The machine models in the Imoberdorf portfolio –
currently five – are constantly evolving. For some time now, the development
department has been working on an idea for a completely new type of machine – a
sort of multispindle processing centre that would support simultaneous
machining. This new machine concept can simultaneously process a single metal
part using three tool spindles. It closes the gap between processing centres
with one or two tool spindles for small quantities and classic rotary transfer
machines that are suitable for mass production of large quantities starting at
300,000 units per year.
Thanks to the integrated Simatic S7-1500F PLC, the
Sinumerik One CNC system achieves PLC cycle times that are up to 10x faster
than its predecessor, maximising the productivity of machine tools. The
engineering process is much simpler thanks to full integration into the TIA
Portal. Using a digital twin, the machine’s programming can be checked
virtually – long before the physical machine prototype is ready.
Our goal is to find a solution that works even
for complicated parts – of course, without neglecting the aspects of efficiency
and cost.
