Used to run a really similar system on a robodrill with pallet changer, two fixtures a pallet, would push easily close to 10k parts in some instances in a 10 hour shift. And we had a full wall of fixtures in that setup so when you wanted to change to a different job you just unclaimed the fixture, popped the new one on and done
I'm happy to see you guys are still killing it at Titan You guys survived the Koof and the first 6 months of this "Goverment" Hats off fellas! Hats off!
When using just one fixture barrel what prevents the part from rotating during a cut. I noticed the 5X Vise had one fixture point for direct mounting and it was not explained how it might be indexed to the same position with each change over. Would this require a sub plate between the Vice and the puck ? Or two fixture points ?
Good question... When using only one receiver with a vise like that, there is actually an additional "notch" in the module that uses another pin to index the vise. You can find an example of the receiver side on our website by searching NSL3 150-V1-T (there you can see the indexing notch). The vise we showed is already prepared for that. The vise is the KSC grip 125-160
@@zyndapp800 I've personally held a 550 pound aluminum forging with three pins on a DMU75 and roughed it with a 2" shell mill at a continuous 90% spindle load. It held perfectly fine so I'm sure a 50mm drill would be no sweat.
@@zyndapp800 Check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vl6DD9JH_KI.html There is quite a bit of force.... specifically: About 25,000 LBS of pull-force. However, that's just the "pre-tension" so to speak that helps with rigidity. It's not possible to pull the clamping pins out of the module when it's clamped. They will break first.
So awesome when you have them on the machines and the CMM. Do you ever do in process inspection leaving the piece clamped still and transferring from machine to CMM?
@@ArthurField absolutely! Two jobs run at the same time and each have their own inspection intervals (eg. every nth part) with up to 2 inspection ops for each part. A robot moves these shunk pallets from station to station, depending on the op, machining, wash, cmm, etc. and when op is complete robot transfers part to different pallet. There are 3 styles of pallets. When part is complete.. robot removes part from pallet and places it into storage bins. It’s cool to be a part of this cool operation all the way down to writing the PLC code!
@@ArthurField we’ve clamped a gage and left the pallet for a weekend and gage didn’t even budge (we have no reason to test for longer intervals). Theses pallets and receivers are truly amazing.
I appreciate you Titan but bombastic show could be rebranded. It turns away the machining and industry guys I’ve talked to or tried to get to watch your show. Keep it you, the name just doesn’t work
Thought titan was interesting but now he seems to be a salesman. I don't trust salesman who do it for money. I'm disappointed in your youtube channel now. Still a subscriber tho.
