ESCO ESCOMATIC D2 / D5

Escomatic D2 The D2 is the ideal swiss type screw machine for turning accurate parts produced in high volume with diameters up to 5mm (0.197in). The non-stop production of the D2 and D5 machines offers the most economical manufacturing method, which results in maximum profits. How it works... Turning While the material is held by a guide bushing, the turning and chip removal is performed by the unique Esco Principle. This involves the cutting tools rotating around the material at up to 8000 rpm. When cutting off, the counter collet holds the machined part for perfect flatness and a burr free end. Material Straightening The material is fed into the machine from a coil which runs through a rotating straightener. It produces a bar with a straightness quality equivalent to standard bar stock. Material Feeding The material is clamped between a set of grooved rollers whose rotation controls feeding. The clamping pressure is adjustable and the grooves are matched to the profile of the material. Using this principle very small wire can be machined without whipping or bending (down to 0.012in!) 1. counter collet 2. rotating toolhead 3. feedrollers 4. straightening unit Escomatic D5 The D5 is built with the same concept as the D2 including the straightener, feed device and rotating toolhead. The D5 adds a three station turrets consisting of: 1. Counter collet 2. drilling spindles for endworking operations
