4. SAFETY DEVICES

Shearing prevention system: realised by means of microswitches and safety circuit; it is activated when the door is opened and/or the grid on the hopper is lifted and it brings the machine to a temporary STOP: EME will appear on the display. Do not use this device to stop the machine during batch freezing cycles, but always use the STOP function instead.

Motor reliability of service: realised by means of temperature relays to protect motors against overloads.

In any case the machine carries out a series of tests during production: Production control system

Carried out by the microprocessor through a current transformer. It controls the agitator motor watt.

Batch freezing safety timer

It operates 35 minutes after the beginning of batch freezing in case the consistency minimum value set up by the manufacturer is not reached. The compressor stops, the agitator runs slowly, the STOP pushbutton is lit up, the production pushbutton and the display blink and an intermittent beep is released. In this case check the presence of troubles in the refrigerant circuit and/or check the proportion of the batch.

Lack of growth in consistency

It operates if the batch stops increasing in consistency due to a wrong proportion of ingredients or due to a non-uniform amalgamation, after the minimum alarm threshold is overcome. The compressor stops, the agitator keeps on running, the PRODUCTION pushbutton blinks and an intermittent beep is released.

Logic unit self-reset in case of lack of power supply

It stops the machine allowing the manual reset of the functions.

Logic unit self-diagnosis (watch-dog)

It controls possible internal troubles and stops the card in case of failure.

C118, C117, C116 specifications

The Taylor C116, C117, and C118 models represent a series of high-performance vertical machining centers designed for precision engineering and heavy-duty manufacturing applications. These machines are part of Taylor’s commitment to providing advanced solutions for industries ranging from aerospace to automotive.

The C116 model is known for its compact design, making it suitable for shop floors with limited space. Equipped with a high-speed spindle that reaches up to 15,000 RPM, the C116 ensures quick material removal and superior surface finishes. Its robust construction utilizes a cast-iron frame, which minimizes vibrations during machining, ensuring consistent precision across long production runs. The machine features a 24-tool automatic carousel, allowing for rapid tool changes and versatility in operations.

Moving to the C117, this model introduces enhanced capabilities with a larger work envelope, accommodating larger parts and heavier workpieces. It is equipped with an advanced Fanuc control system that provides user-friendly programming and real-time monitoring of machining processes. The C117 also offers dual-axis linear motors in the X and Y axes, which significantly increase acceleration and deceleration speeds, enhancing overall productivity. The intelligent thermal compensation system ensures stability and accuracy, effectively managing heat generated during operation.

Lastly, the C118 model takes a step further with its dual spindle configuration, allowing for simultaneous machining of two components. This innovative design boosts productivity, especially in high-volume production environments. The C118 features advanced automation options, including robotic loading systems, which streamline workflow and reduce labor costs. The machine’s rigid tapping capability and high torque at low RPMs make it ideal for tapping operations in tough materials, further expanding its versatility.

Overall, the Taylor C116, C117, and C118 machining centers combine cutting-edge technology with robust design characteristics, catering to a wide array of manufacturing needs. Their features not only improve efficiency and precision but also provide users with the confidence that they can tackle complex machining tasks with reliability. As industries continue to evolve, these models stand as testament to Taylor's dedication to innovation and quality in the machining sector.
