Fuji (Vernon Hills, IL) offers the ANS-300TTS and ANS-320TTS Twin Turret Automated Shaft Lathes, ideal for high volume applications with short cycle times. Boasting 4-axis simultaneous operation, and Fuji?s own gantry robot, the ANS-300TTS and the ANS-320TTS achieve faster cycle times and faster takt for optimal work piece output.
The rigid box way construction of these lathes ensures superior spindle output. Approximately 50 percent of the process cycle time is reduced by high spindle and cutting thrust. A honeycomb-constructed column enhances rigidity and reduces machine weight. Featuring a compact design, floor space requirements are at a minimum. The footprint of the ANS-300TTS is 5 ft 7 in W x 7 ft D x 9 ft 6 in H and the footprint of the ANS-320TTS is 6 ft 6 in W x 7 ft D x 10 ft 8 in H.
The included Fuji-designed and -built high-speed 2-axis gantry robot enables the ANS-300TTS to carry up to 11 lb + 11 lb, while the ANS-320TTS can carry up to 22 lb + 22 lb. For faster and smoother simultaneous multi-axis movement to access the front, back, left and right of the traverse axis, the ANS-300TTS and the ANS-320TTS are equipped with FUJI?s SP1 Max Robot Controller. A Fanuc 320i-A CNC Control with 5-place decimal positioning control (English); 4-place metric is also included.
Both the ANS-300TTS and the ANS-320TTS operate at a maximum spindle speed of 3,500 rpm and hard turn with a 20 hp spindle motor. Featuring a curvic coupling, the turret heads on each slide are capable of heavy radial force developed during cuts. The programmable traveling tailstock features a long stroke of 13.78 in.
Suitable for machining pinion shafts, turbo charger shafts, input shafts, output shafts, axle shafts, electric motor shafts and more, the ANS-300TTS and the ANS-320TTS machines turn diameters up to 7.1 in and shaft work up to 11.81 in long (with the option to upgrade to the ANS-320TTS to machine shaft work up to 23.62 in long).
