Since
1997 BUFFOLI has introduced 3 new flexible machining systems into
its production program.
They are four-spindle machining centers with 2x5 axes and two flexible
transfer machines.
These machines cover a wide application field, maintaining the typical
transfer machine productivity and efficiency while offering even quicker
change over times and versatility.
The TRANS-N-CENTER
line represents those transfer machines designed in order to
optimize flexibility and productivity in the machining of wide
families of parts, featuring: patented multi-process multi-axis
modules with tool change in 0.3-0.6 seconds; static turning
heads with Buffoli CNC controlled interpolation, single clamping
machining of complex parts thanks to orienting clamping devices
or indexing chucks; wide applications field; quick changeover
times; transfer machine productivity; simultaneous processing
of different parts.  |
The OMNI-FLEX
line is made of two very different universal machining systems. They
are ideally suited for the machining of complex parts in small batches
machined on 5-6 sides even with compound angles.
The "QUATTRO" version integrates two CNC 5-axis machining
modules. Each module is equipped with two machining spindles (for
a total of 80 tools available) and a universal clamping fixture with
2 full CNC rotary axes in order to allow machining with any inclination.
The two universal chucks can automatically transfer parts one to the
other, without human intervention, under precise CNC control for 6-sided
unattended machining. Please send an e-mail to info@buffoli.com
to receive more information on this patented revolutionary machining
system.
The new "MULTI"
version is intended for bigger batches offering exceptionally quick
cycle times for a universal machine. It is a flexible transfer machine
equipped with up to 11 patented multi-spindle multi-axis cartridges.
They are suitable for the production of complex parts in small batches
with quick cycle times and the widest versatility. Machining cube
of 250 or 350 mm (5-sided, 33 tools, possibility of accurate and exceptionally
fast single-point threading and static turning).
Customers of ours change over the machine many times/day, running
batches of 1,000 - 10,000 parts. The combination
of Precision, Productivity and Just in Time production represents
the winning solution provided by the Buffoli machines. Non
rotating part machining (drilling, milling, and also CNC
static turning, threading and profiling) and rotating part
machining are integrated into a versatile, precise and highly
reliable CNC turning and milling system.
All lines are characterized by BUFFOLI
MULTI-PROCESSING CNC, illustrative self-help, easy window based
programming and a FULLY
INTEGRATED TOOL MONITORING SYSTEM.
Benefits:
- Productivity of a transfer machine and
versatility of a machining center.
- 5 or 6 sided machining in one clamping
with the possibility of programming compound angles for the clamping
systems.
- Tool change over between 0 minutes and
2 hours.
- Buffoli Tool Monitoring with automatic
tool wear compensation.
- Patented multi-spindle cartridges with
parallel independent spindle motors. Less than 1 second chip to
chip tool-change.
- 4-axis super compact multi-process heads
(threading, drilling and milling mini-centers with tool change
in 0.3-0.6 sec).
- Quick change static turning heads, able
to execute single-point threading/contouring/turning/recessing
with advanced interpolation controlled by Buffoli’s multi-processing
CNC.
- Inclination and translation of the spindles
programmable by CNC.· High speed machining.
- Simultaneous processing of different parts
in the same turret rotation (e.g. valve body and wedge).
- Multi-media self-diagnostics with illustrative
self-help and continuous self-surveillance of the machine efficiency.
- User-friendly programming, menu driven
or self-learning.
- Completely controlled by CNC with Buffoli
digital electronics having a 5 year warranty.
