Boring and cutting heads

The U-DRIVE motor drive unit must be mounted on the machining center next to the spindle in order to ensure the mechanical connection of the motorcycle socket to the TA-CENTER head. The main components of the U-DRIVE are:

• basic body
• servo motor
• the mechanical unit, prepared with air inlet connection for cleaning of the motorcycle outlet, for automatic coupling to the TA-CENTER.

The U-DRIVE motorization unit can take different configurations depending on the application on the machining center:

• horizontal
• horizontal at 90 o'clock
• vertical.

Application of the U-Drive
The U-DRIVE can be easily positioned on the machine with a support plate to adapt to the machine connected and attached to the holes on the front of the spindle. Other special configurations can be provided on request.

The TA-CENTERS are applicable to work centers and can be managed directly from an axis called "U" of numerical control. The possible application on machines that do not allow the connection to a CNC axis, can be done by managing the motor of the control unit with a practical U-CONTROL with wireless REMOTE-CONTROL.

The positioner can be connected to the M functions of the machine control to receive start signals of the various operations programmed on the REMOTE-CONTROL.

In the TA-CENTER the coolant comes out of two adjustable nozzles placed on the side of the sled after crossing the cone and the rotating head. This ensures a longer insert life, faster-cutting speed, and good surface finish.

The centralized supply of the coolant does not damage the TA-CENTER whose internal labyrinths are protected by sealing rings. It is advisable not to exceed 40 BAR of pressure.

The TA-CENTER heads have been designed with two counterweights for automatic balancing, which move in the opposite direction to the slide allowing to work at a high number of revolutions without appreciable oscillations.

Standard tools can be mounted on the tool holders to perform simple and multiple machining of internal and external turning, conical bore also variable, concave and convex radii, channels, cylindrical and conical threads, faces, phonographic spirals.
