Mitsui Seiki Bringing Precision, Repeatability and Versatility to IMTS 2024

 

Mitsui Seiki is bringing three of its most versatile and accurate machines to booth 338700 at IMTS 2024 September 9-14 at McCormick Place, Chicago, IL. Mitsui Seiki Regional Sales Manager Tyler Bonde is reinforcing the Mitsui Seiki technology in their booth by teaching attendees how to achieve repeatable accuracy in his conference talk “Precision Repeatability: How to Make Great Parts Over and Over and Over Again at 11am on Wednesday, Sept. 11. 

These machines, used in tandem or on their own, enable users to produce highly accurate parts again and again:

Vertex 55X III – The ultra-high precision Vertex 55X III can perform multiple functions in one machine, making it ideally suited for aerospace and mold and die work. The 55X is designed for versatility and precision and can be adapted to integrate seamlessly into any machining cell. To demonstrate this, the 55X at IMTS will showcase a field retrofittable pallet system with shared tool capacity, and a total of 12 pallets and 140 tools. 

HU100-TS 5-axis Tilt Spindle Machining Center - The HU100-TS ’s powerful linear and rotary axes configured with a high torque spindle making it ideal for machining complex parts with precision and consistency. The updated line provides exceptional rigidity and accuracy to profitably mill materials such as titanium, inconel, stainless steel, and challenging alloys common in aerospace, power generation, defense and other ultra precision, high-value applications.

J350G Jig Grinder - The J350G offers a combination of application flexibility, accuracy, reliability and operator-friendly operation. The grinding infeed stroke is the largest available among all machines in its class. With a U-axis range of -3mm to +50mm relative to the spindle center, this solution provides the versatility to grind small and large diameter holes, as well as free-form complex features, using a single wheel in a continuous, automatic mode.

Precision Repeatability: How to Make Great Parts Over and Over and Over Again – Presented by Mitsui Seiki Regional Sales Manager, Tyler Bonde on Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 11 am. This interactive discussion promises to teach attendees the key elements that go into achieving precision repeatability, how to set up for success with the equipment users already have, and how to ensure they get the necessary machine tool needed to achieve their goals.

“For nearly a century, our commitment to delivering premier machining technology and exceptional customer service to global manufacturing has been unwavering," stated Daniel Cleary, President of Mitsui Seiki. "Having Tyler Bonde share insights on achieving repeatable precision with conference attendees exemplifies our ongoing dedication to collaboration and doing our part towards advancing the manufacturing industry.”

Mitsui Seiki To Feature HU100-TS Tilt Spindle Machine and J350G Jig Grinder at IMTS 2024

Mitsui Seiki’s popular HU100-TS tilt-spindle 5-axis horizontal machining center, and its high-performance J350G jig grinder will be on display in booth 338700 at IMTS 2024 September 9-14 at McCormick Place, Chicago, IL. The versatile HU100-TS is built to handle machining of medium to large, hard-metal workpieces. The J350G jig grinder can grind a variety of features automatically without changing wheels.

The HU100-TS line features powerful linear and rotary axes configured with a high torque spindle making it ideal for machining complex parts with precision and consistency. The updated line provides exceptional rigidity and accuracy to profitably mill materials such as titanium, inconel, stainless steel, and challenging alloys common in aerospace, power generation, defense and other high-value applications.

The J350G jig grinder features the largest available grinding infeed stroke of all machines in its class. With a U-axis range of -3mm to +50mm relative to the spindle center, this solution provides the versatility to grind small and large diameter holes, as well as free-form complex features, using a single wheel in a continuous, automatic mode. To ensure work profile accuracy, the hand scraped X- and Y-axes are also fitted with precision needle roller bearings.

"Our engineers meticulously focused on both precision and repeatability when updating the HU100-TS, solidifying its position as one of the world's most versatile full 5-axis hard metal milling platforms," stated Daniel Cleary, President of Mitsui Seiki. "The J350G, with its capability to grind a variety of features without changing wheels, stands out as a true workhorse in the realm of jig grinders, which are essential tools in manufacturing."

Mitsui Seiki brings 3rd Generation of Vertex 55X Machine to IMTS 2024

Visitors to booth 338700 at IMTS 2024 September 9-14 at McCormick Place, Chicago, IL can view the ultra-high precision Vertex 55X III, a machine capable of performing multiple functions making it ideally suited for aerospace and mold and die work. The Vertex 55X III uses a Fanuc 31iM-B5 control, making the machine capable of processing tasks such as contour milling, profiling, boring, tapping, and reaming. 

The 55X III line is designed for both versatility and precision. Machines can be adapted to integrate seamlessly into any machining cell. To demonstrate this, the 55X III at IMTS will showcase a field retrofittable pallet system with shared tool capacity. The system will have a total of 12 pallets and 140 tools. 

The Vertex 55X III line includes several configurations, based on table sizes and types from 3.9” (100 mm) to 19.7” (500 mm) diameter. With feed rates as small as 0.004”/min (0.1 mm/min), and minimum resolution of 0.0000004” (0.0001mm) on the X, Y, and Z axes, parts with ultra precise requirements can be machined with ease.  Mitsui Seiki offers 30,000 rpm, 25,000 rpm and 15,000 rpm spindle options with this machine.

"The Vertex line of machines delivers unmatched versatility and precision," stated Daniel Cleary. "We are excited to demonstrate to attendees how integrating a pallet system can seamlessly introduce ultra-precise machining into a continuous production environment."
