Machine Tool & Precision Machining

Industrial operations are increasingly requiring longer and faster machines, which places greater demands on cable management systems. Dynatect is a market leader in cable carriers, offering both plastic and metal solutions. It also operates the longest cable carrier test facility in North America and introduced the industry’s first hybrid carrier that combines the advantages of metal and plastic for long-travel applications.

CNC routers have fast-moving components that require cable-management and surfaces that require protection from process-generated debris and dust. Dynatect’s cable carrier and protective bellows product adds longevity, protection, and operator safety. Dynatect’s Nylatube KLE series is a medium-sized plastic carrier that’s excellent for machine tool, heavy-duty and long travel applications. For covering linear rails and ways, Dynatect’s heat-sealed bellows are an idea choice to keep away light abrasives and particles from where they should not be. Dynatect is a trusted supplier of equipment protection and motion control to thousands of OEMs and end users.

Work cells and machining centers often require specialized doors that allow intermittent access but remain closed during dangerous operations. Dynatect makes a wide variety of machine tool doors including slatted metal, continuous metal, fabric, and combinations. This includes mixing technology to secure high speed safety doors, and laser protection doors, and 3D coverage of machine roof covers and fabric roll up doors.

Large machine tools such as planer mills often are installed partially below floor level, resulting in potentially hazardous pits. Often, workers must remove pit grates or slats to service the machine. Dynatect’s metal roll-up walk-on covers offer an alternative. Typically made of reinforced stainless steel, these covers allow partial pit access while preventing falls at other times or into other pit areas. Dynatect also offers motorized versions.

Large CNC machining centers require special effort to minimize the impact of dust and sound on surrounding work areas while still allowing access for loading and unloading large workpieces and tooling. Dynatect’s Machine retractable roof covers were developed to contain debris and airborne contamination. These covers are available with a standard fold or inverted fold elimination interference or obstructions in the machining center’s travel. They can travel up to 60 meters/minute and are capable of over 1G acceleration. The roof cover can also be combined with a vertical door to enclose a work cell that requires overhead crane access.

Owners of machining centers with manually operated doors are retrofitting their doors with automation to reduce tact time and reduce operator repetitive stress. Dynatect’s Servax brand automatic door actuators, reverse automatically when objects are detected in their path, are available for retrofitting to existing automatic machining centers with single or double doors, and are rated for all relevant safety standards. Sometimes these kits are also added when robot tending is added to a machining center.

Precision ground ball screws are the prime mover in many machine tool applications. When paired with the correct ballnut they feature high accuracy, high repeatability, and low backlash. Dynatect’s LSI precision ground ball screws provide a lead accuracy of +/-0.0005″, diameters up to 6”, and lengths up to 67 feet. Dynatect also has three different style of ball return design including button, end cap, and tube – each extensively tested. Dynatect offers engineering, reverse engineering, repair, and new ball screws.
