Product catalog summary

Introduction to EPIC R/T Product Line:
The EPIC R/T product line by Hydromat represents a significant advancement in transfer machining technology. It retains the reliability and flexibility of previous models while introducing EMC Technology (Embedded Motion Control), developed by Hydromat's engineers in St. Louis. This technology allows for independent and programmable axis motion, simplifying machine configuration and enhancing functionality.

Key Features and Benefits:

EMC Technology enables full CNC programming capabilities, supporting lean manufacturing principles.
Quick changeovers (1-3 hours) significantly reduce downtime, enhancing productivity by over 15% in a two-shift operation.
Improved ROI with changeover times reduced by 300-400%.
Modular toolspindle system with quick-change presettable heads for easy adaptation to vertical machining requirements.
Integrated modem connections for fast troubleshooting and problem-solving.

Machine Specifications:

Max Stock Size: Horizontal Station - Round 1”, Hex 1 7/8”, Square 3/4”; Length 4” 12
Vertical Station: 6
Index Time: 0.5
Weight: 10,000 lbs
Machine Power: 60HP (average)

Advantages Over Conventional Machining:

Eliminates secondary operations and reduces work in progress.
Non-rotating bar stock provides quiet, vibration-free operation.
Precision table indexing ensures accuracy with SPC to 2.0 CpK.
Coolant and chips are contained away from motors and controls.

Conclusion:
Hydromat's EPIC R/T line, with its innovative EMC Technology, offers significant improvements in machining efficiency and flexibility. This advancement is expected to open new opportunities for both Hydromat and its customers, as highlighted by Bruno Schmitter, President and CEO of Hydromat.
