CNC Automation for Bearing and Transmission Parts | New Partner
Bearing ring and transmission part automation: gantry or robot tending on CNC lathes, one-to-two cells, storage feeding and in-line inspection after machining.
Machining Automation for Bearings and Transmission Parts
Ring and disc parts are regular in shape and run in large batches — one of the best fits for robot machine tending.
Bearings & Transmission, in short
Bearing rings, hub bearing units, flanges, gear blanks and transmission shafts are ring and disc parts: the shape is regular and the batches are very large, which makes them one of the workpieces that suit robot machine tending best. The work is heavy for operators, inside and outside diameters and end faces are held to tight tolerances, and several operations in sequence mean frequent transfer between machines. Lathe loading and unloading, one-to-two tending cells, storage and feeding, and in-line inspection after machining are the usual combination.
Typical pain points in this industry
Typical workpieces
Ring workpieces are mostly annular; gripping is usually internal expansion or external clamping, decided by wall thickness and accuracy requirements.
