CNC end-working of tubes and pipes on both sides

precise machining units, including a concentric work-holding technology. All components are perfectly aligned in order to realise high accuracy over the length.

AS the requirements for single- and double-sided end-working of tubes and pipes increase, Arla’s new machines offer more capabilities to realise chip cutting processes of complex OD and ID contours. This end-working concept is used in the automotive, petrochemical (oil and gas), ship and offshore industries, and also in industrial areas with challenging machining jobs, for example when manufacturing hydraulic cylinders, piston rods and axles. The Arla EMXSC-2 is a CNC- controlled end-working machine for the double-sided machining of work- pieces with a maximum OD of 275mm and a maximum workpiece length of 2,500mm. The machine concept is based on a solid frame with two

A63). Typical applications are OD and ID turning, facing, tapping, bevelling, threading, grooving, chamfering and boring, in particular for the welding end preparation and any other manufacturing process of cylinders, pipes and tubes within a single clamp.

The end-working concept comprises a fixed workpiece and revolving tools. All machining units are directly driven by servomotors and are designed for high torques and high performance. In order to allow several machining steps in sequence, the units are built with integrated water-cooled motor spindles and high-performance facing head technology. The machine has automatic tool changing systems (ATC) on both sides for ten complex tools (HSK
