Southwestern Industries to Host Factory Showroom Open House



Southwestern Industries will showcase its TRAK 2OP portable VMC December 6 - 7 at its factory showroom open house in Rancho Dominguez, CA.

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. Like all Southwestern Industries' products, it utilizes ProtoTRAK CNC technology with easy to learn and use 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 eight-station tool changer that eliminates 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.

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

Complimentary lunches will be provided.
