The TSM 280 provides a large spectrum
of different machining operations, the
application of various tools, and an infinitely
variable controllability of all machining
spindles. PLC or CNC controlling of the
TSM 280 is possible for a maximum of 15
unit heads.
Due to short setup times and an easy
access of working with respect to the
tool area, the machine concept allows a
continuous and efficient application. It is
possible to machine with spindle drive
capacities of up to 2.2kW.
After an easy modification, the modular
construction of this machine type enables
long production runs with variable
workpiece and tool adaption. The possibility
of multiple usages gives an additional
advantage to this machine.
The central element is the vertical
clamping disk with 8 resp/16 hydraulically
operated clamping positions. The
clamping of extra long parts is performed
by means of a double clamping disk.
The control of the machining units can
be undertaken by the user via cams,
hydraulically or via NC axes.
and chamfering), other operations can be
applied on a maximum of 15 unit heads
such as longitudinal turning, undercutting,
thread cutting, slotting, cross-drilling and
non-cutting forming operations.
Wolf machines have a compact and
modular construction, with short cycle
times assured for economical production.
In addition to small space requirements,
the TSM 280 indexing transfer machines
are highly flexible with high performance
in middle to long production runs.
Wolf Maschinenbau AG, Germany,
manufactures indexing table transfer
machines for 3-sided machining of pipe
components from middle to high production
rates. The machines can be used for pipes
of Ø 1-13mm from coil, and up to Ø 26mm
from bars, as well as workpiece lengths
from 1-200mm (240mm).
In combination with the Wolf bar feeder, it
is possible to achieve capacities of up to
70 pieces/minute (140 pieces/minute). In
addition to frontal machining (ie surfacing
