Rotary transfer machine features EMC

Hydromat. will exhibit its Rotary Transfer machines featuring the EPIC R/T EMC Technology. The EPIC R/T possesses all of the general characteristics of the more conventional Hydromat machines and maintains the integrity, reliability and flexibility of its predecessors. What sets this product line apart is its new technology, the acronym EMC stands for Embedded Motion Control. This technology features special plug & play control architecture that is integrated or embedded into each toolspindle unit. The EPIC R/T allows for fully independent and programmable functionality for each axis motion, thus eliminating the use of conventional valves and more complex CNC control components. When a toolspindle is moved from one location on the machine to another, the only change needed is to program the unit's strokes. There is no need to re-configure the machine's CNC when tool units are changed. Programming of the unit can be done off-line and downloaded from a remote location or the units can be programmed at the machine.

Hydromat has modified the basic machine casting concept traditionally used on its rotary transfer machines and has eliminated components originally needed to support non-CNC or partial CNC Hydromat machines. As a result, the EPIC R/T is an enhanced, full CNC product line offers the productivity of rotary transfer machining, combined with all the flexibility of full CNC technology.

Significant advantages and features of EPIC R/T machines are Full CNC programmability, quick and easy changeovers, (typically 1-3 hours) competitive manufacturing of small, medium, and large production quantities, easy centralized programming, and integrated modem connections for fast problem solving. Because of the casting modifications and various component integration differences, the new EPIC R/T line will be a unique Hydromat product.
