UNIVERTOR AM-1 / AM-2 Version with one or two spindles The modularly designed vertical precision turning machines of the UNIVERTOR AM are highly flexible and predestined for the complete machining of different batch sizes at lowest costs per piece. Technology integrations of rotational turning, hard turning, grinding, drilling, milling in one workspace enable high workpiece quality, contour accuracy and surface finish. In addition, setup, programming and idle times are significantly reduced. Highly productive simultaneous machining in one machine with up to two powerful disc turrets realize intelligent...

Version AM-T In the working area of the UNIVERTOR AM-T with vertical spindle-slide arrangement and multifunction slide, the workpieces are cycled through the machine according to the transfer principle. The transfer takes place directly from the hanging pick-up spindle into the standing vertical spindle. The additional turrets, drilling heads or multifunctional slides mounted on the special column module enable a wide range of machining options. In this way, subsequent operations can be carried out in one work area with significantly reduced non-productive times and with maximum transfer precision...

Technical highlights Original WEISSER synchronous motor spindle with direct drive technology Highest precision and accuracy More than 160 years of experience in development, design and own production of motor spindles carried out an unmatched competence potential, which is beneficial for WEISSER customers, Measuring of all components and units relevant for the accuracy - despite high basic accuracies the individual components are „finely assembled“. As a result, mechanical deviations during assembly are minimized and wear is reduced. This ensures a high long-term stability of the complete machine...

4-axes machining Highly productive simultaneous machining in one machine with two powerful disk turrets (4-axes). Intelligent technology processes and the combination of different machining steps offer high savings potential. Working with two tools simultaneously shortens the machining times of the workpiece and reduces the cost per part. Rotational turning With the rotation turning process developed and patented by WEISSER, precisely machined surfaces can be generated with twist-free finishing precision and thus replace the expensive grinding operations. The simultaneous rotation of workpiece...

Hard turning Out-of-round turning Internal / external grinding Gear cutting (hobbing) Hard turning describes the turning of steel with a hardness of more than 45 HRC. It is an efficient alternative for grinding hardened workpieces. The advantages of this process are shorter cycle, set-up and tooling times as well as the relatively lower investment costs and the options of wet and dry machining. 3 times capacity with WEISSER HOT system for shorter piece times and lower piece costs. The technology enables the highly productive machining of a wide range of workpieces, such as pistons for combustion...

Intelligent technology processes and complete Turnkey systems Typical, machine-specific workpieces with cycle and technical challenges. WEISSER machining centers with integrated technology concepts are the solution to demands for shorter process times, productivity and process safety. Shorter cycle times and the associated lower unit costs are decisive competitive factors, especially when manufacturing high quantities. WEISSER turnkey solutions not only score at high quantities but also at small quantities with high set-up flexibility. We pass this competitive advantage on to our customers. With...
