Automation and Turning

Posted on November 12, 2018November 19, 2018 by info resource

Carolina Resource Corp. (“CRC”) continues their strategy of investing in new equipment and technology to support increasing requirements of its customers. In January of 2018 CRC placed a Doosan Lynx 220 LSYC 6 axis Turning Center on their production floor. In February the machine came on for full production with the addition of the automated LNS bar feeder. Parts from .25″ diameter up to 2.635″ diameter can be full automated. Larger parts, up to 8″ diameter, can be manually loaded.

The Lynx 220 LSYC with automated bar feeder, parts catcher and parts conveyor expanded our lights out machining capabilities at CRC. Raw material is feed into the lathe through the bar feeder, parts are turned and milled, swapped to the sub spindle for finish turning and milling for one and done parts. A parts catcher, in combination with a part ejector on the sub spindle, get finished parts out of the machine and onto a parts conveyor. In the first 11 months we have been able to produce over 35,000 parts.

Based out of Youngsville North Carolina and located closely to the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill areas, Carolina Resource Corp. provides Contract Manufacturing and Design to Manufacture services to the Aerospace, Automotive, Medical, Consumer, Recreational Sports, Work Holding, Food Service, Environmental, and Naval Industries.

Carolina Resource Corp. (“CRC”) continues their strategy of investing in new equipment and technology to support increasing requirements of its customers. CRC has placed a Doosan DNM 650 Large High Speed Vertical Machining Center on their production floor.

“Our investment in a Doosan DNM650 Large High Speed Vertical Machines shows our commitment quality and competitiveness.” says Shawn Stecker, CRC Chief Executive Officer. “The larger machining area of 50 x 26 allows us to produce larger parts without moving to reach all features .” Mr. Stecker added.

Renishaw Tool Probing allows CRC to automate in process checks and adjust for tool wear or breakage, while automated part probing confirms in process actual machined dimensions. The Renishaw Part Probe allows us to adjust our datum point on large castings, weldments, and raw stock material differences on a per part basis. The minor dimensional tolerances, squareness, and how the part is loaded differently each time is compensated for using the accuracy of the machine.
