CNC Single Spindle Screw Machine and Upgraded Brownies Meet Tight Tolerances and Increase Productivity Exponentially!
Mansfield, OH — Rable Machine Inc., manufacturer of precision machined parts and assemblies for the oil, gas, pump and valve, medical, aerospace and automation industries improves production exponentially with the implementation of the AMT's UltraTurn XL CNC-based single-spindle screw machine, and by equipping several of their Brownies with ServoCam UltraSlide upgrades and UltraTurn CL systems from AMT Machine Systems Ltd. of Columbus, OH.
The UltraSlide systems precisely synchronize the CNC turret-slide actuator to the existing camshaft. The UltraTurn CL systems add control of all slides and the spindle, through the transmission. The ServoCam technology provides outstanding operating efficiencies, allowing jobs to run 20-40 percent faster, and substantially increases effectiveness of its employees.
According to Jim Feustel, cell leader in the Brown Sharpe department, the AMT's UltraTurn XL CNC-based single-spindle screw machine has improved production by 40 percent over the Brown & Sharpes.
Features include:
• Full CNC control of all the slides and the spindles
• On-machine programming
• Safety-latched enclosure
• Servo-controlled turret indexing
• Eliminates the spindle clutches, chains and transmission.
Mr. Feustel, indicated that the set-up time is the greatest benefit of the UltraTurn because there are no cams to remove and put on, and no gearing to change on the machines. "You have the capability to set your tooling off the machine and also preset your tools, allowing you to just go in and out." He sees it more like a CNC than a Brown & Sharpe and says it is more precise, with the repeatability equivalent to cams.
Rable is an ESOP-owned company, occupying a 53,000-square-foor-facility with an extensive line of equipment including 20 CNC turning centers, eight Swiss machines, 16 Brown & Sharpes and 20 machining centers. To allow maximum machine output and ensure the quality of their parts consistently meet tight tolerance requirements, Rable has adopted the lean manufacturing and cellular manufacturing philosophies.
