THINK AHEAD SORALUCE: AUTOMATION, MULTITASKING SOLUTIONS AND LARGE SIZE SOLUTIONS AT EMO 2017 (HALL 13, B36)

EMO 2017 is the platform chosen by SORALUCE to share the innovations that will shape the future. A future developed for and with customers while generating value.

Automated solutions
SORALUCE tackles automation projects at all different levels, from a single machine with a simple pallet transfer control integrated in the CNC to a flexible machining cell composed of multiple machines with workpieces and tools feeding systems managed by an Industrial PC to support very complex management software.

Multitasking solutions
SORALUCE multitasking machines achieve the highest profitability in the machining of technically complex parts, including milling & turning in a single set-up. SORALUCE provides a full suit of multitasking capabilities by means of SORALUCE’s design of turning heads, tables and customer cycles, and the special multitasking head for multitasking operations, offering increased capability and functionality. In addition, SORALUCE will present at EMO 2017 a smart solution to break long chips that eases chip removal, thus reducing machine downtime and ensuring continuous production.

Large size solutions
SORALUCE presents the new SORALUCE PXG-W, a new gantry multitasking machine with precision and versatility at a large scale. It has a working volume of 1000 m3 and weighs 500 t.  The SORALUCE PXG-W is designed to maximise productivity through its ability to handle milling and turning operations in a single set-up. It provides the highest possible return in machining large workpieces with a high degree of technical complexity, and makes it possible to machine a range of shapes and sizes.

The machine features the latest technologies and solutions which are innovative in the large-sized machine segment such as Vertical Ram Balance system (VRB), Table Balance System (TBS) and the latest thermal compensation algorithms developed by SORALUCE.
