Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the AT 200 and AF 400 machines designed for con rod machining, emphasizing flexibility, productivity, and precision. The machines are specialized for semi-finish and finish machining, respectively, allowing parallel processing and optimized workflows.

Specifications and Features
  • AT 200: Designed for semi-finish machining, it supports up to 4 fixtures simultaneously, features turret heads with multiple tools, and offers high thermal stability and operator convenience. It is compact, versatile, and allows for quick change-overs.
  • AF 400: Focused on finish machining, it provides high precision with optimized servo axis arrangements and hydrostatic spindles. It supports programmable geometry for bores and offers scalability in production.
  • AX 400: Used for rough machining, it can handle up to 4 con rods simultaneously and features a main time-parallel tool change and loading system.

Machining Processes
  • Rough Machining: Includes rough bore crank and pin end, bolt seat machining, and bush insertion.
  • Semi-Finish Machining: Involves semi-finish bore crank end, tee-pee machining, and face milling.
  • Finish Machining: Encompasses fine bore crank and pin end, NC-controlled form and oval boring, and roller burnishing.

Technological Innovations
  • Fracture Splitting and Assembly: Utilizes laser scribing, fracture splitting, and torquing with advanced technologies like nitrogen cooling and nut runner technology.
  • Rotary Index Table Assembly Machine: Offers cycle times under 9 seconds and integrates operations like measuring and calibrating.

Operational Efficiency
  • Parallel Machining: The separation of semi-finish and finish machining into two machines enhances productivity and precision.
  • Spindle Efficiency: Fine boring spindles are used exclusively for finish machining, ensuring precision where needed.

Flexibility and Versatility
  • Clamping Fixture: Allows for programmable clamping sequences and quick change-overs, supporting multiple component types without downtime.
  • Turret Boring Heads: Can accommodate various tool configurations, enhancing the machine's adaptability to different machining tasks.

Conclusion
The AT 200 and AF 400 machines represent a significant advancement in con rod machining, offering high precision, flexibility, and productivity through specialized and modular designs.

TURRET BORING HEAD UNCOMPROMISINGLY SPECIALIZED The AT 200 and the AF 400 con rod machines are specialized in semi-finish and finish machining whereby every machine is optimally designed for the corresponding requirements. Highly precise sub-assemblies are only used where required. The division of work tasks to two machines provides for easier and clearer process sequences. PARALLEL MACHINING In a machine concept combining finish and semi-finish machining, the corresponding work steps can not be realized simultaneously at different stations. Therefore the ALFING solution allocates the machining...

UNCOMPROMISINGLY FLEXIBLE The clamping fixture swivels around the A-axis and can be moved linearly in Y-direction. It can be quickly changed over and allows a clamping sequence freely programmable in the NC program. Due to the high flexibility it offers the possibility to quickly, easily and cost-efficiently produce different component types on the machine. Thanks to the clamping tombstone concept, up to 4 different component types can be machined without any change-over. HYDRAULIC ROTARY DISTRIBUTOR The rotary distributor provides 11 possible connection points: 1 x lubrication 5 x clamping /...

UNCOMPROMISINGLY VARIABLE Up to two turret heads can be placed onto the slide moving in X- and Z-direction. Thus, components can be machined parallel, significantly increasing the total output. ANY COMBINATION POSSIBLE Every turret head can receive in all 4, 6 or 8 tools. The choice is between tool clamping systems in three different sizes: HSK 63, HSK 80 and HSK 100. Instead of standard tools, also double spindle heads can be used for bolt hole machining in order to further increase the machine productivity. NO CHIP-IN-SPINDLE RISK The tool turret principle prevents the penetration of a chip...
