We’ve got a new CNC lathe up and running, which means we can now offer a wider range of machining services. The DN Solutions Puma 3100LY comes with a Y-axis and Fanuc F0TF+ / iHMI control. You’ll also find our new machinist working away at the lathe.
Patent for the gripper
Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH) has granted a patent (131160) for a gripper developed by our company. The invention relates to a gripper used for handling sheet-like objects, such as components of kitchen furniture, from a stack in a manner that ensures the topmost sheet is reliably detached. At the same time, the position of the pallet can be freely located within the robot’s working area.
A new CNC lathe is on its way
Our company is acquiring a new CNC lathe, which will be commissioned within two months. The lathe is a DN Solutions Puma 3100LY model, equipped with a Y-axis and Fanuc F0TF+ / iHMI control, among other features. This new lathe will complement our existing machinery and enable more versatile machining operations to meet the needs of both our own machine construction projects and subcontract machining services. Our machinery investment is also funded by the EU.
Delivery of CNC machining center
Today we delivered a heavy-duty CNC machining center to our customer.
Video: Delivery of a new production line
We delivered a new production line to our customer. The blocks manufactured for modernization were transported as large units (please watch video / Olli Pahikainen). In this way, we enabled our customer to keep the production downtime short.
Next generation Robogrind under development
Our company has started to develop the next generation Robogrind machine (RGNG). Its first generation version was in production from 2000 to 2020.
The machine grinds the insides of chemical containers. Through grinding, remnants of chemicals and corrosion damage can be removed from the interior surface of the containers. At the same time, grinding time is significantly shorter compared to grinding by hand. The use of Robogrind can considerably extend the lifespan of these containers.
The new RGNG differs from its predecessor due to its simpler structure and more advanced automation. Its usability has also better than ever.
The budget for our project is close to 400,000 euros, supplemented by funding from the EU.
