Sinico adopts application-specific CNC system for fast changeover

An advanced application-specific CNC system from NUM has helped machine tool manufacturer Sinico to create a fully automated 9-axis rotary transfer cut-off and end-finishing machine for manufacturing volume batches of parts from metal bars and tubes.

Due to the high speed of the CNC system, the new machine is considerably faster than Sinico's previous generation machine.

The new machine: TOP 2000ri

Sinico’s new TOP 2000ri machine is the latest in a long line of flexible chip-removing machine tools, used by manufacturers for a processes that include cutting, facing, chamfering, boring, centring, turning, drilling, threading, tapping and milling.

The machines also handle shaping operations such as flaring, tapering, rolling, pressing, marking and knurling.

Application

Manufacturers can use the machines to produce parts for a range of applications, including hydraulic components, electric motors, industrial chains, power transmission, earth moving machinery and automotive components, as well as contract machining.

Sinico’s new TOP 2000ri can reportedly perform the entire loading and setting of blank bars or tubes takes just 9 seconds, compared to 21 seconds on previous-generation machines. The company says that since this operation is repeated many times during a production run, it helps improve throughput significantly.

Capable of accommodating tubes from 8 to 120mm in diameter and bars from 8 to 80mm, the machine can accept feed material up to 6.5 metres in length and produce parts up to 640 mm in length.

These attributes, combined with its fast changeover capabilities is said to make the machine a supremely flexible solution for manufacturers producing a wide diversity of parts.

Collaboration of new technology

Sinico has used NUM CNC systems on a number of machines and the two companies have a history of collaborating on the development of new cutting and shaping techniques.

In this instance, Sinico chose to base all of the TOP 2000ri's motion control functions on NUM equipment for two key reasons.

Taig cnc machine « To Travel is Better Than to Arrive

Taig cnc machine

I scored a great deal on a Taig, a micro cnc machine.  I was looking forward to learning how to mill and figured this would be the way to go as it would have far more capability than a manual mill.

It’s a big mess of parts, but so far I got it to jog back and forth with the computer using the Linux cnc controller, emc2.  The plan is to eventually put it in a nice enclosure. 

The unit came with a 24volt power supply, but I learned you want to higher voltages for faster speeds.  So, the 24v is being replaced with a 48v linear regulated supply.
