Southwestern Industries to Host Atlantic Region Open House



Southwestern Industries, a provider of CNC technology for small lot machining, will showcase its TRAK 2OP portable CNC on April 7-8 at its new showroom in East Hanover, NJ (15 Melanie Lane, Suite 10B, East Hanover, NJ, 07936).

"Designed for second operation machining, the TRAK 2OP streamlines a shop's workflow by bringing an additional spindle quickly and easily to an operator idled by the cycle time of his or her primary machine," said a company spokesperson. "Like all Southwestern Industries' products, it utilizes ProtoTRAK CNC technology with conversational language programming. Programs can be generated either at the machine or remotely to perform tasks normally associated with second operation machining, including drilling, tapping, countersinking, face milling, and the machining of profiles, pockets and bolt hole patterns."

Other TRAK 2OP standard features include an 8-station tool changer that is built to eliminate the need for manual tool changes, built-in Jergens ball locks that facilitate quick changeovers, and a pallet jack. "The latter is designed to allow a person to move the compact (2.5' x 4' footprint) TRAK 2OP to any desired shop location within minutes to improve workflow," said the spokesperson.

Southwestern Industries will also display its TRAK LPM VMC for high-mix, low-volume work as well as the TRAK product line of bed mills, lathes and knee mills. "Like the 2OP, these products feature advanced ProtoTRAK CNC technology," said the spokesperson.

Complimentary lunches will be served and presentations will be provided by the following Southwestern Industries partners:

  • Kennametal: tooling packages
  • Intech Funding Corp: financing/leasing
  • Hardinge: workholding
  • Access Manufacturing Systems: CAMWorks
