3 Frederick Crowther swarf management systems have now arrived. These have been bought in to replace our old and inefficient sytems. Always looking for ways to improve the efficiency of the workshop.
Investing in the latest machinery and technology requires ancillary services to help program and drive the machinery. Hypermill is the perfect CAD system to complement our Integrex I-200ST, Variaxis 630 and soon to be delivered Mazak Palletech.
We’ve made it to the show!!!! Stand is up and looking good, all the hard team work with the revamp of the Track branding and design of the stand has paid off. Look forward to seeing you all.
We are pleased to be up and running on our recent investment in Zoller’s TMS software. This fantastic system is used to manage our cutting tools and tool assembly’s. With the aid of this equipment we can easily and quickly set tools ready to be stored in the machine tools with the minimum of fuss. This machine is the perfect edition to work alongside our Mazak Variaxis.
We are exhibiting at Subcon 2016 again. The show will be on 7th – 9th June, We hoping existing customers as well as new aquaintances come on to the stand for a chat and admire our updated branding!!
Another investment in to the latest technology helps us improve efficiency and accuracy of measurement ensuring that all customers have peace of mind that they will recieve high quality component parts.
Our latest addition to our milling department is now operational:
Mazak VARIAXIS 630-5X II
The VARIAXIS vertical machining center has advanced multiple-surface, simultaneous 5-axis machining capabilities for accurately processing parts with complex profiled surfaces in single setups.
Twin Pallet, 12,000 rpm Spindle, 80 tools with RFID data pull studs, Renishaw probing & Renishaw NC-4 laser non-contact measurement, Full 5 axis simultaneous axis control, Temperature controlled spindle and ball screws, High pressure coolant and swarf management, 630mm x 500mm working envelope (500kg max weight).
With our three Multiplex’s successfully machining components 24 hours a day we were presented with the opportunity to buy a fourth from Germany. It was deemed too good of an opportunity to miss and therefore the decision was taken and the machine has made the journey to Amersham.
This 6200Y model boasts a Y-Axis and an advanced gantry robot for loading and unloading the work pieces. This allows billet work to run lights out and therefore can drastically reduce costs.
