Methods Big Plus-K cell can be paired with medium-bed RoboDrills and Methods’ MB 650U and can hold up to 120 pallets and 280 tools. Other standard automation systems include the JobShop Cell PRO, the RoboDrill Plus-K and Plus-K 60, and RoboDrill Plus-E.
Automation can be intimidating. Between choosing a robot, automatic pallet and tool changers, developing a custom program, end-of-arm tooling options, infeed/outfeed systems, and the myriad of right answers, it can be overwhelming to find the best fit for your needs.
MV 1600H 3-axis VMC Plain and simple, it s the best of both worlds, said Nicholas St. Cyr, Methods Machining Centers Product Manager. The hybrid box-and-linear design allows users to perform deep, exact cuts quickly, he said. Customers don t have to sacrifice agility for precision. Rapid rates are 36 meters per minute (m/m) on the X- and Y-axes and 24 m/m on the Z-axis, ensuring fast tool movements.
Methods designed every aspect for cutting large workpieces. The work area spans 63.0 by 31.5 while the table has a capacity of 3,300 pounds (lbs.) and measures 66.9 by 33.5 . Weighing approximately 41,800 pounds (lbs.), the MV 1600H has a heavy-cast construction, dampening reverberations and giving operators greater precision and improved surface finishing capability.
Methods Machine Tools Inc.’s MV 1600H three-axis vertical machining center (VMC) combines durable construction with the functionality of a rigid boxway Z-axis and versatile linear guideways on the X- and Y-axes. Plain and simple, it s the best of both worlds, says Nicholas St. Cyr, Methods Machining Centers product manager. The hybrid box-and-linear design allows users to perform deep, exact cuts quickly.
