In this episode of Technical Coner MTDCNC’s Tony Gunn reviews the MODIG HHV machining Centre. The MODIG HHV (Horizontal High Velocity) was developed in close cooperation with the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers. Since its introduction, it quickly became the first choice of top performing machine shops. It’s ideal for limited production runs, nesting, or high-volume production. Raw material is loaded from the left side into the machine, the HHV automatically pulls the raw material into position for machining and delivers finished parts into a part catcher. Instead of cutting raw material into specific lengths, the HHV handles uncut bars and extrusions. The benefits of making many parts from the same size bar or extrusion are, reduced setup time, no workholding & a significant reduction in cycle time. Standard machining often requires multiple setups. The HHV machines parts complete in one setup, with no workholding. Your machining cycle time at the process design stage are up to 50% faster machining time over conventional processes, better than 95% machine uptime, & true lean and green production.
