YAMA SEIKI - GS-400 Multi Tasking

Multi-tasking Live Tooling Turrets

Live tooling and C-axis control capabilities on the GS-400 series allows the machine to perform multiple tasks on a work piece, such as turning, milling, drilling and tapping. It eliminates manpower and cycle time, while reducing accuracy lost, which will occur if the part is moved from machine to machine.

More powerful than a standard 40-taper machining center, the GS-400 series live tooling turret is driven by a 12 HP ( 30min. ) AC double wound high torque spindle motor to provide ample power, now, even the toughest of jobs may be tackled without a sweat. ( Please see page 12 for motor spec. )

The 12-station YAMA SEIKI live tooling turret offers 12 stations available for live tooling, live tools rotate in working position only to reduce power loss and heat.

YAMA SEIKI live tooling turret utilizes advance servo indexing technology to achieve 0.5 second indexing times for adjacent stations and 1.5 second for stations at the opposite end of the disk.

Ultimate C-axis Spindle

The most rigid and powerful type of C-axis

The Cf-axis and disk brake system available on the GS-400 series provide the most rigid and powerful type of C-axis on the market today. In Cf-axis mode, a servo motor is engaged and drives the rotation of the spindle; engagement time is approximately 1 second.

Working with the live tooling turret, the Cf-axis and disk brake system enables the machine to perform multiple tasks, such as drilling, tapping, and milling operations, including cylindrical and polar coordinate interpolations, resembling a 4th-axis rotary table on a machining center.

With the FANUC servo motor generating an ultra high resolution of 150 million pulses per spindle rotation and 1,327 ft-lb ( 1,800 Nm ) of spindle torque ( cont. ), machined surface finishes are much superior than Cs-axis ( driven by spindle motor ) equipped machines. Plus, dynamic accuracy is within ±0.02° even under heavy cutting loads.
