High technology and precision MADE IN ITALY The new full CNC portable machine tools WS, TOP 200 and TOP 400, are capable of astonishing even the most expert specialists. hey are the new born in Sir Meccanica and are considered the real jewels of technology; a result of the creativity and ingenuity of a businessman, Rinaldo Siracusa, and of the technicians who have helped him to create them. The new full CNC portable machine tools WS, TOP 200 and TOP 400, are capable of astonishing even the most expert specialists. T To the traditional characteristics of Sir Meccanica’s portable machine tools, the new boring machine tools add the precision that comes from the electronics in order to effect, directly on-site, or wherever necessary, micrometric facing of internal and external surfaces on the extremity of fixed tubular bodies which do not rotate and cannot be handled with conventional machine tools. These items, contained in handy trollies, make the on-site turning and threading processes possible, without the need to disassemble and transport the piece to be repaired to the workshop. Equipped with a state-of-the-art controller with touchscreen technology, the full CNC TOP allows for manual programming directly on the machine, or through PC, with CAD/CAM software. Thanks to the 3D simulations, it is possible to verify in advance the “behavior” of the machine tool and effect the work with the maximum level of precision. Hence, TOP is able to perform all the conventional machining of a fixed lathe but without the limitations and the constraints that a fixed lathe can present. Moreover, the WS Full CNC Series, thanks to the feed and repositioning system, has the capacity to effect internal machining of housings, fillet surfaces, interpolations and threading not visible externally, in positions which are difficult to reach with the conventional machine tools while achieving high levels of feeding along the machine axis. Versatility and reliability The qualities of extreme versatility and high reliability, made possible by the numeric control, have permitted the new Sir Meccanica machine tools to gain a prominent position on the market in a very short time and to be appreciated all over the world, from Russia to Africa, through China, Singapore, Indonesia, up to the United States. They are seen as excellences in the Made in Italy. For example, in Chicago, point of reference in the United States for machine tools, A.C.T. has experimented the efficiency of the TOP 400 directly on the field during the biennial exhibition IMTS. A.C.T. which is specialized in the production and repair of hydraulic turbines, has been assigned the task of rep airing high pressure pipes used 90 PECM Issue 19
