The machine still retained the induction motor and original clutch gearbox
but the customer wanted to achieve constant surface speed without the expense
and extended downtime that replacement spindle drive and gearbox would
entail. A-Tec Systems developed a psuedo constant
surface speed facility by automatically changing gear whilst the machine
was performing a contour. Result: No additional project costs, downtime
just two weeks. To speed up the process of reintroducing the machine back
into production. A-Tec Systems developed a part
program translator which would convert the original Mark Century 1050 programs
into the new program format. |
