EMAG, a worldwide leader in manufacturing systems for precision metal components, will debut four machines to the North American market at IMTS this year, while showcasing several others. IMTS is September 10-15, 2018, in Chicago. EMAG will be in the South Hall Booth 339436.
New to North America are the VLC 200 GT, HLC 150 H, VLC 50 TWIN, and the CI 400. Other machines featured will include the VL 3 DUO, VT 4, and the Eldec MIND-M 250. In addition, EMAG will have a display of its industry 4.0 options. Details on the machines to be displayed are:
The VLC 200 GT turning/grinding machine for chucked components is especially designed for precise, process-reliable, and cost-effective manufacturing in medium- and large-scale production. Typical workpieces machined on the VLC 200 GT include gears, sprockets, sliding sleeves, and parts for CVT gears. The machine combines the benefits of vertical hard turning with those of grinding on a single machine and in a single clamping operation.
The HLC 150 H offers high-performance technology and the capability to produce a wide variety of workpieces, from gear shafts and armature, to pinions and planetary gears, with a maximum length of up to 500 millimeters (20 inches).
The VLC 50 TWIN offers simultaneous machining for highly productive manufacturing. Featuring two main spindles in one machining area, it can simultaneously machine two identical workpieces, allowing for a significant increase in output quantities and a lower cost/piece. The diameter and length of both components can be corrected independently of one another. The machine also has a direct position measuring system and a linear motor in the X-axis to ensure the highest machining quality and maximum productivity.
The CI 400 is a well-suited solution for the electro-chemical machining of rotor carriers. Rotor carriers are components of electric motor housings for hybrid vehicles and are being produced in increasing numbers. Electro-chemical machining offers decisive benefits for the production of these parts.
The VL 3 DUO turning machines combine the technological developments of recent years, including pick-up automation and the TrackMotion automation system, to the modular basic design of the CNC machine. This creates an extremely efficient production system offering maximum productivity with minimal space requirements. Like every EMAG modular turning machine, the VL 3 DUO multi-spindle machines are equipped with their own parts storage unit and a pick-up spindle for each work area.
VT 4 lathes offer maximum efficiency in shaft production. They feature short cycle times, high precision, and safe processing, among other attributes of shaft machining on the running machines of the VT series. These lathes literally stand the classical horizontal machining process on its head.
The Eldec MIND-M 250 is a compact hardening system for basic heat treatment of checked parts and shafts, provided by EMAG eldec. Heat-treatment tasks are performed at 30kW in high-frequency applications and 100kW in medium frequency.
