SHIMADA-KITAKO 2SI-6 2-spindle+Single Turret

Description

The 2SI models uniquely connect two spindles, while one of two spindles is machining, the other spindle is loading and unloading a workpiece. This 2-Spindle 1NC lathe was developed from the architecture of "reducing idle time to the utmost limit."

FEATURES
01
While the 1st spindle performs machining, the 2nd spindle performs
loading/unloading
▶Simultaneous Machining and Loading.
Achieving zero-second loading!

02
Equipped with two chucks,
a single machine can perform machining both the front and back sides of a workpiece, resulting in process-intensive machining.

03
The unique external loading spindle design allows easy access to the chuck for setup with great ease.

BENEFITS
01
A lathe with a high operation rate close to 100 % cutting time ratio. Significantly reduces cycle time and improves productivity!

02
When compared with a single-spindle lathe that can only perform one process at a time,
the 2SI can do the work of two machines by machining the front(OP10) and back(OP20) sides of finished products.
As a result, the numbers of machines will be half, half space requirement and a significant reduction in capital investment.

03
One chuck is located outside the partition door enable easy robotic access, also manual loading, and chuck changeover. The robot can be mounted on the machine without extra mounting space.
