It is neither a single spindle lathe nor a classical multispindle one and also not a classical transfer machine. It benefits from a very small footprint and can be fed by coil or with a classical bar feeder and reaches high productivity outputs. It’s a wolf rotary table machine. Meeting at EMO with Ms Ilona Steinecke Sales manager of the German company.
The TSM 280 machine is based on a rotary indexing principle and has been designed specifically for the production of parts for medium to large batch sizes (between 10’000 and 15 million parts). The central element of the Wolf TSM 280 is the clamping plate that is arranged vertically in the centre providing 8 or respectively 16 hydraulically operated workpiece holding fixtures.
Diverse simultaneous machining reduce non-productive times It is possible to machine simultaneously on both sides using up to 15 tools. By default, the machining units are controlled mechanically and/or alternatively via CNC axes. Thanks to its wide spectrum of use, the possibility of implementing different machining processes and the continuous controllability of all machining spindles, the TSM 280 can replace various machines and can be used even in confined spaces.
Flexible… With its modular structure, the TSM 280 is well suited for customised process design – be it for a specific product or for an entire product family. A large number of additional units are available for the implementation of new processes. Thanks to short set-up times and very good accessibility during tool changes, a wide range of different workpieces can be produced on a single machine. The feeds, spindle speeds and thus also the cycle times of the workpieces to be manufactured can be set continuously.
…compact, precise… The TSM 280 is a highly efficient rotary table transfer machine dedicated to the execution of complex production processes on a single, extremely flexible production unit. A wide range of workpieces can be machined, be it cold extrusion parts, tubes, turned parts, straight turned parts or bar / coil stock – the TSM 280 guarantees reliable and cost-effective production performance for many different industries.
... customized… In order to increase productivity, the company specialists’ can give customers advice for the manufacturing processes, from the analysis of their production and their products through customised machine design.
..and highly productive! If there is a category where we can see it’s not a "classical means of production", it’s productivity. It is possible to machine parts up to 120 parts/minute (obviously depending on the part).
