ELHA Manufacturing Modules are designed to overcome the inefficiencies of conventional machining methods. These modules feature a vertical design in which workpieces are mounted on moving fixtures and moved in multiple axes, and workpieces are moved from spindle to spindle, with the spindle and tooling forming a functional unit. It increases productivity by allowing multiple spindles to machine up to eight workpieces simultaneously, there is no loss of production during tool changes thanks to drum-type turrets that can accommodate more than 100 tools, and even turning operations are possible. These systems replace traditional machining centres, requiring less personnel, space and energy, while offering flexible automation options and high availability and easy maintenance with high accessibility, making them suitable for both mass production of small and medium-sized parts and heavy machining processes.

MANUFACTURING MODULE / FM SERIES

With the FM Production Module;

-All necessary tools are arranged in a fixed position within the machining area.

-Each tool has its own, optimised spindle size and is driven using multiple spindle heads or turrets.

-The workpiece(s) and worktable move from tool to tool; tool change time is “0”.

-No tool change in the process; no inaccuracies due to tool change.

-Single/multiple part clamping and single/multiple spindle machining possible.

TRANSFER CENTRES / FM SMART

The FM SMART concept is the best machining concept for medium to high-volume production and small to medium-sized workpieces. It is optimised for light metals, (stainless) steels and cast and forged materials.

FM SMART Series 1: Based on ELHA's FM 3+X production module. With a maximum of 2 SRR (Spindelreihenrevolver) or SRM (Spindelreihenmagazin) units, each unit accommodates 8 tools in double spindle arrangement. Spindle distance is 160 mm.

FM SMART Series 2: Based on ELHA's FM 3+X hd production module. The basic version comes with 2 units, optionally expandable up to 4 units. Each unit has 8 spindle rows in 2, 3 or 4 spindle arrangements and can support up to 32 different tools in total. Spindle distances can be selected as 160 mm or 320 mm. Series 2 has features such as hydraulic pin (Y/B axis) and double ball screw drive on all linear axes.
