High-Speed Tube and Bar Cut-Off Machine
The high speed bar & tube cutoff 7G Impulse sets standards in separation of bars and tubes free from coolants and lubricants. Utilizing the Schuster 7G process NO MATERIAL is lost due to kerf from part to part. Clean edged no shape deformation parts are cutoff using the Schuster 7G adiabatic process. Separation results because of the adiabatic principle, which means that due to a very short, reproducible pulse a very high energy is generated. The impulse will be computed and controlled by a special software –depending on the material and separating surface. A special damping-unit in combination with an anvil transforms the residual energy. The loading of material is executed with a bar feeder style loading system. Random lengths can be ran in sections up to approx. 300mm length can be sorted for family or part production. The machine control allows easy handling of operational parameters in terms of pre-saved records or by manually defining the cutting-velocity as well as the first-cut and section length.

Axle Turning and Drilling with Center Drive
What makes the Schuster F series center-drive lathe different is the machine's spindle. The spindle is located in the middle of the vertical bed rather than on one end. Turrets operate on both ends of the spindle with X, Z and sometimes Y axes motions. The flexibility of this machine gives the customer a four-axis turning center. With Schuster the part is gripped in the middle, both ends can be machined simultaneously. This setup promotes production of close tolerance work pieces with a single chucking of the blank. The reduced handling, concentricity and geometric relationships between part features are best in class. Schuster’s integrated loading and unloading via hydraulically actuated grippers on the turret give you the highest throughput and least manpower requirement. The spindle also has the ability to traverse up and down in the Z axis to facilitate loading and unloading of long shafts. Schuster center-drive lathes are specifically designed to process shaft work primarily for automotive and truck applications as throughput can be very high.
For production applications, the ability to use two turrets simultaneously on the part keeps cycle times at their lowest and handling at a minimum and makes you the customer the winner with Schuster technology. Schuster’s center drive lathes are a proven concept, and a winning answer for your shaft work. Companies are constantly seeking ways to reduce setups, handlings and most of all make better parts for less. The Schuster center-drive concept is definitely the answer!
