Southwestern Industries to Host Illinois and Ohio Open House Events

Southwestern Industries will showcase its TRAK 2OP portable VMC on December 14, 2016, at its showroom in Elk Grove Village, IL (1612 Landmeier Road, Unit G, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007), and on December 15, 2016, at its showroom in Dayton, OH (5685 Webster Street, Dayton, OH 45414).

The TRAK 2OP portable VMC is placed adjacent to a VMC to form a “work cell on demand” or “cell on the fly

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 8-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 machining center 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.

A complimentary lunch will be provided.
