Boost Production Throughputs with Prewo Special Purpose Machines (SPM’s) – Case Study-02

Are you into high volume production drilling or tapping operations?

Prewo is well known in India for its high quality production drilling and tapping machines. PVP products are built to reduce CYCLE TIME, thereby increasing productivity. Our expertise is in implementing high volume production drilling and tapping operations.
 
Production Tapping
Prewo has simplified the tapping process. Most metal parts that require tapped holes can be easily be tapped at a very high rate using Prewo Automatic Tapping Machines.  We have the experience to create complex clamping fixtures quickly and affordably, thus converting our standard modules into highly efficient, production tapping machines for batches which run into thousands per shift.

Special Purpose Machines (SPM’s).
Prewo tapping and drilling machines can help you finish your metal parts requiring drilled or tapped holes quickly and easily.

Case Study-02
The component shown below is a VE Housing made of aluminum.  The customer wanted M6 Tap holes  on 4 sides, the operation involved 12 Taps per component.  After careful study of the operation and cycle time our design team came up with a Special Purpose Production Tapping Machine as shown in picture below




This machine was designed using 3Nos. Prewo 14-05 Horizontal tapping machine with multi-head  and 1No. Prewo 14-05 Vertical tapping machine with multi-head. This machine is capable of tapping 12 holes within 25 secs per cycle.

Using Multi-Spindle Heads, these special purpose machines was built to reduce CYCLE TIME, thereby increasing productivity. 

When you use a PREWO SPM, for drilling and tapping the possibility of missing out on an operation is NIL: They are far more cost effective than machining centers, though similar production rates are achieved, simply because  the cost of tooling for an SPM is much less. Furthermore multi heads can be mounted on SPM spindles, whereas they cannot be used with Machining Centers.

Keep up Production with Prewo drilling machines – Case Study-01

Prewo is well known in India for its high quality production drilling and tapping machines. PVP products are built to reduce CYCLE TIME, thereby increasing productivity. Our expertise is in implementing high volume production drilling and tapping operations.  

Production Drilling
We offer column drilling machines that incorporate special features which are essential for meeting present day production demands. These machines with their massive and rigid construction, ease of operation and control, fulfill a definite need when thousands of components have to be drilled per shift.
They have proved themselves over a number of years in the Indian industry as very reliable, robust production drilling machines. These machines are also available with Hydraulic Feed Units. This ensures rapid feed to a set depth (setting by limit switch) and rapid return to home position after finishing drilling. Hence, holes can be produced in very high volumes  at lower cost, accurately.

Case Study-01
We were approached by leading manufacturer of 2-wheelers for providing a solution for drilling 36 holes in a motorcycle hub. After careful study of the production rate and cycle time our design team came up with a Special Purpose Production Drilling Machine as shown in picture below.


This machine is designed to drill 36 holes (18 per side) in 18 seconds. Using Multi-Spindle Heads, these special purpose machines was built to reduce CYCLE TIME, thereby increasing productivity.
