GMTK, a company located in Zestoa (Gipuzkoa, Spain) works on the development of machining solutions that improve the efficiency and profitability of its machine tools for end users. On this occasion, they will show their latest automated cell installations at the EMO MILANO 2021 fair.
One of their latest facilities has been in Germany, where they have installed a multiprocess VR2.4 three vertical lathes machining cell with FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System). The main goal of the project was to install a high productive and precise flexible manufacturing cell which grants an unmanned and automated manufacturing process. Working along with the customer has made it possible to develop the solution to fulfil the established goal. The cell system consists of a loading/unloading station, two centring stations, 11 waiting stations and three multi-process vertical lathes with a swing diameter of 2,400 mm and till 20 tons.
The centring stations high positioning capability of a just a few microns is the cornerstone that allow to the multi-process lathes to achieve the required precision, avoiding the centring operation of all the components inside the machines, reducing the idle time and whole manufacturing time. The manufacturing cell has 3 multi-process VR2.4 vertical lathes with different configurations, which includes a machine with a double synchronized RAM, that allows to provide a comprehensive and efficient solution to all the required machining operations. All our machines include a robot system for an automated head/tool change and interchanged among the 3 machines. Automation offers efficiency and autonomy to the manufacturing cell. The integration of the cell within the factory management system allows the maximum efficiency of the entire process. The achievement of the demanding goal has involved an important qualitative leap in the machining of this type of parts.
This is another example of how GMTK works closely with their customers searching for solutions, which makes GMTK the leading provider of solutions for the most demanding machining of complex parts with high added value in sectors with very high requirements such as aerospace, energy, oil & gas, etc. GMTK’s applications department searches actively the best solution to their customers requirements. Depending on each application’s requirements, accessories are developed to grant a complete machining solution.
As it should be, GMTK puts the customer at the centre of all its operations offering: turnkey projects, optimization of manufacturing processes and after-sales service, always based on precision, reliability and productivity.
