VERTICAL LATHES WITH NC QUILL

The 4-axis turning cell with 2 tool turrets, NC quill and steady rest is the ideal bases machine for shaft machining. In one clamping operation, you can combine demanding turning tasks with simple drilling and milling operations, for the highest precision for small batches or in large-scale production.

Sophisticated component handling enables a wide range of applications and easy expandability, should an additional technology be connected or if your unit volumes are increased.

VERTICAL LATHE WITH CENTER DRIVE UNIT

When both ends of a shaft require machining using conventional production cells, it is always necessary to reclamp the workpiece. When geometries have mutual reference points, it is often impossible to keep the process stably under control, despite complex orientation and expensive clamping technology.

Our F machine has a sliding centre drive which eliminates this potential for error, because it enables both ends to be machined without reclamping. Using the optional second sliding vice, very short protruding lengths can be realised even for components of up to 800mm – with process reliability and patented engineering.

VERTICAL TURNING/MILLING CELL

The combination of turning and milling in a swivelling B axis opens up a wide range of applications, for example when machining camshafts. The integrated tool changer further enhances the degree of variability available.

When it comes to more complex milling operations, we also offer a fixed milling axis, with a performance and rigidity dimensioned for deep drive slots.

VERTICAL TURNING CELL WITH COUNTERSPINDLE

The vertical turning cell with counterspindle is ideal for the front-end and rear-end machining of flange components or short shaft parts. Both spindles can work independently from one another or be synchronised electronically.

Due to the turret’s long X travel paths, both can simultaneously work on a spindle, which provides an increase in efficiency.

VERTICAL DOUBLE GRINDING CELL

Whether soft or hard machining, our double grinding cell is able to do both. In combination with an end facing machine, vertical turning cell, or auger milling machine, you receive an integrated shaft line that sets new benchmarks in terms of efficiency and process reliability.

VERTICAL COMBINATION CELLS TURNING/ROLLER MILLING

A broad knowledge base about gearing technology is required in order to manufacture in a process-reliable manner. For this reason, Schuster Maschinenbau entered into a close cooperation with Gleason Pfauter Maschinenfabrik GmbH, a company that masters the entire process – from the design of the milling unit, the tool technology to the measurement technology. Gleason Pfauter also assumes the sales and marketing for this machine.

VERTICAL WORKPIECE END FACING MACHINE

A production line’s level of availability is only as high as the availability of the weakest sub-process. Based on a product FMEA, Schuster Maschinenbau has developed stable workpiece end facing, which replaces the low output and short life cycle of the driven tool holders by providing significantly more powerful single milling spindles. An expertise that supports the cycle time and availability of the entire production line.
