LICO, a
leading manufacturer of automatic
lathes in Taiwan, recently announced a newly
developed automatic bar machine, LICO CNC
Multi-Slide Automatic lathe, models LNT26/36
and LNT 42/65. Combining the advantages of
cam operated automatics and modern CNC
multi-axis control technology, the result
will
provide fast set up and easy operation for
both
experienced and non experienced operators.
This newly
designed automatic lathe comprises
of four compound cross slides and an all
tool
driven 8-position turret mounted on top of a
5 th
compound slide with one set of tool holders
as
standard equipment.
The cross
slides perform longitudinal turning,
complex contouring, thread chasing, part off
...ect with single point carbide tipped
tools. Up
to three tools can do machining at the same
time for reducing working cycle time.
The turret
tools are designed with VDI tooling
system. The tools performing drilling,
boring, ID
threading, recessing, live tools to do cross
drilling, tapping, milling, slotting on OD,
and off
center drilling, tapping, slotting... on
face end.
A synchronous
driven Pick-Off Device on turret.
can pick up a part off work piece perform
back
machining while the main spincle is doing
the
reular turning on the second work piece.
This
set up will further increase the real
productivity.
Over lapped
machining with multi-slide tools is
the major key point of this automatic lathe.
Normally, it will perform 3-5 times faster
than
other conventional CNC lathes.
