Concept of the vertical turning centers DS, DZS and the vertical 4-axis shaft turning center DWS from RASOMA: Concept DZS: The centres may be operated with two independent compound slide rests enabling parallel machining at the same time. Depending on the respective machine size, the longitudinal slide moves along two or three linear guides and has a ball screw drive or linear drive. Short auxiliary process times: - Linear drive or ball screw drive for the longitudinal slide - Linear drive 100 m/min rapid traverse in the cycle time- determinative X-axis; ball screw drive 75 m/min - Highly dynamic drives for the main spindle and the Z-axis - Turret indexing time < 1 sec. High flexibility: - Tailored to the manufacturing job to be handled - Construction and manufacturing of automation, e.g. gantry, manipulators, gripper components, storage, magazines, conveyor etc. all from the house RASOMA Concept DS: Very high rigidity thanks to: - Separate x- and z-slides (no compound slide) - Upper of the machine designed as welded monoblock filled with polymer concrete High thermal stability thanks to: - Cooled motor spindle - Controlled fume exhaust - Chip conveyor Short ancillary process times: - Rapid traverses of up to 60 m/min at high accelerations; hydraulic weight counterbalance in the vertical axis - Feed and removal of the work piece at speeds of up to 120 m/min, that means loading and unloading of the spindle takes less than 6 seconds - Turret indexing time < 1 sec. High flexibility: - Tailored to the manufacturing job to be handled - Construction and manufacturing of automation, e.g. gantry, manipulators, gripper components, storage, magazines, conveyor etc. all from the house RASOMA Concept DWS: -Two independently controlled compound slides allow the simultaneous processing of shaft-type work pieces up to ca. 600 mm in length with two tools (depending on clamping device and clamping principle). - The firmly mounted headstock and moveable tailstock with fixed center ensure high stability during the processing. - The programmable tailstock force allows flexible sensitivity, so that face driverapplications as well as thin shafts can be machined perfectly. - Process automation can be realized in many ways, for example with our very economic,proven machine integrated and highly flexible RASOMA articulating gantry loader. - The working area is characterized by excellent accessibility to the tool turrets, the motor spindle and the tailstock, as well as by prolemfree chip flow along the 90°-bed edge into the chip conveyor. - To achieve better damping characteristics, multiple ribbed monoblock-machine base is filled with either more or less polymer concrete, depending on the machining application.
