High-speed boring and milling machines Colgar Srl (Cornaredo, Italy;
www.colgar.it) new FV high-speed line features boring and milling machines that are among few on the market to include a monolithic column with integrated bases and a central headstock. Axis movement is along linear guides, which improves speed, stiffness and ease of use. Fre- quency checking allows the machines to perform rough- ing, finishing and boring. The FV is available as either a “T” type or with a movable col- umn. The machine features structure dimensioning, eval- uated according to cutting frequency, which supports maximum metal removal.

www.remacontrol.it) can be operated in three, four, or five- axis modes with generous work areas and X axis travel up to 12,000 mm, Y axis up to 800 mm and Z axis motion up to 800 mm. Options include high-speed (24,000 rpm) spindles, models with tilting
and turning tables and heavy-duty performance features. With company headquarters, main manufacturing operations, and service and spare parts operations in Stezzano, Rema Control is adjacent to the Milan airport and two additional regional Ital- ian airports, assuring service, parts, and customer contact are at the forefront of our efforts.
Pallet change systems There are significant advantages to automating palletizing systems: the re- duction of machining downtime and the increase of productive cycle efficiency. A pallet change system by Rotomors SpA (Torino, Italy;
www.rotomors.com) on a vertical lathe or machining center eliminates downtime caused by the
piece loading and unloading. Because the workpiece can be machined outside of the machine, the production process is less constrained. Palletizing also improves safety conditions for the operator and allows for untended running of the machines. Manual pallet changing can later be transformed into an auto- mated system, thus boosting production as needed.
