4-axis Machining of Articulated Cages
Articulated cages are produced in high volumes which is perfect for the VTC 100-4 4-axis turning center. Loading and unloading of the machine is done by the turrets. While one workpiece gripper (in the turret) moves a raw part into the machine, the other gripper simultaneously picks up the finished articulated cage. The entire process only takes a few seconds.
Technologies for machining of articulated cages:
- External turning
- Milling of windows
- Soft and hard machining
