to the vector of the cut, prevents nozzles from ending up aimed at the wrong place, losing the benefit of high-performance, high-pressure coolant systems.” DMG / Mori Seiki is using its CTX and NTX mill turns for five-axis turning.
Same Progressive Machining on Rear Side as Front Side
The SC Series of multispindle turn- ing machines from Schütte (Jackson, MI) provide the user with the ability to do the same progressive multispindle machining on the backside that is done on the front side without unclamping the part. “The SC Series has revolver turrets very much like a CNC lathe with multiple tools at each spindle position for redundant tooling and precision machining on the part,” said C. James Trunk, president and CEO. “In the multispindle world for real production machining, the limiting factor to pro- ductivity and cycle time is always how much rear-side machining is required. It generally controls the entire process time. With the SC platform, and having multiple counterspindles with multiple tooling, we’ve taken that limitation com- pletely off the table,” said Trunk. “The other challenge in the multi- spindle turning world is holding true position and concentricity in rear side machining. When we transfer the part from the front side to the back side for rear side machining, we do it by trans- ferring the entire collet chuck, mandrel, or whatever holding fixture for the part is being used on the front side with the part clamped in it. We never release the part or unclamp it in any way. This enables us to pick up any feature that was done on the front side on the back side and hold perfect concentricity and true position. With multiple counter- spindle positions, we have more than one backworking spindle working on the
part at one time, enabling us to do progressive machining on the rear side,” said Trunk.
The SC Series is available in four models; two with seven spindles and two with nine spindles for machining 32 and
