The design and development of new upgrades and components is a continuous process at\r\nJUARISTI, as all the machine\u2019s structural elements are developed by us. The last year has been\r\nparticularly busy and we have presented major innovations in many areas. If I had to pick one, I\r\nwould highlight the next-generation universal heads, which offer greater dynamics, enable 5-axis\r\nwork, and are optimised for multifunctional work including turning and grinding. We did all this\r\nwithout forgetting that one of the main distinguishing features of JUARISTI is its robustness, and\r\nthe new generation heads also represent a significant improvement in this field.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
On the other hand, we are making a major effort in the development of different software to\r\nimprove machine precision over time, and to facilitate unattended, fully reliable machining.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
What aspects would you say differentiate JUARISTI machines? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n The main features of JUARISTI machines are precision and sturdiness. Our main objective is for our customers to have high productivity with maximum accuracy. But beyond the machines, the main value of JUARISTI, I believe, lies in the flexibility we provide in listening to the customer, adapting and developing the best solution for their specific needs. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n One of JUARISTI\u2019s distinctive features is the high-tech value of its heads. What are the benefits of the most recent ACD7 and ACD8 developments? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In this new generation, we have tried to bring together the best\r\nof our entire range of heads and concentrate them into two\r\nunique models. Maintaining the ruggedness and cutting capacity\r\nof our universal heads, we have improved the dynamics to\r\nreduce downtime, and have included the option to work on 5 real\r\naxes. In addition, head speeds have been increased to 8,000\r\nmin-1, and in the case of the ACD8 model, we offer the option\r\nof performing demanding turning operations with no negative\r\nimpact on milling operations. On the other hand, we have also\r\nsignificantly improved accuracy thanks to direct measurements\r\non rotating axes.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Rotary tables are part of the company\u2019s core business. What is JUARISTI\u2019s contribution value-wise in this field? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n JUARISTI has a huge amount of experience in the design and manufacture of rotary tables, with extensive know-how in this field. According to our machine philosophy, the rotary table is a fundamental part of achieving high precision and stability in machining, so we place special emphasis on this point. With the application of hydrostatic technology, our tables provide great damping and stability, reducing vibrations, besides getting a longer service life and still maintaining first-day type accuracy. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n A very interesting tilting table model has recently been developed. What can you tell us about this project? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Traditionally, this type of table has been used to machine wind mill hubs with discrete tilting angle positions. However, this new application dallows continuous machining even with the tilting axis. Thanks to its master-slave system with hydrostatic guidance of the tilting axis, it achieves very smooth movements even with loads of up to 100 tonnes, so the surface finishes are excellent. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n What efforts are being made in the field of Industry 4.0? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Industry 4.0 has been applied to our machines for a long time\r\nnow, as sensor technology has been present in many machine\r\nelements. However, in recent years, special emphasis has been\r\nplaced on machine connectivity and predictive maintenance.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In this respect, here at JUARISTI we have opted for our own\r\nsoftware called \u201cMy Juaristi\u201d, which brings together all the\r\ndevelopments we have made in this direction. We have focused\r\non two main objectives: the acquisition of data and its later\r\nanalysis to show the customer how efficient it is in use and how\r\nto increase and improve productivity, as well as the generation\r\nof predictive maintenance plans based on the analysed data to\r\nincrease machine availability.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n What JUARISTI solutions have taken a quantum leap forward in technological innovation to improve machine accuracy or reliability? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In this regard, we have many technologies that have been successfully applied in recent years such as the RPT (RAM Precision Technology) that enables RAM output with excellent positioning and angle accuracy. Apart from these systems, we have recently developed a verification software (QMV Quick Machine Verification) that allows a quick, simple and automatic verification of machine geometry. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n One of JUARISTI\u2019s main strategic milestones in recent years has been the construction of a state-of-the-art production center. How will customers benefit from the Accuracy Cube\u2019s construction? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n First of all, thanks to the Accuracy Cube, we will be able to provide more precise solutions for large volumes of work. Most importantly, we will be able to verify that all of these machines reaching the customer do so in precision conditions that were not 100 % verifiable before. On the other hand, we will increase the reliability of the solutions, as the entire manufacturing\r\nprocess will be 100 % monitored. And finally, we are going to\r\nreduce the machines\u2019 lead-time, because thanks to these new\r\ntechnologies and amenities we will, in many cases, be able to\r\nsimplify designs and processes.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Customers require increasingly versatile solutions that enable them to perform multiple types of machining. What work is JUARISTI undertaking to facilitate multitasking? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In this respect, we have made a clear commitment to develop\r\nsolutions that integrate, besides the milling and boring\r\noperations, turning and grinding in a single machine. In this\r\nregard, we have developed state-of-the-art rotary tables, as well\r\nas specific heads for turning and grinding. And finally, we have\r\ntried to apply JUARISTI\u2019s knowledge of these processes to the\r\nmachine itself.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Another highly valued aspect is the autonomy of the solutions. What steps are being taken to make it easier for machines to operate unattended? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n At JUARISTI, we consider that one of the main challenges of the\r\nfuture is to create machines that work unattended, in a safe and\r\nreliable way and with maximum precision. And making this work\r\nin non-repetitive machining processes, with multiple changes\r\nof heads, tools, pallets, etc. requires a great deal of effort. As a\r\nresult, we have worked hard to achieve a high level of reliability in\r\nthe different machine processes, as well as to optimise the chip\r\nand coolant management (which cause the most unscheduled\r\nstoppages). And finally, we have developed our own Software\r\nthat will enable us to efficiently manage all the elements involved\r\nin production (parts, tools, pallets, part programs, etc.).\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n What is the technical management strategy for the next few years? Which areas will be given more importance? <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n One of the main challenges we want to address is to create machines that work autonomously, reliably and safely. The shortage of qualified machine operators is a recurring problem in most countries. So, it is essential to generate systems that help make the processes as autonomous as possible. The digitisation of these processes will help us along that path, but always using that technology as a means, and never as an end. As a second axis, we have the goal of increasing machine precision for large-volume parts, where these is a growing demand. As such, we will continue to provide the necessary intelligence to the machines to achieve a higher level of precision and, above all, a level of precision maintained over time. <\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eneko Ariznabarreta has been in charge of the technical management at JUARISTI for 8 years now.
