Machine Tool Repair and Calibration
Heyen also notes that Servo can custom tailor their CNC packages to fit specific machine requirements, whether it’s a new installation or a retrofit replacement for an old unreliable control. Servo also has a network of approximately 250 dealers throughout the U.S.A. After reaching out to MachMotion for a solution to their JetEdge controller dilemma, HydroSolutions was able to talk through their applications, concerns, and vision they had for updating their waterjet. It was identified during a demonstration that it was identified that adding a servo motor to the Z-axis would be very beneficial to their application and production needs. The addition of the servo to the Z-axis would allow their machine to pierce accurately while cutting and move upward to ensure that the tips wouldn’t drag or crash. This wasn’t something they had even considered before discovering this was possible in the demo.
Machine Tool Technology is a calibration, maintenance and repair company that has been in business for eighteen years. We specialize CNC Machine Maintenance CT in every area of CNC machine of tool service and support. When was the last time you checked the alignment of your machines?
HydroSolution’s machine is a very unique Jet Edge waterjet cutter. This gantry model has one Z-axis with 4 cutting jets that allow them to cut multiple parts at the same time. They were well aware that this Jet Edge waterjet would not be easily replaced. Upgrading the controls to reclaim the waterjet and give it a second life was the best resolution to keep them in production. The control system was wearing down from a mechanical aspect with the ballscrews being worn out.
Software programs for SMT placement and AOI Inspection machines from CAD or Gerber. The best to way to keep your customers happy is to deliver components with Quality that conforms to the requirements. For those of you who know me, you know I give praise to those who have earned it and deserve it! You also know I have let the service personal or the companies they work for know how I felt when their work was not satisfactory. I have called the Presidents and owners of companies to let them know how our problems with the machines were not solved. We do more of this specialized work than any firm in the region, and have credentials and experience unmatched in the tri-state.
Machine tool accuracy evaluation using the Renishaw QC20 Wireless Ballbar and XL80 laser interferometer. Star automations provides complete solutions for the support and maintenance of high value electronic Printed Circuit Boards and modules. Correct alignment lock selection will reduce maintenance costs, molding downtime and increase part quality over the mold’s entire life.
Our Corporate Office and 1.5 acre Facility is located in Willis, Texas. Every Technician is Equipped with a Laptop, & internet access for Instant Transmission and Retrieval of Data and Reports . With MTT’s EForm Documentation Platform You Always have the Documents You Need When You Need Them, ELECTRONICALLY.
A laser maintains the Rotation Tool Center Point function, which is another feature that the Fidia control software manages. The laser will accurately measure the length and diameter of the cutter at each tool change, which provides for a continuously accurate height setting on the mold from cutter to cutter. The Fidia control shown here is one of the first retrofitted systems that Century Tool and Gage had installed on a CNC machine. The first control was fitted onto a Heyligenstaedt vertical mill in 1987. Today, the company has more than 30 Fidia controls with plans to add more in the near future. This machine had for it's control an Allen Bradley CNC. We replaced it with a Dynapath Delta 50 CNC.
The objective function intended to achieve minimum out-of-roundness, minimum surface roughness, and maximum productivity . The solutions were ordered by their desirabilities; desirability is a measure of achieving the target quality and processing parameters. Consequently, an optimum could be achieved at the maximum desirability. Feed ratio, 7 passes, and 200 RPM mandrel rotational speed with a desirability of 0.85 (Fig.21). The corresponding out-of-roundness and surface roughness values are 70 μm and 1.18 μm with improvement of 65% and 26% respectively. CNC spinning machine is similar to a conventional lathe with some differences in its operation.
Have you noticed the machinist is having a tough time holding tolerances? Maybe it’s time you have MTR realign your machinery, or at least inspect it. With our high-tech laser calibration unit, an MTR technician can come in and inspect your machine and make any adjustments necessary to get your machine back to OEM specifications. Our assembly floor consists of over 150,000 square feet of high bay space, heavy duty concrete floors two feet thick and has been renovated with several 60 Ton cranes and modern heating and lighting systems. MTR service technicians are capable of rebuilding and servicing your machine in the field or at our facility. And since machine tools are usually the largest capital cost component in a shop, manufacturers have to consider whether they need to invest in new machine tools or upgrade their existing equipment.
Initially, the laser tells us what to correct, and once corrected the laser provides certified performance results traceable to internationally-recognized standards. And since most quality standards require ongoing conformance testing, a program of periodic inspection will ensure that this requirement is met. It appears to be a conflict between the minimum roundness error and minimum surface roughness indicators. A compromise is necessary to optimize the spun cup quality in terms of both out-of-roundness and surface roughness together with the productivity . A min–max optimization approach was performed using Design-Expert 7 software.
We offer preventative maintenance programs, emergency repairs, contract maintenance, used machinery inspection, evaluations, troubleshooting, and recommendations. Our management and technical staff bring together critical disciplines from machinery design, manufacturing, overhaul and service. A conventional center lathe machine has been selected as a good candidate for the CNC retrofit. The main spindle motor power is 7.5 kW and main spindle speed range is (12–1200) revolution per minute which are quite satisfactory for a spinning process.
The roller is tilted 25° to the original surface of the sheet and homed to the initial position relative to the blank. Figure15 shows cup products manufactured by the CNC retrofitted machine with different mandrel diameters, hence variable spinning ratios. On each of Century Tool’s CNC mills, the Fidia control provides automatic scaling features for each axis to translate CNC program parameters to fit the size of the workpiece.
Using our state-of-the-art lasering equipment, we can calibrate your machine to precision alignment and give you custom computer-generated reports to show you exact outcomes of laser aligning. Let our technicians install your new or used machinery the right way. KES Machine Tools has been leading the field of CNC repair, CNC retrofits and laser calibration since the year 2000.
