OIL PARTS MACHINING
shale formations to release oil or gas. “Perforating guns, which are 20' [6-m] long and about 4½" [114 mm] in diame- ter, are used in multiples to blow through the well casing into the rock formation, while frack guns, in multiple 3' [0.90-m]-
long sections, use ultra-high-pressure liquid and silicon to fracture formations,” said Scott. “Deep subsea drilling programs typically involve very large parts like blowout preventers [BOP] that are up to 75' [23-m] tall, valves and pumps of all types, and big drill bits—parts that are often processed on Mazak’s Integrex e-670H Multi-Tasking Machine, for instance,” said Scott. “Two different types of drill bits are the single head PCD drill bit that is 26" [660 mm] in diameter and the tri cone bit with tung- sten carbide that can drill holes 6–30" [152–762 mm] in diameter. PCD drill bits are machined in two operations on the Integrex e-670H reducing shop time by more than a third and provid- ing agile production for low-volume product mix compared with four or fi ve milling and turning operations on conventional machines.”

The FVL-1250VTC is perfect for heavy-duty turning applications. And with the optional live tooling function and the series offers additional flexible machining capabilities to make more complex workpieces with one machine.
The cross-rail elevation system uses two large ballscrews for positioning and can be locked in any position with four independent hydraulic break systems. Result: The spindle RAM is able to more closely approach a workpiece, thus eliminating an overhang problem.
The unique patent lock mechanism has eight hydraulic locking cylinders with curvic coupling to assure the turning holder is perfectly stationary on RAM. You get highly rigidity without vibration or cutting chatter. Plus no transfer of stress on the RAM spindle bearings, which substantially prolongs spindle life.
It’s powerful. The enormous 60HP FANUC digital spindle motor, with a two- speed gearbox, generates up to 11,461Nm of torque in lower 37rpm. The optional Live Tooling models can easily handle up to M30 tap or 50mm drill with tough material.

One machine tool builder is also exploring the potential for a large premium-priced trunnion-style HMC that has proven itself in machining diffi cult-to-machine metals like Inconel and titanium for aerospace applica- tions. “The HU100-5X series machining centers delivers 2000 ft-lb [2711 N•m] of torque with a 10" [254-mm] face mill and would be well-suited for faster metal removal machining forged pump housings. Also drill bits are getting larg- er, reaching 40" [1016-mm] diameter, making them well-suited for large meter trunnion machining centers,” said Scott Walker, president, Mitsui Seiki USA Inc. (Franklin Lakes, NJ).
