“In keeping with the PrecisionMachining Technology Show (PMTS) theme of ‘Machining Technology,’ Ganesh will show its new multitasking machines with a robotic machine tending system on the main floor of the PMTS-2013, April 16-18, 2013, Booth #263. The Ganesh Cyclone Series with a fully robotic systemare suited formanufacturers that are seeking ways to remain competitive by both getting the part machined in one handling and having ample tooling flexibility to have multiple jobs set up on the machines at one time,” said a Ganesh spokesperson. The Ganesh Cyclone-32 GT: A dedicated pneumatic part loading system will demonstrate the high speed, small part loading capability of the Ganesh Cyclone- 32 GT 3-axis precision heavy-duty gang tool lathe. The loading system provides a solution for small component manufacturers. The Cyclone-32 GT is designed for 1-3/8” bar work, 2nd operation machining and 5” chucking work. The lathe has a 6,000-RPM spindle up to 10 HP, hydraulic clamping, 1” ballscrews and a heavy cast iron bed with C-axis, rigid tapping and toolholders. Gang tool lathe benefits include fast chip-to-chip time, tooling flexibility, 8- position quick-change tooling plates, hydraulic clamping for a secure no-slip grip, rigid tapping, polygon turning and a C-axis with 0.001 resolution. CYCLONE 52-TTMY: At PMTS- 2013 the Ganesh standard robotic machine tending system will be integrated to a Ganesh Cyclone-52 TTMY. The robotic system is a fully automatic, compact solution that utilizes a Yaskawa Motoman robot, and a flexible part infeed / outfeed system that can be configured to accommodate a wide variety of parts and be installed in a matter of hours. The CYCLONE 52-TTMY is an 8- axis machine with dual 16 station turrets. The mill/turn center has 32 live tools with Y-axis on upper turret, full Caxis on main and sub-spindle with 51 mm (2”) bar capability and MITUSBISHIM- 720 CNC control. Themachine features full bar, chuck and shaft machining capability, with 6” chucks. The integral main and integral sub-spindles both feature 6,000 RPM capability for fine surface finishes, as well as a C-axis so that milling and drilling operations can be completed all in one operation on the front and back-side of the work piece. The dual spindle, dual turret machine is suited for complicated parts. CYCLONE 32-CS: The 7-axis machine with 27-tools and 11-live tools will also be cutting parts showing its capabilities for machining 1.375” diameter (36mm) bars. The sliding headstock CNC lathe has no guide bushing. A 10-HP Mitsubishi spindle motor drives the 6,000-RPM spindle. Both the main and sub-spindle use 32 mm Traub A-32 collets for easy part transfer and complete machining in one setup including all radial, end-working and Y-axis live tooling work on both the front and backside of the part. VFM-4024: The VFM-4024 Express vertical machining center is built with meehanite machine construction and weighs 13,228 lbs., with a 43.3” X 19. 68” table size, is capable of 24-station arm type ATC, 1,000 PSIthr u-thespindle coolant ready, 1.7 second tool-to-tool change time, 2.1 second chip-to-chip, rapid rates up to 1,417 inch/min and is equipped with 12,000 RPM direct drive spindle. The X-, Yand Z-axes provide strokes up to 39. 37”, 23.62” and 22.12”. 4th and 5th axis wiring is included. TheMitsubishi M720 CNC control offers high-speed buffered look-ahead and 64 bit processor speed. Ganesh also builds full 5- axis versions of its VFM’s series.
