This new machine has been added to the well-established range of Wickman 4, 6 and 8 spindle Bar and Chucking Automatics as a result of market surveys and in response to demands from existing and potential users.
The machine has a modern clean appearance, follows the general design of the existing Wickman range and is based on the 1″ 6 spindle. It offers a combination of the simplicity and robustness of all machines having a central main tool block, with the possibility where required of selecting from a wide range of standard and auxiliary end-working slides and other standard and special attachments.
In comparison with the Wickman 1″ 6 spindle machine the extra working stations of the 1″ 8 offer the opportunity of further sub-dividing the work to be done, resulting in shorter working times with the advantage of simplifying tooling in each station, thus making setting easier. With 8 working stations available there is a greater possibility of completing the work piece without undue complication, eliminating work handling for second operations and significantly reducing production times.
