Cylinder Core Broaching Machine
The cylinder core broaching machine shown here enables broaching of the variable profile into cylinder cores for door cylinders with variable lengths.
Processing is automated and controlled by data sets.
The integrated 12-station tool magazine, each with 30 tool slots, allows for high flexibility in manufacturing.
Naturally, the machine can be adapted to individual requirements regarding the number of tool magazines and tool slots.
The company WILKA Schließtechnik GmbH in Velbert has now commissioned the world's largest broaching machine for lock cylinder cores for locking systems, with a total weight of 13.5 tons.
The machine sets new standards not only with its size but also in terms of user-friendliness: An intuitive operating concept with a graphical user interface makes handling the complex machine almost "child's play."
The machine has magazine slots for up to 1000 broaching tool segments.
By CNC-controlled variation of the engagement of the broaching tool segments, all conceivable combinations can be realized. This makes it possible to manufacture almost the entire product range data-set-controlled, without time-consuming retooling. In several subsequent operations, bores are automatically deburred or reamed.
Automatic monitoring for tool breakage and wear minimizes running costs.
Overall, the use of the newly developed broaching machine for lock cylinder cores offers numerous advantages, such as:
• High productivity of the system
• Low administrative effort through simple scanning of order data
• No retooling costs
• Timely delivery even of small orders
• Reduction of operating errors (through plausibility check during loading)
• Simplification of internal processes
With this machine, AUMAT has achieved a novelty: The profile variant is broached in a single broaching cut!
Compared to the previously common procedure of performing this operation in two steps, this offers significant advantages in terms of tool costs, setup and adjustment times, and space requirements in the machine room.
