MAG Industrial Automation Systems Hessapp Division (www.hessapp.com) is introducing the DVH250I twin spindle vertical pick-up turning center designed for high-volume production applications. The center has a work envelope of 11.8 inches by 7.9 inches (300 mm x 200 mm) and requires 64.5 square feet of floor space. Designed to machine parts up to 9.8 inches (250 mm) in diameter, the DVH250I has a shuttle-type part feeder. Axis traverse rates are 1,772 ipm (45 m/min) in the X direction and 1,181 ipm (30 m/min) in the Z direction. The twin spindle design allows parallel production of two identical parts simultaneously, or parallel production of two different parts. The center can also be used to sequentially process a single part by moving it from spindle to spindle. Each of the two machining areas can be equipped with a 12-position tool turret for static tools and powered tools are also available.
