THE CHALLENGE
Seppelfricke Armaturen:
From water taps, gas fittings, heating and connection technologies to intelligent control systems: manufacturers of fittings have to provide a broad range of diverse high-quality products quickly and at reasonable prices. Productivity and efficiency are crucial factors in manufacturing. In order to optimally meet these requirements, Seppelfricke now uses two BTB TRANSFER rotary transfer machines.
OUR SOLUTION
Productivity
About 400 different components, which had to be milled, drilled and turned by means of up to three machines, can now be produced with one single machine – at cycle times between 3.5 and 30 seconds.
CNC Control
One special advantage of rotary transfer machines is the large number of axes with one master and up to three slave controls. Rexroth developed one common user interface for all three IndraMotion MTX control systems and ensured the optimal communication between them.
Versatile and flexible
Every single CNC is able to address up to 64 axes via twelve independent channels. IndraMotion MTX can be used for milling, turning, and drilling processes. The energy- efficient combination of the drive system IndraMotion M and IndraDyn servo motors facilitates precise movements of the axes.
RESULTS
Rexroth drive and CNC control technologies ensure the perfect interplay of up to 64 axes in turning, drilling, and milling processes.
