I currently machine billet Impellers on a Haas VF-3 with a TRT-160 Trunion. The impellers cycle time is 2 hrs and we only work an eight hour shift. I priced a TRT-160-2 That has two "B" axis's they are $35,000. This would net two impellers at night, The machine only has one spindle so there is no saving on per part time. I want to look into automating it with a robot that can change parts instead of purchasing the TRT 160-2, that would net eight more parts at night. I could google robotics however I would like some input if someone here has any experiance with this type of operation,
Thanks.
Thanks.
