AUTO LATHES
MOORES OFFER A UNIQUE AND EXCLUSIVE SERVICE
These machines are of the highest quality and use state of the art technology enabling us to make the process semi or full automated. The quality these machines produce has led to fantastic reports from our clients and forced us to expand the business.
Our auto lathes also allow us to keep costs low and remain extremely competitive in a market that is price sensitive. Auto lathes brochure pdf
OVERVIEW
The automated glass lathes manufactured by Moores Equipment are high technology production equipment fully automatically producing a wide range of glass and quartz products (hot forming operations). From tubes or rods, these machines can shape by using any combination of forming, pushing, pulling, blowing, sealing, collapsing or centrifugation operations, providing a very high dimensional accuracy.
Thanks to an optional teaching system, programming of the equipment is quick, simple and user-friendly. For complex applications, a thermo-dimensional camera can be added to control the temperatures of the process and the dimensions of the glass during forming.
Another advantage is the flexibility. As no mechanical setup is required, only a few minutes are required to switch from a production to another one, making these equipment cost efficient, even for small production batches.
SWITCH OVER PROGRAMME
Another impressive characteristic of these equipment is the time required to switch from a production to another one. Indeed, the machine is designed so that no mechanical setup or manual setup is required during a change-over. The tasks are limited to thechange of burner heads, forming tools and possibly the blowing connections. Then, the program isselected in the library. In practice, no more than 10 to 15 minutes is required to change over production, making these equipment flexible and cost-efficient even for small productions.
SOFTWARE
The user interface (HMI) is done through the M.I.C.A. interface (Moores Equipment Controlled Application). This software, specifically developed for the automated lathes, provides you with a very flexible and user-friendly interface, both for programming and running the equipment.If more customized interface is required, dedicated Apps can be connected to M.I.C.A.
