Manufacturing industrial vehicles and forestry machinery, such as bulldozers, harvesters, forwarders and mobile cranes, is characterised by its high productivity. Takt time, serial production or batch manufacturing are routine in such a demanding sector.
Developing technologically advanced manufacturing solutions, which reduce machining times and offer high availability and accuracy, is key to be able to meet the sector’s production challenges.
The solutions must also minimise downtime, associated to fitting parts or auxiliary operations, thus optimising time when changing heads and tools. Furthermore, they must allow unattended production, where operator intervention is minimum, but reliability is guaranteed.
Soraluce, the machine-tool manufacturer and leader in developing milling, boring and multitasking machines, offers a wide range of machining solutions to manufacture industrial vehicles, capable of meeting the sector’s demands and fully focused on achieving maximum productivity and guaranteeing precision.
Thanks to its technological development of milling solutions and its expertise and experience in machining engineering, Soraluce is able to deliver customised solutions adapted to each customer’s production needs and for each specific application.
A solution for each part
The company produces milling machines for the machining of the key parts in the industrial vehicle sector, such as booms, arms, frames and buckets, and adapts the solution to the required takt time.
Specifically, Soraluce offers different solutions in this area, from individual machines with a rotary table, flexible solutions and optimum for the machining of frames, to duplex solutions with pendulum, as they are systems consisting of two machines working on the same component at the same time.
Duplex solutions allow machining times to be halved while guaranteeing the precision of the workpiece as machining is thus performed in a single clamping. It is a suitable solution both for manufacturing serial parts and batch production. Furthermore, a single operator can control the duplex milling machines and the plant space required for the machines is reduced compared to other conventional solutions. This guarantees a rapid return on the investment given the high productivity.
Pendulum machining (multiple work areas) also improves productivity significantly, by incorporating several workstations for uninterrupted machining. The workpieces can be handled while the machine continues operating at another station.
Those systems comply with the requirements of unattended production, are safe and allow the machine’s CNC programs to be synchronised to increase productivity.
The manufacturer likewise offers highly flexible and automated solutions, with fully palletised systems, aimed at the unattended production of large parts and with complex and variable geometries.
Moreover, Soraluce has the capacity to execute integral projects, full machining lines and turnkey solutions for a specific manufacturing problem, which is a further step in the automation processes.
