s design, with a set-up time of only 15 minutes! But let’s start at the beginning. What is set-up time? Set-up time is the time that elapses from finishing the last unit of a production series to starting the first of another. One of the aspects you need to address if you want to remain flexible in responding to market demands is precisely the rigidity of production processed characterized by high tooling and production change times.
