Differential Housing: Vertical Lathe (120s Cycle)

Summary

This page is an industry-reference summary. Customer names are anonymized and integrator names are removed; machine brands and models are used only to explain the process. It is not a New Partner delivered case.

Configuration

• Machine: EMAG VL 6 vertical lathe (4 units).
• Loading: programmable electric manipulator.
• Workpiece: differential housing, metal.
• Cycle: overall cycle 120s.

A typical sequence is: blanks enter a tray, pallet or conveyor; the programmable electric manipulator picks a part; the machine clamps and machines it; the finished part is unloaded or inspected. The exact fixture, buffer and flow follow the public source.

Reported results

The source reports efficiency and quality benefits, without an acceptance report. No sample size, measurement period or acceptance protocol is provided, so it is not a New Partner commitment.

Applicability

For automotive parts parts such as differential housing. Best suited to mixed-part, flexible picking with trays or storage. Part weight, gripper type, machine layout and safety fencing determine the robot size and count.

FAQ

Is this a New Partner delivered case? No. It is a public industry reference with the customer and integrator anonymized.

Which loading method fits differential housing? The source uses programmable electric manipulator. Selection also depends on blank form, cycle time, machine layout and changeover frequency.

Can the cycle time be used as an acceptance target? Not directly. The source gives no timing method, sample size or acceptance report; re-measure with your own part, fixture and machine.
