Victor Taichung: 8 unmanned cells

TAIWAN Business.EU l company profiles Victor Taichung presents 8 unmanned cells Located in exhibition Hall No.1 with largest booth 32m x 24m (768 m2) at entrance, Victor Taichung Machinery will present 7 unmanned cells including 9 off CNC machines and 1 unique “Cobot” (collaborative robot) cell offered by Fanuc® Japan. 4 brain new models are launched for TMTS show, and all the cells are monitored with SCADA system on line to illustrate the application of Industry 4.0 to global visitors. Exhibits are classified by 3 categories: Category-A Turning and milling by one machine with robot: Compact lathe Vturn-NP16 with scara robot EWR-03 built inside forms a compact cell at floor space 2.5 m x 2.2 m only. Part changeover time is only 7 seconds minimizes idle time for highest productivity ideal for small part less than 3 kgs. For larger or heavier parts, gantry robot mounted at the top of lathes plays a better role than scara robot at less floor space. Following the narrow & compact features, the new turning center Vturn-NP20CM with 8” chuck and turning length 400mm coped with gantry robot is debut at TMTS for unmanned operation. Cleaning station (by Ultrasonic) and Measuring station (for measuring part OD) are included in cell for on-line successive inspection on every part to ensure part accuracy. Another new model Vturn-S26 with 10” chuck and turning length 600mm is built in similar way for turning bigger parts. Gantry robot is mounted at the top with the intelligent sensor on the gripper work feeder to detect if the part is well loaded to avoid faulty operation caused by the robot or by the careless operators New turning center Vturn-S26CM with BMT-65 milling turret integrates another type of Measuring station (by CCD camera) to show the in-process inspection in unmanned cell. Machining center Vcenter-P76 cooperated with Universal® Robot to how show an articulated robot replaces a machine operator for part loading/unloading. This robot collaborates safely with machine operator who could take care of several cells in workshop without intensive training. www.victortaichung.com/machine-tools advertising www.taiwanbusiness.eu 23
