Supplied, Retrofitted and upgraded Machine

Our Customer approached Seymour for a full turnkey package from specification through supply, retrofit ,installation, make legally compliant, Bespoke Fixtures, tooling package, training and service of a machine that was suitable for milling and drilling all the requirements for their own products.  This Elgamill was located in Europe, it had been dormant for some time and had faults.  This was to be the companies first CNC milling machine so ease of use was essential.

The original Heidenhain CNC was removed and replaced.  The original electrical panel was very large and installed next to the machine.   This was completely stripped with the servo drives moved to the much smaller Electrical panel which was fitted to the machine Column.  This greatly reduced the machine overall footprint.

• Complete new electrical panel configuration
• Fagor 8055MC providing greatly improved functionality including;
• Modern intuitive operator interface
• Much Faster program processing
• Much faster Boot time
• Networking
• Large capacity program storage
• Modern conversational programming
• Diagnostics with detail

• Swivel function for the universal head (see here for information. )
• BS EN ISO 13849-1 Compliant Safety system
• Axis drive refurbishment and repair
• Integration with Analogue Axis Servo drives
• Integration with Analogue Spindle Drive
• Auto Milling head rebuild
• Auto Milling head integration
• Reduced power consumption through improved electrical design
• Reduced overall machine footprint due to column mounted compact Electrical panel
• Improved Machine diagnostics
• Balance system refurbishment and Re-Certification
• Lubrication system refurbishment
• New pendant Enclosure
• On machine, low energy, workpiece lighting
• Machine moving part Guard upgrade
• Platform upgrade with Safety and interlocks
• New scratch resistant platform front door
• Moving machine safety bump strips
• Remote diagnostics

 Design efficiency

Initially, the proposed machine was a manual milling head machine and the Fagor 8037 was proposed.   The machine became unavailable and a replacement was sourced.   The replacement machine was more recent with a Autohead.   In line with our  philosophy and programme, the Prove Fagor 8037 was replaced with the 8055MC using the proven design as the base.

The Seymour New Control Pendant. The arm swings from the operator platform over the bed to the back side of the column for ease or set up and inspection. Customer provided perimeter guarding.   integrated into the Seymour Safe E-MGuard system
