. Tolerances are typically ±0.001" [0.03 mm], but we can hold much tighter with the Hyundai F750B. The seal is probably 3' [0.9 m] in diameter, and while in this case the part is aluminum and not very heavy, we run parts on the same machine that weigh more than 2000 lb [907 kg]. Part programming is done off-line via solid modeling on SolidWorks. The program is loaded to a data card, which is then transferred to the Fanuc control, and it’s as simple as touching the part, locating it, and run- ning. SolidWorks displays the subplate, so they know where the material is at all times,” said Leonard. “The Hyundai WIA machines are


able to handle light and delicate materi- als as well as very heavy, tough and rough-cutting materials. A good exam- ple is our machining of Stellite, which is as tough and rough-cutting as you can get. Stellite has been a big part of our business for probably 15 years. We got into it because of increasing demand for superhard fi nishes. We made the equipment investment, sent personnel to Houston for Stellite training, and now we offer a wide range of coating materi- als—cobalt and nickel-based alloys, superalloys and alloy steels—that meet all requirements of the power genera- tion industry for protection against heat, corrosion, erosion and wear. Our clients include most of the signifi cant players in power generation, and we apply Stel- lite on all of their parts, specifi cally after the part has been roughed and prior to fi nish machining.” Seeley Machine applies Stellite 6


powder to rough-machined round and/ or fl at metal surfaces using the plasma transferred arc (PTA) method of welding, which melts the powder and creates a slurry or plasma overlay on the surface. When the Stellite surface becomes very hard, it is corrosion


resistant, wear resistant and has high resistance to galling, making it able to survive severe environments. “It’s really a magic bullet for industries that require these hard surfaces,

Minimag 20 Get Advanced ProductivityWith Precise, Rapid Bar Changes


automatic magazine style bar feeder for processing bars in the diameter range of 2-20mm and in lengths from 12’ to 14’ on CNC lathes. Equipped with a Swiss type headstock synchronization device, peck drilling and threading on small diameter bars is simple and done with close tolerances.


T he FMB Turbo 2-20 is the finest quality


Equipped with a Swiss type headstock synchronization device, peck drilling and threading on small diameter bars is simple and done with extremely close tolerances. This device also allows the Turbo 2-20 to be compatible with fast moving, sliding headstock lathes. The Turbo 2-20 utilizes a dual bar pusher design to shorten the overall length of the bar feeder by 28” compared to


the overall length of other 12 ft. magazine bar feeders.


Oil filled guide channels provide the ideal hydro-dynamic system while reducing noise and vibration. These quick-change polyurethane guide channels offer fast changeovers to different size bar stock. Within a few minutes the bar feeder is converted to the new channel set.


Edge Technologies, a staff of dedicated professionals with over 25 years experience, stand ready to show you a better way to feed stock.


To increase the productivity on your Swiss type lathe, the FMB Turbo 2-20 is the smart choice.
