BihlerTEC, the machine tool specialist,
presented its latest development at a recent
in-house exhibition. The Bihler bushing
machine provides easy handling and the
highest precision.
Designed for the manufacture of cylindrical,
straight bushes and flanged bushes, the
RM40B can produce these without problems
in inner diameters from 6-18mm, and up to a
maximum of 40mm long. The machine speed
is infinitely adjustable and varies, subject
to the type of bush. If the speed, for flanged
bushes (collared bushes), is at 250 1/min, it
climbs to 400 1/min for cylindrical, straight
bushes.
Bihler offers the RM 40B as a cost-effective
complete package which consists of a
compact basic machine, standard accessories
and clearly arranged tool components. The
basic machine corresponds to the model
RM 40K, but the number of drive positions
is reduced to 12. The standard accessories
include a mechanical gripper feed with
hydraulic clamping, the BRA-II-75 strip
straightener, a 70 kN 12mm stroke two-point
eccentric press, two positively-controlled
normal slide units with a nominal force of
30 kN and 25mm stroke, a central mandrel
with 30 kN nominal force and 50mm stroke,
a 60 kN transverse press with 35mm stroke,
a rotary table drive and user and personnel
protection.
The RM 40B tooling consists of three
components: the basic tooling – two sets
of tool fixtures and the active parts (tool
changeover parts). The latter is to be
manufactured by the customer, but Bihler can
supply the respective tool blanks. To achieve
the fastest possible tool changeover times
(partly less than 10 minutes), the second
set of tool fixtures can be pre-equipped for
another bush type. The rapid-change tooling
system to be handled via a switch also adds
to extremely short re-tooling times.
