Introducing the labor-saving solution by combining the Tokyo Seimitsu (TOSEI) precision measuring instrument and the TAKAMAZ lathe that was showcased at the 2022 private show of Takamatsu Machinery (Thailand).
In this demonstration equipment, TAKAMAZ CNC lathe "XW-60" and Tokyo Seimitsu (TOSEI) in-process/post-process dual-use control unit "PULCOM-V10A" are combined.
By measuring the workpiece directly after machining, the manual workpiece removal and measuring operations are reduced. The solution contributing to improved work efficiency.
In the past, the design of such automated solutions was often commissioned to the head office, but this time, the entire process, from equipment design to assembly, is being carried out in Thailand.
▲The optional accessories that carry the workpiece to the measurement area are all manufactured in Thailand.
In Japan, we have a lot of experience with measuring-instrument-mounted lathes, but in Thailand, we believe that full-fledged needs will come from now on. As higher machining accuracy is demanded in Thailand these days, precision measurement will become more and more important. This is our recommended solution that can meet such future demands. Another key point is that the system is not fully automated, but rather “semi-automated”, making it versatile and adaptable to a wide range of manufacturing sites with various conditions.
＜The advantages of the solution by Tokyo Seimitsu (TOSEI) Precision Measuring Instruments + TAKAMAZ Lathe＞
・Reduced measurement time for machined workpieces
Normally, lathe-machined workpieces are taken out and inspected each time to ensure that they have been machined according to the specification, but with this solution, they can be automatically inspected without being taken out after machining, allowing immediate OK/Not OK judgments. In the case of Not OK, additional machinings can be performed without removing the workpiece, saving time and labor.
・Automatic feedback of measurement data to the lathe to improve machining accuracy
Measurement data after workpiece machining is fed back to the lathe and corrected to improve the machining accuracy itself.
