Avers Machine & Mfg, a high quality job shop, needed to upgrade its milling capability and improve set-ups to increase productivity. “We were looking for a larger machine to do multiple set-ups,” said Chris Wellman, Vice President, Avers. “We wanted a mill with a fairly large work area, yet we had to accomplish this within limited floor space – and it had to be a high RPM machine.”
The Hwacheon Sirius UM vertical machining center (VMC) fit the requirements. “We created a new fixture for the machine that allows us to do four aluminum parts for one of our packaging customers in one set-up,” said Wellman. “Previously, we were taking 7 minutes to do two. Now, with the Hwacheon and the new set-up, we are doing four pieces in 5 minutes.” The job includes milling, drilling tapping and creating slots.
Another job became available for Avers that the Hwacheon made possible to quote. “We could not quote the job before because we lacked the spindle RPM required to put a .062 inch end mill into a pocket running at 17,000 RPM,” Wellman said. “Now, because of the additional speed the machine provides, we successfully quoted the job and we are getting greater productivity.”
Avers produces precision machined components in various materials such as aluminum, tool steel, plastics, high alloy steels, stainless steels, brass and bronze, with quantities from low to higher volume and emphasis on quality of product made to customer specifications.
“Hwacheon design casts its own bases, gearing couplings and chucks. The base to me is a key component of the machine,” said Wellman. “As a properly designed foundation, it provides us a much better chance at running optimally.”
Heavy and stable, the Sirius UM is a high speed, high precision 3-axis vertical designed for mold and die work. The machine has an 850 mm (33.46″) x 500 mm (19.70″) work table with 800 kg (1,764 lb.) load capacity, XYZ strokes of 750 mm (29.53″) x 500 mm (19.70″) x 450 mm (17.72″) and rapid positioning of 24 m/min. Rigid roller linear guide ways support stable performance at Avers over long cycles. The 40-taper tools are changed in 2.5 seconds.
