The HSM that designs for nicety, efficient production only processes unit

) , found 1959. The company is had but the manufacturing workshop of adjusting control temperature, in its 30000ft2(1ft2=0.

On the floor area of 0929m2) , still set the workshop of company of Vision Technical Molding (VTM) , use at the mould production of product of special low public errand, sophisticated medical treatment. In the meantime, VTM company also offers QC mould sample for AM&M company. AM&M company takes up the workshop area of 18000 Ft2, share 65 employee to execute every week two 6 days pour duty. AM&M company produces about 200 patterns every year, treatment is as high as the material of 300t above, its size range of pipe bent arrives from stainless steel black lead electrode, multi-purpose at making component of small-sized, exact pattern. The job that AM&M company has 20% about is finished by VTM company. The working key of AM&M company is the element that offers complex, precision to the market, in order to satisfy car, medical treatment, consumable / the demand of kind of industry such as electronic component. Year of sale of this company for 11 million dollar, develop continuously with year of increase rate of 10% , it is OK that AM&M is certain rise ceaselessly along the curve of sexes of such a rich challenge from beginning to end. Of course, AM&M company also felt the competition that comes from China, because serve as a main developing country, in the applied cavalcade that China also hopes to be able to enter new technology agog. After using HSM to process unit, the process capability of AM&M company raised president Mr Steven Arnold of close 300%AM&M company to say: "If wait for time, quality and service the element to consider inside, the cost gap between the pattern that China creates and our product can narrow very quickly. Because we are providing a service for the client,the side has an advantage, because quality error, distance is mixed,most client cannot tolerate debug the project incur loss through delay that waits for a reason to cause, sometimes the client also needs to undertake rapid modification to the design. " Mr Arnold also believes firmly AM&M company can have stronger competition ability, offer the pattern with more mixed interior to make even, implementation is comprehensive examine first-rate. As a result of the pressure of crop and more strict to precision respect requirement, AM&M company must not be absent its add a high speed to machine on foundation of original treatment facilities (HSM) unit system. In Feburary 2005, AM&M company installed two Mikron HSM 400 machine tool, this equipment is introduced from the Lincolnshire area of Illinois city, deserve to 10 is versed in an automation tray system, can offer contain manipulator to place 90 electrode clamping apparatus; The vertical of 42000r/min of 3 axes, rotate speed machines milling machine, each are contained change knife system automatically, knife library can be accommodated be as high as 68 cutting tool. These two equipment all have laser cutting tool to detect ability and compensation ability. In addition, when workpiece alternates or set value is changed, come from Erowa technology company (the Arlington Heights area in Illinois city) manipulator can change tray. And changing when black lead electrode, it also can change automatically pincers. Of automation level rise be helpful for efficient production. Through using manipulator tray system, this treatment unit can undertake in unit process of cargo bandling set is worth going up to expect and be debugged, the manufacturing time of whole system is lengthened, a lot of craft need not intervene artificially. To increase the flexibility of equipment to the greastest extent, each Mikron 400 machine tool set plant of clamp of automation cutting tool, of cutting tool change can finish inside 3s. Use this kind of device that change a knife special economy is practical, shortened operation time, comfortable cut at getting, the treatment of the craft such as heavy aperture and tap. AM&M company shows, new treatment is installed unitly and debug progress very successful. The company machines this easily unit and the manipulator of Erowa cutting tool that design technically is to unite a form a complete set to use. After perch is being installed 4 days in join, this company begins to throw this machine tool production. New pattern machined unit to replace milling machine of two beds type, in order to satisfy manufacturing demand and quality standard. Original equipment needs artificial feed a machine and extra operation staff. The adoption with new unit treatment also is to reduce the weight of machine tool component and various sort, lest affect the treatment precision of the machine tool. Rise as what produce the temperature inside the workshop, equipment temperature also rises subsequently, because this needs to have ceaseless examination and hot compensation, in order to accord with requirement of processing technique norms. Mr Arnold says: "Very apparent, the use of HSM technology has made the company is in the position with lead technology. Today, in maintain treatment precision while, we go to attention how to reduce delivery substantially centrally time and raise productivity to go up. " according to CNC electrode / the view of manager of department of treatment of high speed milling machine Mr Vincent Brown, new treatment unit had finished expectant working job. He complements: "After using HSM to process unit, our process capability had risen near 300% . We are very satisfactory also to new process designing software, its alter the ability of priority, and to systematic input new job job is mixed remote the ability that monitoring operates, the job that lets us had very big improvement. " coordinate a gender as a result of the whole that height has between Mikron 400 machine tool and manipulator, because this debugs time,already also dropped lowermost limit. The time haply that produces mould part is equivalent to only the half of handling time is controlled before. After these two milling machine are united in wedlock together, produce time on average to be 240h about every week. Machine among them precision and repeat precision to also have very big rise. Mr Brown explanation says: "We can install the electrode that reachs 100 different figure and size inside this one system. Laser probe can compensate Z axis, and below the circumstance that the machine tool can intervene in nobody, complete the others work automatically. " he continues to say: "Machine unit place according to new HSM given speed, precision and repeatability, be aimed at the requirement that raises before, undertake calibration, examination is mixed for many times adjust, make machine unit to hold moving position. Because yield rises substantially, the amount that workpiece produces soars, this makes instead of workpiece examine become bottleneck issue. " get rising besides productivity beyond, the production that AM&M company still noticed to systematic software allows lot of moderate size produces a change, it is for system of milling of this common to using mould be not constant difficulty or be the thing that does impossibly almost. Mr Arnold explanation says: "Recently, a client asks we are changed firstly project of consumptive electron project, make in the two put into production inside Zhou Zhi. We are opposite very quickly the technological process in processing unit and working priority were done afresh adjust, satisfied the client's requirement, did not affect final delivery time almost. " Mr Arnold says: "Market competition is intense with each passing day, the product life cycle that manufacturer place is faced with shortens ceaselessly, because the batch in this produces project classics,regular meeting happening changes. Use HSM system software, company can aborning is fast make response, offer compensation in time. This software also can be offerred remote monitoring and call the police. " Mr Brown points out: "I often inspect the working condition inside the workshop in the home. The system still can call the police to me, inform my some to change or some is bit more decision-making. Such, I can halt the production of some part according to circumstance of this one change, continue to pursue a job on product line next. " be in not far in the future, the reamer of CNC numerical control that AM&M company plans to machine HSM unit and Charmilles company joins together, in order to raise the automation rate of pull current Cheng. Like processing unit as HSM, current, the equipment of Charmilles company also is only when the 2nd job, use remote of monitoring nobody turn an operation. When once use new software to operate these two link,be together, the productivity of the company will rise greatly. Mr Arnold claims: "In the automation strategy that implements in us, according to below one logical step, we will discharge HSM treatment unit and our EDM processing sector is united in wedlock together. Adopt this kind of right technology to combine a form, we can satisfy the client's requirement, can hold competitive position. We can be inside 4 weeks delivery time, finish new pattern make, even if form is complex muti_function the mould is not exceptional also. Even if form is complex muti_function the mould is not exceptional also.. CNC Milling
