| Exceptionally accurate, reliable, productive… but also noiseless The multi-spindle loader of the “STANDARD” series by Pietro Cucchi are by now recognized and highly regarded all over the world. They were the first to introduce a series of advantages, combining accuracy, reliability, high production rates, and noiselessness. They experienced a continuous progress thanks to research and the introduction of a series of pioneering features which have confirmed their success year after year: • The stock reel and the lathe feeding system have been completely removed to turn the machine into a wholly automatic loader. • Removal of the feed fingers and consequent increase in the machining capacity of the lathe. • Bar feeding is performed by using a hydraulic motor for each spindle. A hydraulic distributor controls the flow of each motor, allowing feeding in multiple positions simultaneously. • Reduction of loading times down to 18”, thanks to complete automation with an increase in lathe productivity by up to 45%, without the need of limiting the spindle rotation speed or setting the drum indexing speed. • The use of die-cast components made of a particularly resistant and soundproofing synthetic resin in the bar guide drum allowed for a remarkable reduction in vibrations and the noise generated by the rotating bars. The choice (upon request) of the latest Pietro Cucchi innovations - rotating centring devices, automatic spring bushes and fork centring devices - further adds to this benefit. |
