Sliding Headstock Type CNC Automatic Lathe

 Cincom‘s answer for
machining ultra-small-diameter
precision components.
The acclaimed R-series of automatic lathes dedicated to
small-diameter machining has evolved.

For machining watch parts, probe/connector pins, medical parts and other ultra-small-diameter components,
we completely reviewed the machine construction in pursuit of ‘the ideal machine’ with ”true-ease-of-use”.
A 20,000 min-1 spindle achieves the optimum cutting speed for the workpiece. This in combination with
a tool post integrated with the guide bushing mount to suppress thermal displacement and feed axis drives
combining linear and servo motors help to maximise accuracy, compactness and low energy consumption.
Cincom’s solution for machining ultra-small-diameter parts is here.

Suppression of thermal displacement has been pursued throughout the machine. The components to mount
the tool slide and the guide bushing unit are unified to suppress thermal displacement and assure rigidity.

 Your solution for machining
ultra-small-diameter parts.

Machining
In comparison with previous
models, the twin gang tool mounting
capacity is increased by two
turning tools and one drilling tool,
thus improving the feasibility of
tool layout.
The rotary tools with significantly
increased rigidity adopt ER11 size
chucks. With the tool shift amount
changed to 2 mm, material deflec-
tion is suppressed. The synchro­
nized guide bush unit is now
availabel in the standard.

 Space-saving design; reduced running cost.
A machine depth of 535 mm has been achieved by the adoption of
compact spindle motors, linear motors for X axes and a new cover design.
This increases machine density in a given floor area. The latest hinged
cover design simplifies maintenance and fully encloses peripheral
equipment. Air and power consumption is reduced through servo motor
drives to Y axis, centralised lubrication to all slides and higher efficiency
motors and pumps. Lubrication consumption is reduced by 12%
compared to previous R model.

Improved collection rate of extremely-small-diameter workpieces.

Micro-sized workpieces are difficult to collect due to their small size.
For the new R series, a non-contact air blow collection and chute for small
workpieces has been developed in addition to the previous knockout
and suction methods for product collection. All are supplied as standard
on the R04. In conjunction with optimization of the coolant discharge rate,
the efficiency of component collection is improved.
