The firm says that the cell, which comprises a new Doosan DNM 5700 vertical machining centre and a ROBOJOB (Mill-Assist) automated workpiece load/unload system (supplied by Hydrafeed), will demonstrate the significant productivity gains component manufacturers can expect to achieve from automating their machining processes and embracing unmanned production.
Explains Mills CNC’s technical director Tony Dale: “Our Open House provides the ideal platform for component manufacturers to see the latest advanced technologies now available from Mills. There are 18 Doosan machines being exhibited at the event, and one of these, a new DNM 5700 vertical machining centre, will be interfaced with a compact, high-productivity ROBOJOB automation system.”
Continues Dale: “Automation, such as that offered by the ROBOJOB system, enables manufacturers to become much more flexible and, for a relatively modest outlay, get more from their machine tools by allowing them to run unattended.”
The machining demonstration at the Open House will show the ROBOJOB Mill-Assist solution in action. Representatives from Hydrafeed will also be hosting an ‘Automation Seminar’ on both days where the commercial and operational advantages of automation will be presented.
The event takes place at Mills Technology Campus facility on 18 and 19 October.
