Jem Automatics and Tooling has chosen FANUC CNC control systems for our newest full featured TechDrive screw machines with CNC Slides, and for our stand alone add-on kit to add CNC Slides to your existing Acme Gridley screw machine. Depending on the number of CNC Slides and total axes required, the FANUC 30i-B, 31i-B, 32i-B, or 0i-F series CNC controllers will provide the power and flexibility for the most complex, high performance machines and the most demanding applications of today!
Our Compound CNC Cross Slide Features:
- All way bearings are precision preloaded ball rails
- Precision ground preloaded ball screws (20mm for 1500 series and 25mm for 2500 series)
- FANUC servo motors with 2-year warranty starting upon delivery to you the end user
- Rotary spindle encoder for threading and inch/rev feed rates, or mm/rev feed rates
- Automatic lubrication
- Spindle identification switching for automatic indexing error offsets
- High resolution color touch screen terminal in sealed enclosure
- User friendly front-end operator software custom designed by JEM specifically for multispindle screw machines
- Familiar FANUC back-end environment for on-screen G-Code part programming
The "B" series compound slide design utilizes a completely self-contained package. The use of pre-loaded ball rails and ball screws provide a rigid, accurate assembly superior to traditional way type slides. On a conventional box type slide clearances are required to allow the slide to move. We use pre-loaded linear bearings that allow a smoother and more rigid cutting motion. This is important for cutting with carbide, especially at the lower surface speeds that multispindle screw machines operate at, and also allows for forming!
The compact design of the "B" series 2-axis CNC slide permits the user to configure their machine in a way to utilize the maximum capability of standard tooling and attachments. For the intermediate positions the "B" series compound slide can be mounted on a heavy-duty shelf type base. In the upper positions a compound slide can be put in place of the standard cross slide, leaving enough room for use of the standard (with minor modifications) threading / reaming die slide attachment. Also the compound slide could be put in place of the die slide, leaving the standard cross slide in place. Finally, two compound slide assemblies could be mounted side by side in the same spindle position, putting four axis to work at the same time. This would permit the user to single point contour or thread O.D. and I.D. simultaneously. For the lower positions the heavy duty "A" series compound cross slide is available.
