• Operate semi automatically, combining manual and CNC operations
• CNC CONTROL 8055i/A by FAGOR

OPERATING MODES:

1. Manual – the lathe is operated like a conversational lathe, using the 2 electronic hand wheels in the front to move the axes. In addition if offers convenient features such as digital readout and constant surface speed.
2. Semiautomatic – it allows 2 axes to be controlled with the cranking of 1 hand wheel; the machinist can cut arcs, tapers and chamfers.
3. Automatic – with ability to execute any program, plus background editing capability. Powerful tool inspection mode included as well as full program control from keyboard programs to choose from, the 8085i/A will control everything from start to finish.
4. Single step – the machinist can go through all or part of the process by executing the program step by step.

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE:

1. Conversational – icon key with conversational graphic screens for easy operator data input. No prior programming experience needed
2. G-code – this programming enables utilization of some sophisticated features such as parametric or variable programming. Auto –prompt via the help key prompts operator though graphic & text help screens.

PROGRAMMING TOOLS

• Teach-in mode – the first part can be made manually while the control records the corresponding program, and then additional parts can be made in automatic mode.
• Canned Cycles – by selecting the associated ICON key or G-code, the CNC will prompt you through all canned cycles including Turning, Facing, Grooving and Threading, All equipped with a Thread Repair Canned Cycle.
• On-board profile editor for easy blue print programming. Simply enter the data right off the blueprint, the CNC automatically creates the program including complex profiles..
• Solid graphic as standard with tool shape representation standard and available for use in both
• Execution and Simulation mode, Also with line graphic capability.

The Sharp SVX- 500 vertical machining center is engineered to have unrivaled quality and outperform all other machines in its category. Sharp's SVX-500 allows true 5-sided and 5-axis simultaneous machining.

SHARP INDUSTRIES, INC. of Torrance, California, a machine tool manufacturer, is introducing a new line of Compact Linear Guideway Vertical Machining Centers with high spindle speed (up to 20,000 rpm, direct drive), fast rapid traverse, and small foot print.

The compact size model SVL2416 has X, Y, Z travel of 24” x 16” x 18”, different spindle speeds (10,000, 12,000, 15,000 and 20,000 rpm) for various applications. The CAT-40 spindle has the motor delivers up to 10 HP of power at 30 min rating. The machine can be equipped with Fanuc 0i-MD control or the Siemens Sinumerik 828 control that has the “Shop Mill” conversational style programming. USB ports, Embedded Ethernet are located at the control panel for easy transfer of machining data. Electric cabinet heat exchanger, Rigid tapping, Electronic Handwheel (MPG) are included in the standard features. The productivity package also includes a hand held coolant gun for washing the work piece and the inside of the machine enclosure, an air blower nozzle for cutting dry, and an air gun to clear chips on work piece. It also includes the ATC air reserve tank with alarm to stabilize the incoming air pressure and volume, plus the spindle oil chiller that provides refrigerated oil circulating around the spindle to draw heat from it to control the thermal expansion due to high speed spindle. Optional accessories to improve productivity includes: Rotary table, Coolant Through Spindle, Glass scales, Tool Probe, and Tool Setter.

The machine construction consists of Meehanite casting components, a fully enclosed metal enclosure with over sized, removable side doors, high precision linear roller ball system, and double anchored, pre-tensioned double nut ball screws.

Sharp Industries, Inc of Torrance, California is now offering a large size Vertical Bed Type Milling Machine, Model KMA-5H. The KMA-5H features a travel range of 98" x 31.5" x 27.5", a 106" x 30" table and a 20 HP vertical head.   The #50 taper vertical spindle is equipped with hi-low gear and high power frequency drive inverter to deliver high torque with variable speed change.  The vertical head is driven by servo motor allowing variable speed vertical travel. The KMA-5H is also equipped with a separate horizontal head mounted at the side of the column,  the head moves up and down with a range of 27.5” and is also driven by a servo motor to allow variable speed travel.  The KMA-5H has a 7.5 HP spindle motor and #50 taper, such design for a machine with two spindles, allows vertical and horizontal boring or milling operations to be done in one set up. The KMA-5H greatly increases efficiency and accuracy on large work pieces. The oversize table has extra outboard support in addition to the wide machine base, offering more stability in heavy milling and boring applications. X and Y axis travel is also driven by servo motors allowing smooth and variable speed traverse. All three axes are equipped with pneumatic lock device and electronic hand wheel (MPG) for easy movement of the huge table and heads.

Major castings are made from honeycomb ribbed castings for maximum vibration dampening features. All box ways are hardened and ground to maintain durability under heavy duty machining. Machine wt. over 30,000 lbs.
