A Machine Like No Other
This just may be the Rotary Transfer machine you've been waiting for.
L
eading the evolution of rotary transfer machining, Hydromat
Inc. once again provides the industry with the next
advancement for exceptional production machining: The
Eclipse 12-100.
This is a complete ground up re-design of the famous rotary
transfer concept featuring all new components. The Eclipse
has a heavy casting mounted on a frame of sturdy, welded
steel construction. The casting for the Eclipse 12-100 is 2m
in diameter, nearly twice as large as the traditional 12 station
Hydromat machine.
Semi-permanent tool spindles, each having 3-axis capability as
standard equipment eliminates the need to change tool spindle
sizes for different cutting processes or adding 3-axis flanges
for that capability.
The new Eclipse features all electric servo spindles and slides.
No hydraulics are needed for tool spindle motion as in previous
Hydromat machines. These new technologies along with the
beefier base yield better accuracy and repeatability.
This multi-station transfer technology enables load and unload
processes on station one, and simultaneous machining on
the other 11 stations, making the Eclipse ideal for medium
to high production of complex work pieces requiring multiple
operations, complex cuts, and where tight tolerances are
critical.
The bar fed collet version of the Eclipse 12-100 has a maximum
workpiece diameter of 65mm (2.5") and features a maximum
workpiece length of 180mm (7") with 127mm (5") of material
outside the collet.
In 2018 the Eclipse will also be available in an Indexing Chuck
version that will feature a table with vertical chucks capable of
360° rotation of the workpiece.
An engineering marvel, a production wonder.
