FACTOR INCREASES ITS MACHINING AND TURNING CAPACITIES

FACTOR increases its machining and turning capacities through its two strategic lines of technology and productivity.

FACTOR’s investments are always made on the basis of three parameters:

• Following their strategic lines of growth
• Catering for client needs
• Increasing productivity while reducing costs

On this occasion, FACTOR has increased its productivity with three new pieces of equipment:

Turning: Nakamura WY150 Compact Loader

This new equipment can produce parts with diameters of between 20 and 150mm.

Its key feature is that it incorporates a loader/feeder for compact semi-finished or raw components, developed with space saving in mind. This is a loading/unloading device built into the machine.

It cuts down on cycle times times for parts that require loading/unloading of pre-formed or raw components cut to size (not from bar), removing operator intervention (manual part-by-part feeding), which reduces the cost of the part.

Machining: Kitamura HX300 Machining Centre

In line with its investment strategy in new product lines, this centre increases its technological capacities and its parts range.

Characteristics of the machining centre:

• 4-axis CNC horizontal machining centre
• Maximum part dimensions: ø500×745 mm
• Medium and long series
• Starting material: block or pre-formed part (melting, injection, stamping, etc.)

This machining centre is integrated with the rest of the Industry 4.0 equipment and the production process is controlled online.

Finishes: Finishing equipment

To reinforce the finishing section, FACTOR has incorporated a piece of equipment that can meet a wide range of surface requirements.

To create a perfect and speedy finish for different types of parts, both lathed and milled.

More post-machining finishing options are now available. They are now equipped to debur, smoothen, roughen, buff and polish any type of part in any material.
