According to Mitsui Seiki USA, one of the leading builders of jig borers, the market demand for these ultra-precise machines is on the rise. \u201cJig borers typically last 25 to 30 years,\u201d said Mitsui Seiki USA\u2019s Bill Malanche, COO. \u201cNow seems to be the time that people are retiring their legacy machines and looking to buy new.\u201d Mitsui Seiki\u2019s newest line, the J12\/J\/16 jig borer series, combines large capacity and high precision to meet the increasing need for accuracy for machining workpieces such as molds and castings. The machines offer Y-axis stroke of either 1,250 mm or 1,600 mm, with standard table sizes of 2,400 mm x 1,250 mm or 2,900 mm x 1,600 mm.<\/p>\n
The machines\u2019 strong and durable structures provide table lateral movement accuracy of 2.5 \u00b5m or better. The Z-axis guide system is restrained on four sides to maximize rigidity and reliability, and dual ball screws ensure stable feed motion.<\/p>\n
For precision holemaking applications, XY interpolation enables the J12\/J16 machines to carry out high-precision contouring by utilizing an end mill instead of a boring tool, eliminating the need to manually adjust a boring tool to accurately finish the hole diameter avoiding bottlenecks. Pitch accuracy is within 5 \u00b5m even for large-pitch holes.<\/p>\n
The machines feature a 12,000 rpm 50 taper spindle and automatic toolchange capacity of 60 tools.<\/p>\n
Additional options such as quill spindle, increased work capacity, as well as automation features are available to meet the customers\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cMachines in Mitsui Seiki\u2019s J12\/J\/16 jig borer series are engineered to process a large range of part sizes with unceasing repeatability,\u201d said Malanche. \u201cThey provide the durability, accuracy and flexibility required in today\u2019s highly-competitive manufacturing environment.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
