Machining Technology for Increased Productivity

Fortune International will feature its Vturn-NP16CM CNC lathe with Easyway Robot, Vcenter-P136 vertical machining center (VMC) and Vturn-Q200 multitasking turning center.

Vturn-NP16CM CNC Lathe with Easyway Robot

The Vturn-NP16CM CNC lathe is equipped with a 6" 3-jaw hollow hydraulic chuck, C-axis and BMT-45 live servo turret (12 live tools). It features a standard rear discharge chip conveyor; optional is a right discharge chip conveyor. The lathe utilizes roller type linear guide ways and features a Meehanite casting one-piece slant bed. Rapid feedrates are 1,181/1,181 IPM for both axes. Machine width is only 63" with a standard FANUC spindle motor to save floor space.

The Easyway Robot is seated on the slide ways of the tailstock (which has been removed from the lathe). This robot (parts catcher) has three servo motors to rotate the arms and grippers to transport the parts between work feeder and chuck. Maximum part weight is 6.6 lbs., maximum part diameter is 4.7" and length is 4". The work feeder consists of 10 pallets, each measuring W 6.7" x H 15.7" to load 120 (12 x 10) pieces of parts with maximum diameter of 1.65". Different holes on the pallets can be specified. A turnover station is installed in this cell.

Vcenter-P136 VMC

The Vcenter-P136 VMC has travels of 53.54" x 27.56" x 27.56" and table size of 55" x 28". The standard FANUC spindle motor features 12,000 RPM and a BCV-40 (BIG Plus CT-40) spindle. A FANUC Oi-MF (10.4") with Manual Guide i + AICC-2 (200 blocks) + VSS (Victor Smart System macros) provides user-friendly operation. The VMC has roller type linear guide ways and a Meehanite casting one-piece slant bed. Rapid feedrates are 1,260/1,260/12,60 IPM for all axes. A 30-tool magazine is standard with double arm tool changer, and a cover underneath the magazine blocks chips from entering the magazine when 1,000 PSI coolant is used.

Vturn-Q200 Multitasking Turning Center

The Vturn-Q200 features twin spindles with 33.5 HP build-in FANUC spindle motors. Three BMT-55 type milling turrets with Y-axis allow for quick and quantitative production in less floor space. At IMTS, the T2Y2 model will feature upper-lower turrets, both with Y-axis. The Vturn-Q200 features 48 live tools (3-turret model) for both OP 10 and OP 20 machining applications at a quicker tool exchange time compared to multitasking lathes with an ATC. A robotic parts catcher allows for automation by linking the machine to either a bar feeder or work feeding system for either manual collection or by a part receiver.

Victor Taichung's NC package has a 15" LCD included as standard for the 3-turret models. The 3-D cutting simulation can be executed in Manual Guide I and 2-D online cutting on both spindles can be done simultaneously. FANUC "air bag" function has been integrated into the NC package to minimize damage caused by faulty operation. Minimizing the cutting time difference between OP 10 and OP 20 allows the balance of cutting tempo and maximizes the turning length on twin-turret lathes when deep hole drilling is required. FANUC a (alpha) type motors (instead of ß type) are used for feed axes to assure quick response for high performance operations.
