Dial Index Machining

Project Title

Piston Machining and Core Removal

Finished Product


Project Description

Automated transfer and machining of cast part and high-pressure removal of casting core. Inbound parts are located on a power and free transfer line and robot-loaded to the machining dial. Two horizontal servo spindles perform the machining operations. Once machined, parts are indexed through a high-pressure core removal station and a low pressure rinse station. Finished parts are removed to the transfer line.

Features

  • 15 second machine cycle
  • Stainless Steel machine base, dial cover, and canopy
  • Custom OD Clamping Fixtures
  • 5-axis Robotic material handling
  • Wet vacuum chip and sediment collection system
  • High pressure (250 bar) water supply system

Benefits

  • Increased production rate with decreased labor
  • Corrosion resistant designs and material selections resulting in extended machine life
  • Future change-over allowed for different part types
