Large
Display of
part count and cycle time.
|
Part count by
tool with stop function. Track
number of parts made by up to 18 tools, will stop machine at a set
number of parts produced if desired.
|
Fault
messages to assist operator less downtime.
Alerts operator of machine status, open guards, etc.
|
4-Line Safety
& Control LED Display. 50%
larger letters than Retrokit control LCD display, illuminated,
readable from 20 ft and from side angles.
|
Ethernet, rs232,
and/or rs422 ready Able to connect to plant MIS systems for
machine monitoring and control.
|
Machine
designed for PLC by the Manufacturer. PLC
and variable speed drives are not aftermarket add-ons to a rebuilt
machine.
|
Name brand,
off the shelf, industry standard control (Allen Bradley or PLCDirect)
for serviceability
long-term. Upgradeable.
|
Controls, Programming, and Machine serviced by the same firm
no finger pointing if there is trouble.
|
Controls
Expandable. Both
Standard PLCDirect and optional Allen Bradley offer expansion bases, flexibility, and
module options.
|
Machine
Position Display
in degrees.
|
Precise
control of high speed start/stop points and thread/tap start/stop.
Specify number of degrees in High Speed, and exact thread/tap clutch
shift points (in degrees) for lower cycle times, higher productivity.
|
Ready to
connect broken drill detectors and other electronic monitoring systems
for safety & lower tooling costs.
|
Jog
Feed Forward and Back Fast, easy setup & tool changes.
|
Setup mode
Machine Feed cross slides cycle without carrier index
|
Adjust
Spindle RPM without gear changes more uptime, higher productivity, less staff
support, optimized setup - fast!
|
Adjust
Machine Feed Rate without gear changes more uptime, higher productivity, requires
less staff support. No
Hi-Lo, Feed, or overrunning clutches to adjust, monitor, and service.
|
Fine
adjustment of spindle rpm & machine feed rate possible
to optimize cycle time and tool life.
Some add-on controls do not eliminate feed and speed gears so you
are limited to available gear ratios.
S&Ms system lets you select feed rates between the
rates of available gears.
|
Machine
Jam/Stop Detection detects if the a crash or jam stops the machine feed while the
motor has power.
|
Carrier
Location/Lock Failure Detect Stops machine if improper carrier location is
detected, to avoid out of spec parts and even tooling crashes.
|
Guarding
design provides larger opening into tooling area for more arm,
elbow, and hand room
more visibility, faster, easier setup & operation than New
Britain splash guards (doors).
|
Heavy Cast
Machine Base
highly rigid for tight tolerances with less variance.
(Some New Britains on the market have weldment bases.)
|
Dual rubber
spindle seal system for improved spindle bearing and lube oil life for reduced
operating expenses, plus less machine
wear.
|
Index
time: 6-spindle is 0.8
seconds; 8-spindle is 0.7 seconds
|
All machine
castings, parts and components are new.
|
Machine is
currently in production new.
|
SnM
Machines
are New,
not rebuilt S&M
builds new machines, and also remanufactures New Britains.
Remanufacturing is done by a firm
capable of manufacturing - that is, machining and repairing cases, parts and components.
In contrast, rebuilders install purchased parts as
needed. S&M is not a parts installer but a
bona fide manufacturer/remanufacturer.
|
Greatest
machine life and market value new machines are a better investment and can
be expected to have the longer life.
|
Best
Performance
new machines hold tolerances longer.
|
No Main drive
chain, Hi-Lo, Feed, or overrunning clutches to maintain.
More uptime-less adjustments, less maintenance load.
|
No investment
in a selection of feed gear sets to
change feed rate, no investment in speed gear sets to change spindle rpm, and no main drive chain to maintain and replace.
|
Machine noise
level.
Lack of clutches, feed and speed gears, and main drive chain
means less noise generated by the machine for a quieter shop.
|
Stock reel
pans and covers are standard less stock tube noise, more safety, &
better shop appearance. Rarely included on rebuilt New
Britains.
|
More pleasant
for operators our machines are more quiet, and convenient to operate for higher worker retention,
less fatigue, more operator attention.
