ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL, February 28, 2023 -
Efficiency and productivity are critical factors for success in today's fast-paced manufacturing industry. To maintain a competitive edge, manufacturers must continually seek new ways to optimize their processes and increase throughput. For this reason, the introduction of automation capabilities in machine tools has revolutionized the manufacturing landscape.
By enabling machinists to minimize downtime between operations and automatically loading and unloading workpieces, machine automation maximizes throughput while reducing production costs. With the voice of the customer in mind, Shibaura Machine offers several machine tools with automation options. This article will highlight the machine automation of the TMD series of Vertical Boring & Turning Mills which provide a precision machine tool designed for high-accuracy, high-productivity manufacturing of large and heavy parts.
Automation Made Easy
The automation options available for the TMD series help to minimize downtime between machining operations, allowing for the machine to run continuously without the need for manual intervention. This not only increases productivity but also helps to reduce labor costs and improve overall efficiency.
Pallet Changer
One of the key features of the TMD series is its pallet changer system. The addition of the pallet changer allows for the automatic quick and easy exchange of workpieces. The pallet changer system is designed to minimize downtime between machining operations, which helps to maximize productivity and throughput.
Pallet Pool
The TMD series is also available with a pallet pool system, which provides even greater flexibility and efficiency in manufacturing. The pallet pool system allows for the automatic loading and unloading of workpieces by storing multiple pallets, which means that the machine can run continuously without the need for manual intervention.
