The HAAS UMC750, 5-axis machining is an effective means to reduce setups and increase accuracy for multi-sided and complex parts. The Haas UMC Series universal machining centers are effective solutions for 3+2 machining and simultaneous 5-axis machining. The UMC-750 has an integrated dual-axis trunnion table with a 500 mm diameter platter that features standard T-slots and a precision pilot bore for fixturing versatility. The trunnion provides +120 and -35 degrees of tilt and 360 degrees of rotation to provide excellent tool clearance and large part capacity.

The OB7 COBOT  “no programming” user interface, making job teaching simple and fast. With a 7-axis robot arm design, each robot provides extreme flexibility, maneuverability, and seamless integration into existing workstations and can impact a wide range of industries.

The MX-330 PC10 is precision, 5-axis machining center that comes standard with a 10-pallet changer. The MX-330, configured with 10 pallets and 90 tools, provides reliable unmanned 5-axis production, and offers a large work envelope in a compact footprint. The MX-330’s intuitive controls and full simultaneous 5-axis capability allows machine shops to meet their customers’ increasing demand for shorter lead-times and higher tolerances across multiple faces.

 The DT-1 is a compact, high-speed drill and tap machine with full milling capabilities. A powerful BT30 taper inline direct-drive spindle provides 10,000 rpm, and allows high-speed rigid tapping. A high-speed, 20-pocket tool changer swaps tools quickly, while 2400 ipm rapids and high acceleration rates shorten cycle times and reduce non-cutting time.

JPM’s 7.10.7 Brown & Sharpe Global® Advantage Silver Edition Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is an advanced flexible gauging system that can handle any measurement and inspection task quickly and efficiently. This machine is the most advanced package available that provides the combined performance of accuracy and speed. It comes standard with a high performance analog scanning probe,advanced software with CAD and additional capabilities. The Advantage model also includes the highest performance drives of all Global Silver Edition designs, bringing its top acceleration to 4.3m/s2, for maximum measuring throughput.

JPM’s Okuma Genos M560-V Three-Axis Vertical Machining Center is top-of-the-line in the Okuma Genos M series of three-axis vertical machining centers. Its specifications are solid evidence of its powerful capabilities.

The Okuma Genos M560-V Three-Axis Vertical Machining Center is a highly rigid, thermally-stable machine that withstands thermal deformation. This reduces thermal growth and improves machining performance.

A unique Collision Avoidance System is built into the M560-V. As machines become more complex, involving additional axes, automation, and setup changing, there’s more room for human error. Many applications and development tools concentrate on the cutting and forget about the hazard of collision.

Okuma’s Collision Avoidance System (CAS) integrates 3D modeling of its machines, blanks and tooling with the power of the THINC-OSP Control to create a virtual machine. By running the real-time virtual application seconds ahead of the actual cutting, problems can be detected early and the machine stopped before a costly collision.

CAS generates the actual and exact shape of the materials milliseconds ahead of a cut to confirm that no interference takes place. Virtual Modeling requires exacting dimensions and definitions that only Okuma can deliver because it manufactures the machine and custom-creates its applications.

Machining Navi, an Okuma invention, is also built into the M560-V machining center. Chatter is fairly common in the world of CNC machining. Okuma Machining Navi chooses optimal speed(s) at which the machine can avoid chatter, thereby saving operator time and maximizing productivity.

The Thermo-Friendly Concept is another feature of the M560-V. Okuma’s Thermo-Friendly Concept combines control technology and machine design to both minimize the amount of heat generated and deal with the heat that cannot be eliminated. Coupled with extremely accurate thermal deformation compensation, the benefit is unrivaled dimensional stability over long, continuous runs. No longer is time and money wasted warming the machine up and making manual adjustments for temperature changes.

MARUBENI CITIZEN-CINCOM K16E VII SWISS PRECISION SCREW MACHINES

JPM’s state-of-the-art Swiss precision screw machines are essential for production of a wide range of high-accuracy, complex parts. A rigid machine bed combined with exceptional thermal stability ensures the precision of the machines.

Featuring the all-axis simultaneous Cincom System M7 Control (Mitsubishi Meldas 70LPC), its standard seven cutting axes (X1, Y1, Z1, X2, Z2, C1, C2) and one loader axis (A7) can make easy work of the toughest applications and reduce idle times by 40% to 50%. The user-friendly editing function employs multi-line, multi-axes programming, along with superimposed and synchronized control to handle the most complex jobs. The K16E offers an unmatched array of functions necessary for high-end production operations.

MFI MODEL HZ-160 HIGH ENERGY FINISHING MACHINE

JPM uses the MFI Model HZ-160, one of the largest and most powerful HZ Series High Energy Finishing Machines available. This machine enables JPM to meet the special needs of a broad range of clients.

The variable frequency speed control permits fine finishing and polishing at slower speeds and aggressive deburring and edge radiusing at higher speeds. Four barrels are mounted at the periphery of a large turret. Each barrel is loaded with media, parts and water to approximately 50% to 90% full.

During operation, rotation of the large turret creates a centrifugal force on the media and parts inside each barrel. This force compacts the load into a tight mass causing the media and parts to slide against each other, removing burrs and creating superior finishes. This action also reduces the cycle time needed to complete the finishing of the parts by up to a factor of 30 over conventional vibratory and barrel tumbling. Hand finishing operations can be efficiently and economically automated with the HZ series machines. Results with this centrifugal barrel finishing equipment are consistent and predictable, every time.
