EFFICIENT TOOL PREPARATION WITH THE NEW SF 1 ILS
Non-stop perfection
The quality of stamping, forming and cutting tools can be improved considerably by finishing in the SF 1 ILS from OTEC. Smoothing, polishing, edge rounding, deburring and removing droplets are typical finishing tasks which produce a dramatic improvement in workpieces. 
Especially when a company grows in size and the number of items to be produced increases, a fast and efficient finishing system becomes more and more important. With the SF 1 ILS, OTEC sets a new standard in automated precision finishing. The machine requires no expertise in robotics and is designed for maximum user-friendliness. It is specially tailored to the requirements of the toolmaking industry and its automated loading system delivers clear cost benefits. The SF 1 ILS features a chain loader with 64 positions in loading sleeves that can vary according to the diameter of the tools. The machine can process different tools ranging between 3 and 18 mm in diameter in a single batch. This is achieved by automatically changing the workpiece and chuck adapter as required. When the finishing process is complete, the tools are returned to their loading sleeves. Tool change time is approx. 14.5 seconds. Depending on the finishing process and the tool geometry, processing times are between 30 and 300 seconds. The SF 1 ILS is equipped with a lifting unit for incoming tools and is suitable for both wet and dry finishing. All these features make the SF1 ILS an extraordinarily effective and flexible machine. Ideal for processing small batch sizes and frequently changing series, it even comes at an attractive price.
