Original Press Release:
3-Axis Module-Mation(TM) MM400 Manufacturing Cell Series; Now Available for Cutting Demonstrations
Grafton, WI, SKF Precision Technologies, a division of SKF USA Inc., announces the introduction of a new reconfigurable Module-Mation(TM) 3-Axis Manufacturing Cell. Ready for part runoffs in its Grafton, Wisconsin facility, the Module-Mation MM400 3-axis or 4-axis module is designed for use in the automotive, die-cast machining and high-volume manufacturing where flexibility in metal cutting is required.
MM400 uses reconfigurable elements: spindle, column position, way style, compound X-Z or Z-Y to deliver more flexible and economical manufacturing cell solutions. It is designed to provide stiffness and responsiveness to its machining capabilities of aluminum, cast iron or steel.
One in a series of three 3-axis stations, the MM400 module parameters includes a 500mm Z-axis, a 400mm X-axis and a 400mm Y-axis. The unit offers a traverse rate of 950 inches per minute, an acceleration rate of 80 inches per /sec./sec. and thrust of 3000 lbs. psi.
MM400 accepts 40 or 50 Milling Taper or HSK 63 tooling. Spindle selection also includes a 24,000 RPM, 22kW, high-speed integrally motorized spindle; a high-torque, belt-driven spindle; or a 6-position indexing turret head.
The control-ready modules are equipped with the following standard features: limit switches, lubrication systems, piping, wiring, steel way covers and pneumatic counterbalance. A full CNC station is also available as standard.
