MAG Cincinnati has begun take-off roll for TECT
Aerospace on a high-powered cell for automated machining of large titanium
airframe components. The TECT order covers a three-machine five-axis machining
cell and processing methodology. Ordered for TECT's Wellington, KS,
manufacturing plant, the CINCRON Cell system integrates three MEGA 5 five-axis
800 mm horizontal machining centers (HMCs).
The order includes "teamkey" development of the machining process, fixturing, programming and tooling. MAG Maintenance Technologies, a sister organization to MAG Cincinnati, will provide the tooling and final run-off.
MEGA 5 machining centers feature high-torque, 6,000 RPM HSK100A spindles, production-proven workhorses for roughing and finishing of titanium and other hard materials. The MEGA 5 features 180-degree tilt spindle and CNC-controlled pallet rotation to perform 5-axis contouring of complex parts. The horizontal machining centers employs twin 800 x 800 mm ISO pallets and automatic pallet change to optimize in-cut time. All MAG Cincinnati MEGA HMCs come standard with cell-ready interface.
"CINCRON cells provide a high degree of process automation with a rail-guided vehicle (RGV) performing delivery and load of pre-fixtured workpieces and unload/transport of completed machined parts," said a spokesperson. "CINCRON cells can be configured for machining centers from 500 to 1,600 mm pallet capability and consistently deliver 90-percent and greater spindle utilization. Modular components allow easy expansion to meet new production requirements. A number of CINCRON cells have been expanded four and five times.
