Harrison Lathe ALPHA PLUS 330S

The Alpha Plus 330S has the power (10HP/7 The Alpha Plus 330S has the power (10HP/7.5kW), accuracy, repeatability and performance to produce batch quantities of both simple and complex components while providing unrivalled ease-of-use to its operators. With four modes of operation, including manual, semi-automatic, AlphaLink and full Fanuc G-code programming, this user-friendly lathe is productive from day one. Built to Harrison�s uncompromising world-class standards, the Alpha Plus 330S incorporates Class 9 Gamet taper roller spindle bearings, 1" precision ballscrews and full digital motors, drives, control and ultra thin flat screen from Fanuc. The Alpha Plus 330S is just one in a range of precision engineered solutions � tailored precisely to satisfy the most demanding applications in training, development, toolroom and small-to-medium size batch production. · Four modes of operation �manual, semi-automatic, AlphaLink CAD/CAM system, and full G-code pr ogram · Powerful GE Fanuc 21I-T controller · Pulse coded electronic handwheels · Digital servo motors for (X) and (Y) axes · Ballscrew accuracy THE ALPHA SYSTEM The Alpha system is like no other turning system on earth. It has been developed by Harrison for companies wishing to produce one-offs and small batches of turned parts swiftly and efficiently. The Alpha system is simple to use and easy to learn. The Alpha system is a perfect blend of a high quality machine tool, production engineering know-how, advanced electronics, and a deep understanding of customer�s needs for turning one-offs and small batches. ________________________________________________ Manual Operation In manual operation the Alpha machine may be used in exactly the same way as a conventional manual center lathe fitted with a DRO. Any turner can operate this machine instantly. ________________________________________________ Semi-Automatic Sequential Operation Programmed sequential operations in simple question/answer page format at the machine mounted console for parallel turning, chamfer, radius, taper and multistart threads. Constant surface speed is a standard feature. Ideally suited for one-off and small batch production. ________________________________________________ Auto Cycle Operation (AlphaLink) Complex profiles and threads are generated from the AlphaLink CAD/CAM (standard equipment) which can be written during machine operation and downloaded through the RS232 Port. The component is produced from automatic cycles and setting time is further reduced. One-off, small and medium batch production is fully utilized. ________________________________________________ Full Fanuc G-Code Programming To enable full G-code programming a separate interlocked keypad has been included at the machine control console in addition to the existing Alpha keypad. The use of this standard ISO Fanuc keypad ensures complete and immediate familiarity for cnc operators.
