- Optical orientation and vision sensors
- Turn-key single-source cell engineering
WEMCO Pallet Automation & Flexible Manufacturing Systems
WEMCO pallet automation systems integrate Nidec OKK machine tools and multi-vendor units into flexible lines using FASTEMS multi-level pallet storage. Standardized pallets and zero-point clamping minimize job setup transitions. We supply machine pallets, zero-point chucks, valves, and gear reducers.
- FASTEMS flexible pallet storage systems
- Zero-point pallet clamping mechanisms
- Multi-vendor machine cell networking
- Machining pallets, couplers and valves
WEMCO CNC Machine Overhaul, Rebuilding & Retrofit
WEMCO machine tool overhaul restores original kinematic geometry and mechanical precision for demanding manufacturing operations. Services include guideway re-scraping, spindle rebuilding, ball screw renewal, and CNC control retrofitting. We supply spindle bearings, linear rails, and cable chains.
- Machine kinematic geometry restoration
- Motorized spindle rebuild and testing
- Precision ball screw and rail renewal
- CNC control upgrade and electrical re-fit
Kinematic design and gantry loading on WEMCO turning centers
WEMCO turning centers based on twin-spindle Muratec and Takamatsu platforms perform continuous two-sided machining in a single setup. CNC gantry loaders automatically transfer parts between opposing chucks with stop datum verification.
Rigid machine bed architecture featuring thermo-symmetric geometry maintains micron-level tolerances when turning hardened tool steels and high-temperature alloys.
Dynamic rigidity and heavy-duty milling on Nidec OKK centers
Horizontal machining centers from WEMCO and Nidec OKK HM and VM series handle heavy-duty milling of dense alloys, forgings, and titanium workpieces. Preloaded linear roller guideways and hybrid ceramic spindle bearings absorb substantial radial cutting forces while preserving dynamic rigidity.
Real-time thermal sensors continuously compensate for spindle and ball screw expansion during extended machining runs.
Micron-level accuracy on WEMCO Tsugami Swiss-type lathes
WEMCO Tsugami Swiss-type automatic turning centers employ sliding headstock kinematics with synchronized rotary guide bushings. Cutting takes place adjacent to the guide bushing support, preventing deflection on slender shafts and miniature medical components.
An independent sub-spindle and driven tooling stations enable rear-end drilling, slotting, and thread rolling concurrently.
Robotic cell integration and adaptive workpiece gripping
WEMCO robotic automation cells utilize articulated six-axis industrial arms with payload ratings from 10 to 70 kg. Robots feature dual-position pneumatic grippers with workpiece presence sensors and clamping force monitoring.
Integrated optical machine vision detects workpiece orientation on infeed conveyors, compensating for tray variations without costly mechanical fixtures.
Multi-machine networking and FASTEMS flexible pallet lines
WEMCO pallet automation systems link Nidec OKK milling centers and auxiliary stations into flexible manufacturing cells using FASTEMS multi-level storage. Central production software schedules machine loading, monitors tool wear, and directs the stacker crane.
Standardized pallets with zero-point hydraulic clamping mechanisms minimize non-productive setup changes.
Engineering parts identification and global support via nameplate
To order replacement spindle cartridges, turret disks, ball screws, and servo drives, clients provide a photo of the WEMCO machine nameplate showing the serial number and year.
