THE NXT FAMILY: YOUR THREEFOLD ENTRY INTO THE FUTURECLASS
With nxt, Schuster gives you access to a whole new territory. Specifically, the world of automatic vertical machining for customized series production in which you benefit from all of the advantages of a pick-up lathe: from the compact, space-saving structure and user-friendly design to optional, customized features and savings in both energy and costs, thanks to especially high production capacity in a small space.
Right from the start: your turnkey solution
Turning, drilling, milling, grinding, gear cutting, cutting, honing, hardening, roller burnishing, etc.
Selection / determination of the clamping device
Determination of cycle time / selection of tools
Robots, gantries, pick-up parts storage, separating magazines, infeed and outfeed systems, buffers, etc.
Measuring, testing, labeling, cleaning, packing, tool changing, washing, deburring, preserving, etc.
Free design of machine-dependent peripherals such as control cabinet, chip conveyor, cooling lubricant system, etc.
The “heart” of the Schuster NXT is its machine stand. As with all Schuster machines, the machine base of this pick-up lathe is made of cast mineralite.
Ready for the digital future
SIEMENS SINUMERIK ONE
PHANUC iHMI
THE FIRST PLUG AND PLAY MACHINE THAT FEELS SPECIALLY TAILORED TO YOUR NEEDS.
Even the most basic version of the Schuster nxt has exceptional features. For example, the machine base made of 100% polymer concrete, the guide systems (45 mm guideways in the X and Z directions) and the high-precision spindle with extra-large spindle bearings (120 mm) and an A6 spindle nose. The highlight: The machine is available as either a left-hand or right-hand version, depending on your site situation. Both FANUC and SIEMENS can be used.
Milling slots and machining cross-bores or key flats on the circumference or on the face are among the many machining operations that can be performed professionally, economically, and quickly with our driven tool turret. The ability to choose between VDI40 and BMT55 with the tool turret is a good argument for complete machining.
For the greatest precision when drilling holes positioned either within or outside the center of rotation, the Schuster nxt is also available with a HSK63 drilling, milling, or reaming spindle. When combined with Schuster’s patented spindle clamping system, this machine version can perform precision series drilling that would otherwise not be possible. The spindle clamping technology for disconnecting the c-axis (main spindle) operates hydraulically with clamping forces of up to 300 Nm. Its positioning, directly above the spindle nose, suppresses even micro-vibrations perfectly and ensures that precision tolerance requirements down to 15 µm are met.
Holes with diameters of up to 65 mm (depending on the workpiece material) can be drilled with no trouble at all with our “high-performance” drilling package. A generously sized coolant-lubricant pump with a capacity of 60 l/min. removes the higher volume of chips that result from machining. With its standardized VDI tool interface, the drilling console, milled out of the complete body and affixed directly to the machine base, is used to meet other requirements, such as force impact or quick tool setup.
Very compact structure
Energy and costs are saved due to high production capacity in a very small production area.
Ergonomic
design
The ergonomic concept, which results in outstanding access to the work area and tool turret, allows the vertical lathe to be equipped quickly and easily. This means that particularly with regard to planned or unplanned maintenance, the machine is back in production again in no time.
Fully integrated automation:
Implemented via the pick-up spindle, including the NC cycle belt or drag frame conveyor.
FANUC quality
Trouble-free, low-maintenance, and the familiar reliability associated with FANUC quality.
Maximum machine availability
The machine, supported by the ergonomic concept, is back in production again in no time after either planned or unplanned maintenance.
Machine bases made of 100% polymer concrete
In contrast to bases made of gray cast iron, those made of polymer concrete have lower thermal conductivity, better shock-absorbing properties, and increase tool life by up to 30%.
High thermal stability
The symmetric, sturdy basic structure ensures optimum heat distribution, so no external heat compensation is required.
Coordinated option package
For individualized machine assembly design or a freely chosen production solution. See the following page.
Guarantee
The standard 24-month guarantee gives you the certainty you can expect when investing in a future-oriented machine concept.
