WESTEC 2013 October 15 - 17 REACH Compliant Portable CNC MaChiNiNg CeNter PerforMs seCoNdary oPeratioNs SouthweStern InduStrIeS Inc., Booth 2520 Southwestern Industries will release its TR AK 2OP portable machining c e n te r d e s i g n e d fo r second-operation machining. The compact 2.5 × 4-ft. unit is said to s t r e a m l i n e a s h o p's workflow by bringing an additional spindle to an operator idled by the cycle time of a primary machine. When paired with a primary machine, the portable machining center can perform lessc o m p l ex s e c o n d a r y operations to reduce part cycle times, decrease operator idle time and simplify scheduling. The machining center features the company's ProtoTrak CNC technology with conversational language programming. Programs for secondoperation machining tasks such as drilling, countersinking and profile machining can be generated at the machine or remotely. An eight-station toolchanger avoids the need for manual tool changes, while a built-in Jergens Ball Lock fixturing system facilitates quick change-overs. A pallet jack enables the movement of the portable unit. We reduce the friction between industry and nature.
