Giddings and Lewis Bickford numera Center machines with automatic tool Changers give you direct control over every metal cutting hour and produce completed Parts more profitably than you thought possible boring Drilling Milling tapping tools elected from The Machine's own Tool Crib whirl into action from an automatic tool changer 40 tools having up to five inch diameters are stored in the Dual matrixes tool exchange takes just five seconds from either Matrix or the same Matrix shortest route is always taken a straight line shuttle snaps Tools in and out beneath the spindle while an air jet blasts tools free of dirt and chips positive gear tooth drive on the tool holder mates with a spindle nose gear providing full horsepower to the tool decision production of industrial creations in aluminum stainless steel cast iron and alloy Steels are machined from start to finish on a single the Merit Center automatic tool changing machine The Proven profit leader for the larger Parts is this 15 horsepower model it has a four ton table capacity to accommodate 30 inch cubes extra capacity is optional this cut is the first of 33 Milling requirements feeds are infinitely variable from one inch to 40 inches per minute and programmable from tape [Music] [Music] foreign Point control system built by Giddings and Lewis electronics company cutting operations are directed from the operator's console when required machine functions are dialed in speed and feed override can be selected too 10 tool depth compensation switches let the operator compensate for differences in tool lengths up to 10 inches switchable dial permit selection of all logic stored in the control [Music] this data is played from the readout it shows the operator job progress and quickens service needs full range reference offset lets Parts be clamped anywhere on the table and accurately zeroed manual machine control is available from the pendant station on the head a joystick positions the table in four directions for fast manual operation but the real value of a Giddings and Lewis Bickford numera Center is in chip time metal flies faster and more often because of exclusive Drilling and tapping controls Hydro sense engages power feed immediately upon contact with the work surface ends the need for preset tools this feed dials rapid Traverse with no lull into Power feed there's no lost time cutting air [Music] Hydro thread control plunges Taps into the cut instantaneously and without the use of costly floating tap holders notice that tool retraction is just off the work piece for further Time Savings [Music] this two station setup achieves Optimum performance from both machine and operator tape actuated indexer lets a numera Center work on several sides of a work piece in one setup opening the door for multiple part Arrangements [Music] Davis block type boring tools cut three times faster than single point tools and hold tolerances of plus or minus one half thousands on bore diameters Davis boring tools are products of Davis Tool Company a division of Giddings and Lewis Incorporated each of these cast iron Servo Drive housings requires 168 Machining operations and is completed in 53 minutes a savings of 50 percent over previous NC methods without automatic tool changing while the machine continues to respond to the cutting commands the operator is free to load another work part work handling is simplified by using fast acting mechanical clamps and efficient fixtures adding a whole new dimension to machine productivity [Music] all right this numera Center Machining aluminum valve bodies replaced five machines and quickly reduced production Time by four hours per part 3 station Arrangement contributed to this dramatic time saving each valve body required 222 Machining operations and was completed in 58 minutes flat previous conventional methods took 5.1 hours to complete the part tolerances of plus or minus one thousands were held on hole spacing plus or minus one-half thousands on bore diameters [Music] a numera Center can be bossed on larger jobs as well this 1800 pound compressor unit indexes at 15 degree increments and presenting its surfaces to the cutting tools a wide variety of Milling work is available from this machine as evidenced here [Music] Davis boring tools counter bore the Piston cavities with the same ease and accuracy achieved with the smaller boring tools again tool retraction is programmed just above the work surface permitting the tool to get quickly into the next cut [Music] the exclusive Hydro sense and hydro thread controls let drills and Taps deliver instant chips there's no wasted motions feed engagement is automatic upon contact with the work piece [Music] for the smaller work Parts Giddings and Lewis Bickford builds a 10 horsepower in ameristenter two flat stations plus an indexer are used in Machining the six sides of these Precision aluminum fuel pump housings each part demands 195 cutting operations and takes just 47 minutes this Milling pass is one of 33 and is followed by an end Milling cut that holds keyway depths to two thousands coolant automatically floods the chips away from the action Hydro sense control allows drills to cut immediately there's no lost time in cutting air [Music] speed is the same when tapping Hydro thread control permits this work to be done without costly floating tap holders tap Cuts its own lead preset tooling is unnecessary the response of ss-70 numera Point control system simultaneously positions the table and indexes the work part here is a sequential Milling operation [Music] thank you [Music] following a five-second tool change a combination Davis block type boring tool is used to save steps in the boring and facing requirements in total 40 boring operations are needed to complete this work piece fours are held a plus or minus one-half thousands [Music] an exclusive tool orientation feature assures identical positioning of finished boring tools into the spindle taper locating pins on the tool flange made with spindle holes making duplicate entry into the bores possible the spindle pulses in its search for The Mating pins locks and speeds into cut [Music] whatever your Machining requirements move into the new generation of machine tool that completes what it starts the Giddings and Lewis Bickford numera Center valued for The Proven economies of NC the time Savings of an automatic tool changer instant chips without presetting drills and Taps invest in a Giddings and Lewis Bickford numera Center a management machine that lets you control every metal cutting hour foreign
