In Lights-Out Machining, Part Loading Is Not the Problem — Here is How This Shop Handles Unloading

Correct unloading of the parts affects part quality as well as the capacity of the unattended machining system. Here is more of the experience from our “168” shop.

Running Unattended at Night Lets Machine Shop Serve New Customers During Day

Precision Tool Technologies found capacity for diversification not by adding machines, people or space, but by freeing up time. Running unattended—running so it can machine through all 168 hours in the week—has enabled this shop to use hours when staff is present to deliver work that lands outside its established specialty. To achieve unattended machining, some of the biggest challenges have related to basic details such as chips and coolant.

Die Manufacturer Embraces IIoT to Move to Shorter-Run Production

As a punch and die supplier’s customers implemented leaner strategies, it needed to shift to shorter-run manufacturing. An ethernet communications system enabled machine CNCs to communicate with bar feeders to automatically switch part programs without operator intervention.

Using Data to Do Better in Manufacturing

Although the Smart Manufacturing Experience 2018 event in Boston may not have provided a simple, clear definition of “smart manufacturing,” it did provide a broad experience of what smart manufacturing can be like.

Coolant Filtration Kit Applicable to Chip Conveyors

LNS America’s cyclonic coolant filtration kit is designed to extend coolant life and reduce disposal costs by removing fine chips from the fluid before returning it to the machine tool tank.

New to Swiss-Type Turning?

What are some nuances to training a person to effectively operate a Swiss-type lathe? This shop offers some suggestions.

Oil Mist Collection Improves Employee Health, Safety

Using Fox oil mist collectors from LNS America, Staub Machine was able to improve air quality and reduce downtime needed to complete maintenance tasks.

PowerStream VP High-Pressure Coolant System

PowerStream VP from LNS America is a high-pressure coolant system that enables users to program variable pressure outlets to deliver up to 2,000 psi of filtered coolant.

Moving in with a Customer

Shop owner Chris Nachtmann has established a close relationship with one of his biggest customers. In fact, he moved his operation inside that customer’s facility a couple years ago. Now, he’s making greater strides to invest in and grow his business.

Making the Move to Multitasking

Implementing a done-in-one approach to production has to be managed carefully. This shop seems to have made all the right moves in what has turned out to be a truly transformative experience.

An Unexpected Payoff

An Ethernet communications system purchased to improve productivity on one part family ended up having a broader impact on this printing press manufacturer’s business.

Making Lean Connections

When Nilpeter embarked on a lean initiative 14 months ago, no one at the printing press manufacturer had any inkling that they had already taken an important first step.

Automatic Magazine Bar Feeder Loads Short Bars

The Quick Load Servo 80 S2 automatic magazine loader accommodates bar lengths ranging from 14" to 63" (not to exceed the spindle length) and diameters ranging from 1/4" to 3 1/8" (6 to 80 mm).

Versatile Chip Conveyor

LNS Group offers the chip conveyor Turbo MH500 as well as a high-pressure coolant system, the PowerStream SA.

Chasco Turns On Success By Turning Out The Lights

Jeff Roth, president of Chasco Machine, knew he needed reliable equipment to successfully implement unattended operation. Bar feeders and a chip conveyor from LNS helped the shop make the most of its move to lights-out manufacturing.

Lathe and Feeder Talk Via Ethernet Interface

Research into the connectivity and communication between machine tools and equipment like bar feeders, part unloaders, pallet systems and even high-pressure coolant systems is yielding useful ability on the shop floor. In this case, LNS uses Internet technology in its S65 bar feeder to communicate with a PC-based Fanuc CNC running a Mori-Seiki NZ2000 lathe.

It Begins With Belief

This shop’s approach to unattended machining focuses on the big picture.

Machining Centers Create Special Chip Conveying Requirements

The capability of cells of machining centers to perform a variety of functions in one location can boost productivity. As a component of lean manufacturing, these flexible systems may reduce the number of times parts are touched during a series of machining processes. However, the overall efficiency of these cells can suffer because of inefficient chip conveyance and coolant management systems.

A Study Of The Steady Rest

When the length and stiffness of a workpiece make it difficult to machine, many turn to the steady rest.

Automatic Bar Feeds Enable Unattended Operation

Remaining economically viable is a typical concern of all businesses. This is especially true for A-Line Tech (Binghamton, New York), a diversified automotive industry supplier that was concerned about losing a major contract for proprietary fastener components to competitors.
