FUJI Introduces High Efficiency ANS-300TTS and ANS-320TTS Twin Turret Automated Shaft Lathes
Vernon Hills, IL - (July 21, 2008) New from Fuji, the ANS-300TTS and ANS-320TTS Twin Turret Automated Shaft Lathes are ideal for high volume applications with short cycle times. Boasting 4-axis simultaneous operation, and Fuji's own gantry robot, the ANS-300TTS and the ANS-320TTS achieve faster cycle times and faster takt for optimal work piece output.
The rigid box way construction of these lathes ensures superior spindle output. Approximately 50% of the process cycle time is reduced by high spindle and cutting thrust. A honeycomb-constructed column enhances rigidity and reduces machine weight. Featuring a compact design, floor space requirements are at a minimum. The footprint of the ANS-300TTS is 5'7" W x 7' D x 9'6" H and the footprint of the ANS-320TTS is 6'6" W x 7' D x 10'8" H.
The included Fuji-designed and -built high-speed 2-axis gantry robot enables the ANS-300TTS to carry up to 11 lbs. + 11 lbs., while the ANS-320TTS can carry up to 22 lbs. + 22 lbs. For faster and smoother simultaneous multi-axis movement to access the front, back, left and right of the traverse axis, the ANS-300TTS and the ANS-320TTS are equipped with FUJI's SP1 Max Robot Controller. A Fanuc 320i-A CNC Control with 5-place decimal positioning control (English); 4-place metric is also included.
Both the ANS-300TTS and the ANS-320TTS operate at a maximum spindle speed of 3,500 rpm and hard turn with a 20hp spindle motor. Featuring a curvic coupling, the turret heads on each slide are capable of heavy radial force developed during cuts. The programmable traveling tailstock features a long stroke of 13.78".
Suitable for machining pinion shafts, turbo charger shafts, input shafts, output shafts, axle shafts, electric motor shafts and more, the ANS-300TTS and the ANS-320TTS machines turn diameters up to 7.1" and shaft work up to 11.81" long (with the option to upgrade to the ANS-320TTS to machine shaft work up to 23.62" long).
FUJI turns the machining of a part into process perfection. When you contact FUJI, the part you will be machining is analyzed by engineers with vast experience in process and manufacturing engineering. With the largest install base at the major automotive manufacturers, FUJI engineers apply their experience with the FUJI machines that are built for automation from the ground up. These highly accurate machines employ built-in robotic automation, in-process auto gauging for quality control, and are engineered with the finest FUJI custom workholding, all from one source. This allows FUJI engineers to guarantee takt time, cycle time and CPK with turnkey and run-off solutions that are built for lean manufacturing. Using less manpower and more automation, FUJI machines produce the highest quality parts most efficiently and reliably. FUJI solutions are supported by factory-trained American engineers 24/7.
