Rush Machinery Introduces CNC Cut-Prepoint-Chamfer Machine with Enhanced Capabilities
Rush Machinery is set to unveil its latest innovation, the CNC Cut-Prepoint-Chamfer Machine, at the 2024 International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in Chicago this September. This versatile machine is engineered to execute cutting, prepointing, and chamfering operations on full-length blank carbide rods, streamlining the production of tool blanks ready for finish grinding.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Three-in-One Functionality: The CNC Cut-Prepoint-Chamfer Machine combines cutting, prepointing, and chamfering into a single unit, significantly enhancing production efficiency and reducing cycle times compared to using separate machines for each process.
- Precision and Versatility: The machine handles carbide rods from 1/8″ to 1-1/64″ in diameter and lengths up to 23.5 inches. It can perform single or dual-end operations, generating precise angles through specific wheel angles or interpolation. This flexibility makes it suitable for various applications, including the manufacturing of high-speed steel and carbide tools.
- Automated and User-Friendly: Featuring CNC automated controls and a touch-screen interface, the machine is designed for minimal human intervention, allowing for unattended operation and ensuring consistent, high-quality results. The setup process is straightforward, involving simple adjustments and installations of collets, rod guides, and wheels.
- Cost and Time Efficiency: By producing uniform tool lengths from rods of varying sizes, the machine reduces material costs and inventory requirements. The collet system ensures precision during clamping, enhancing grinding capabilities and reducing overall tool production time.
Rush Machinery’s CNC Cut-Prepoint-Chamfer Machine is a testament to the company’s commitment to quality and innovation in the production of cutting tools and carbide processing equipment. Attendees of IMTS 2024 can see the machine in action and learn more about its capabilities at Rush Machinery’s booth.
