IMTS - GAM with Jakob Antriebstechnik and GF Machining Solutions will be Speaking at IMTS 2016 Conference

On the topic of: Avoiding Collision Damage of Motor Spindles Through an Innovative Motor-Spindle Safety System

A short description:

Different causes lead to unforeseen contact situations between moving components in the working space of machine tools. These collisions can result in damage of the machine components. High cost and machine downtime are the consequences. This article presents a solution for the reduction of contact forces in case of collision. The damages of the machine structure and the main components like the motor spindle can be successfully avoided. Further a modified mechanism with higher stiffness and better process properties of the protection system will be described and compared to the current status.

Time: 3:15 PM
Location: W193-A
This technology will be shown at IMTS 2016 and installed on GF Machining Solutions high performance milling centers model Mikron HPM 800 U ST with crash demonstrations several times per day. GF Machining Solutions is located at S-8754. In addition, FFG MAG will have the spindle protection system displayed at IMTS in their booth S-8129. This unit has been successfully tested in their Specht HMC 600.

Improve productivity and achieve consistent, high-quality welds with mechanized welding solutions.

We have the right welding system for every application. Our solutions are the ultimate in precision and efficiency, meeting the full scope of requirements for quality and reliability in tank, vessel, and pipeline construction in particular. We also offer custom solutions that stand up to any challenge. Working with our mechanized circumferential welding systems, you can weld components of very different sizes and weight classes-thanks to systems ranging from compact welding cells for smaller components through to robust systems for heavy workpieces. Cutting-edge technology and premium materials deliver top results, making our welding systems incredibly versatile, simple to use, and easy to maintain. Even welds, high process stability, and less rework are just a few of the advantages-and you can benefit too.
