Changing parts with a loading/unloading time of less than 5 seconds, Fuji's FS4-3500 automated turning center with a four-position turret is the fastest in its class. Ideal for large production runs, this machine allows loading and unloading of the workpiece during spindle rotation. Two separate loaders are included for loading and unloading.
The turning center incorporates a 30-degree bed design. The saddle and cross slides are coated with Turcite-type material to reduce stick slip. The machine is especially suitable for bearing applications, as well as transmission parts requiring short cycle times. This FS4-Series can be applied to most applications that require both OD and ID turning. The machine can be connected with a part flip station for complete OP-10/OP-20 turning. Maximum part diameter is 6.0".
