PRECISION

A core element for our multicenter Chrono is the production of the piece in a trusted and accurate manner according to the productive requirements.

We propose the automation of the Chrono multi-spindle with a robot in different solutions:

Optimizing the critical factors of integration, mechanical, hardware and software.
Providing the end user with the completed and certified plant with “Turnkey” solutions in processing islands with vision systems.

Therefore:

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO YOUR BUSINESS WITH CHRONO?

Compared to different productive solutions, single-spindles or double-spindles machining centers, Chrono has its advantages, in addition to a very high productivity:

fewer human resources employed
fewer costs in tools and equipment
smaller footprint
less energy expenses

SPEED OF EXECUTION

Having 3 spindles which work simultaneously, Chrono lowers the cycle time, and it increases the production flow, reducing the necessity of inventory in the warehouse.

SMALL FOOTPRINT

Chrono, with 3 machining centers and 4 workstations, covers almost 33 sqm as for the machine itself and for its installations, the latter have a particular set which is easily accessible to the maintenance operations.

CHRONO MULTITASKING – U AXIS FOR TURNING

The machining centers can be equipped with a “U” axis, recess integrated, which is able to turn the external and internal outlines, thread with a single-edged tool and perform facing operations by completing the working in machine, in order to execute the piece according to the guaranteed cycle times.

CHRONO, MULTI-SPINDLE MACHINING CENTER WITH 4 AXES

The base version of Chrono has 3 or 4 machining centers linked to each other by 4 or 5 stations with continuously rotating axes.

One station is available for loading and unloading operations while the other machining centers are working. This version is for options where the cycle time is a decisive factor.

CHRONO, MULTI-SPINDLE MACHINING CENTER WITH 5 AXES

The production of complex pieces, with four axes, compels a repositioning of the item. This could not be possible because of the tolerance of the piece. To this need other advantages can be added with the presence of a fifth axis:

Overall increase of the quality, not always followed by a rise of the cycle times
Savings on piece clamping equipment as the requested production varies, also seen in the future
Reduction of machine retooling
Logistics savings: simplification and cost reduction of machine automation activities
