V6SR1A FlexCam

The Ventura V6 FlexCam is the fastest solution for the economical and precise production of medium and large series of parts with a diameter of up to 6.35 mm, from coil stock.

VENTURA V6SR1A, with 4-spindle turret for the execution of more complicated parts needing boring, tapping or threading, counter-drilling or milling.

The 4-station turret includes, in its usual version :

• 1 counter-collet spindle
• 2 rotating counter-drilling spindles
• 1 tapping or threading spindle

On request, other combinations can be delivered, in some cases resulting in significantly-increased production :

• 2 counter-collet spindles
• 2 tapping or threading spindles

The station change is carried out in 1/4" by a Geneva drive. Locking is carried out via a pilot punch with an axis parallel to that of the spindles, but placed on a larger radius. This technique guarantees positioning accuracy.

The drilling spindles’ rotation speed may be changed via programming on the FlexCam touch screen.

The tapping spindle (threading) is driven by an auxiliary motor with direction reversal and electric braking. Interchangeable pulleys allow for the choice of appropriate speed. The spindle feed and retraction are servo-controlled – at a ratio of 3:1 – by an interchangeable master screw rotating three times faster than what is to be produced. This feature ensures precision, high-quality threading.

The Ventura FlexCam system enables individual optimization of operational parameters. The possibility of programming the cam shaft speed per segment increases the performance of the cam machines. E.g. it is possible to slow the feed during sectioning and to increase it while turning. Thanks to this technology, overall cycle time is no longer determined by the slowest process. In addition, spindle and straightener speeds can be adjusted throughout the entire program (no more changing pulleys; plus significant improvement in quality of the parts produced, both as to tolerances and surface finish).
