Methodology Machine Instruments’ launches Flip-Help 200i and 270i automation techniques for Nakamura-Tome turning facilities.
Methodology Machine Instruments, a excessive precision CNC machines and instruments provider, has launched the Flip-Help 200i and 270i from RoboJob as its first, end-to-end normal automation system for Nakamura-Tome turning facilities.
Flip Help is a semi-collaborative system developed for lathe automation. The product comes with a easy tablet-style HMI and normal Ethernet IP interface permits outlets to vary over from one half to a different inside minutes.
“By pairing the Flip-Help from RoboJob with Nakamura-Tome, we’ve got created a novel automation answer for high-mix/low-volume and/or mid-volume with frequent changeovers on spherical workpieces typically related to Nakamura lathes,” stated Zach Spencer, Strategies’ Automation Supervisor.

It options open ground setup with space sensors to maximise operator security and accessibility. a pre-programmable FANUC robotic hundreds blanks and unloads completed components from the stocking desk. Choices can be found that permit the robotic to course of shafts, rotate components, and interface with a bar-feeder. The built-in, automated air blow nozzle on the twin, three-jaw gripper permits the robotic to discard chips and coolant away from the workholding additional streamlining operations with none handbook intervention.
“In introducing Flip-Help for Nakamura-Tome, machine homeowners achieve a user-friendly, dependable automation system that can improve effectivity and output on Day 1 with none operator upskilling necessities,” added Sergio Tondato, Strategies’ Nakamura-Tome product supervisor.
