What is a Hydromat Machine?
The Hydromat is a versatile rotary transfer machine designed for high-precision, high-volume production. It features multiple workstations arranged in a circular pattern, each capable of performing a different machining operation simultaneously. The Legacy series is known for its modular design, allowing for easy customization and reconfiguration to meet specific production needs. These machines are used in various industries, including automotive, medical, and aerospace, for the efficient manufacturing of complex parts with tight tolerances. The Hydromat combines flexibility, speed, and precision, making it ideal for demanding manufacturing environments.
Hydromat: Precision | Versatility | Efficiency
The Hydromat Legacy excels in producing parts with extremely tight tolerances, often within microns, ensuring consistent quality across large production runs. Its rigid construction and precise control systems reduce variability, making it ideal for industries that require high precision, such as medical devices and automotive components.
The Legacy platform is highly modular, allowing manufacturers to tailor the machine to their specific production needs. It can integrate a wide range of machining processes, including turning, milling, drilling, boring, tapping, and broaching, within a single operation. This versatility enables the production of complex parts in one continuous process, reducing the need for multiple setups and machines as well as inverting unit repositions parts for complete end-to-end machining.
Designed for high-speed production, the Hydromat Legacy significantly reduces cycle times by performing multiple operations simultaneously. The rotary transfer system moves parts from one workstation to another seamlessly, ensuring that each part is machined quickly and accurately. This results in higher output rates compared to traditional machining methods.
The machine's design allows for quick changeovers, making it suitable for both long production runs and shorter, more varied batches. This flexibility is valuable in industries where product designs frequently change or where different parts are produced on the same machine.
While the initial investment in a Hydromat Legacy machine can be significant, its ability to produce high volumes of complex parts with minimal downtime, extremely short remnants, and thin cutoff provide greater savings at a lower cost per part over time. The machine’s durability and low maintenance requirements contribute to its long-term cost-effectiveness. Designed with energy efficiency in mind, often incorporating features that reduce power consumption and waste generation. This focus on sustainability makes it an attractive option for companies looking to reduce their environmental footprint.
Overall, the Hydromat Legacy machine is a highly capable and adaptable solution for manufacturers looking to optimize their production processes, enhance product quality, and increase overall efficiency in high-volume machining operations.
