In the world of bar turning, the most common production system is machining from bar. Why? Because it is the most logical. It is no coincidence that practically all single and multi-spindle machines use it: it is by far the most common system for most turned parts. This is a fact.
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.
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.
