Linea Spindle is a linear multi spindle
with opposed vertical spindles
Only a 15 minute set-up time!
Compared to traditional bar stock fed multi spindles, this 4-spindle CNC machine guarantees higher precision, versatility, production flexibility and waste reduction. The particular strength of Linea Spindle is the reduction of the set-up time to just 15 minutes. This is possible due to the architecture and organization of the multi spindle itself, which is divided into two totally independent work areas. This allows you not only to replace a tool, but also to fully retool the machine without stopping the production cycle. Machine downtimes are thus kept to an absolute minimum, leading to important savings in the production process.
Linea Spindle is a CNC machine that is ideal for sectors needing the production of extremely large families of pieces, such as for hydraulics, oil hydraulics, automotive, fittings, and so on.
CNC multi spindle screews machine: set up time of only 15 minutes
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.
Linea Spindle in the production of lead-free brass valves
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 most innovative multi spindle screw machines
LINEA SPINDLE is a new concept of production turning centre with a patented linear mechanism that has already found numerous applications in the production of precision components for various hi-tech sectors, such as the automotive, aerospace, hydraulics and pneumatics industries.
The multi spindle screw machine conquers the valve industry
Linea Spindle: an idea, a design, an intuition, a real revolution. A design that came to life after forty years in which Gianfranco Sala, founder of Sala Srl, focused on turning machines working with vertical spindles arranged in line. These machines have conquered the valve market around the world thanks to their precision, production capacity and ergonomics.
In fact, these features were the starting point to resolve the problems of many companies.
Linea Spindle: one single CNC multi spindle for all working phases
The customer Ford Meter Box with headquarters in the State of Indiana is an important manufacturer of hydraulic components and ball valves which contacted Sala Srl to solve a problem:
PROBLEM – Manufacture ball valves, but developing a more productive, efficient and flexible plant, compared to machines already used.
The challenge was highly ambitious since the characteristics to meet were multiple and rather difficult to integrate in a single machine.
