Four-finger single switching card disk technology
Four-finger single switching card disk is a kind of integrated machine tool used to serve machining operations. It is also known as an indexing unit due to its ability to automatically adjust its various axes using indexing operations. typically, a four-finger single switching card disk consists of a frame that holds arms that are used to direct the tool head. This design gives the operator the flexibility to move the movable spindle up, down, and sideways in order to to match the desired cutting angle and the workpiece geometry.
Effectiveness
Four-finger single switching card disk machines are able to achieve greater accuracy and more reliable operation compared to traditional indexing fixtures. The card disk mechanism is able to perform a single indexing operation in a single revolution, as opposed to the several revolutions required with a traditional indexing fixture. The single switching operation also helps to reduce setup time for the same job.
Durability
The four-finger single switching card disk system is designed to be robust, robust, and reliable in a long-term machining environment. The mechanism is designed to permit a high degree of accuracy and repeatability, as well as minimal thermal expansion or shrinkage. The Single-Switching system also has the added benefit of the cards being able to be changed out quickly in order to incorporate fixtures that require different setup conditions.
Efficiency
Four-finger single switching card disk systems are capable of operating in both low and high speed settings. The card disk mechanism is driven by a motor and is capable of running at speeds ranging from 0-3,000 rpm, allowing the system to take full advantage of available production speeds. Additionally, the single switching system is capable of cutting large quantities of metal with fewer tools and setup time than traditional indexing fixtures.
Cost Savings
The four-finger single switching card disk system is a cost-effective solution to machining operations due to its ability to reduce machining time, setup time, and tool wear. In addition, the system has a low cost of ownership, due to its high accuracy and repeatability, low operation and maintenance costs, and long life-span.
Safety
Finally, four-finger single switching card disk systems are designed to meet safety regulations. The mechanism is driven by a safety-rated motor, and the system is equipped with various safety mechanisms to ensure that the operator is protect while using the system. Furthermore, the card disk mechanism is encased in a robust and reliable housing, allowing for proper machine safeguarding.
