Something for every workshop on the XYZ Machine Tools Stand at Southern Electronics and Manufacturing
Published: | Industry News
XYZ Machine Tools Ltd, the largest seller of CNC machines in the UK, will have a cross section of their product range on display at Southern Electronics and Manufacturing exhibition. XYZ will be demonstrating the user friendliness of their CNC controls and cutting parts to show productivity gains.
The XYZ 400 UMC aims to bring 5 axis machining to every workshop in the UK through its capacity and price point. Fitted with a 400mm diameter tilt rotary table, driven by a Japanese roller cam drive mechanism, it offers reduced set-up times when manufacturing parts with features on multiple faces or carrying out 5 axis simultaneous operations. The built-in spindle offering 25.7kW (35hp) provides maximum cutting performance to produce parts within the 800mm x 600 x 510mm X, Y and Z axis stroke of the machine. The Siemens Sinumerik One control with a 22-inch touch screen can be enhanced from its 4+1 configuration to take on full 5 axis simultaneous work at placement of order or after delivery to provide a machine to enhance every workshop.
Also on display will be the XYZ 500LR VMC and CT 65 HD turning centre which are also fitted with Siemens controls. The 828D control fitted to these machines with the Jobshop conversational software will demonstrate the user friendliness of the conversational Shopmill and Shopturn packages.
The stand lineup completes with 3 products fitted with the ProtoTRAK RX series 15” touchscreen conversational control. The RLX 355 lathe with a 52mm spindle bore and a 2-speed headstock provides the perfect platform for the production of one off or small batch turned parts with its 225mm swing over the cross slide and 1000mm between centres. Likewise, the RMX 3500 bed mill offers great capacity with 750mm X travel and 480mm Y movement. Still usable in manual mode as well as being programmed using conversational software, the machine will have fitted the DXF option for even quicker part production.
The XYZ 750 TMC will show how the ProtoTRAK control has progressed by controlling the 20-station carousel and 11kW (15hp) BT40 spindle. This “hybrid” machine offers workshops the ability to produce everything from a one-off to high batch numbers while still being able to be used manually.
