Soraluce to host open house event at Bergara plant

To commemorate its 60th year, machine tool manufacturer Soraluce is holding another Soraluce Summit from 18-20 May at its Bergara plant.

Over three days, the manufacturer will be showing its customised range adapted to each customer, divided into three sections: the very latest machinery, smart technology and digital services, the benefits of which will be made clear with demonstrations and live machining.

Soraluce, since its founding 60 years ago has been exclusively represented in the UK by T.W. Ward CNC Machinery (Ward CNC).

At the open-day event, among other new features, the company will be presenting a new large-format multitasking machine integrating milling processes with turning processes with a high automation capacity, for Austrian firm Krones, a leader in production lines for the food and beverage industry.

The machine features bridge-type moving table architecture, and has two rotary-travelling milling/turning tables, diameter 6,000mm, tilt 7,100mm, with up to 40 Tn parts capacity. It has a range of milling and turning heads, and robotised storage with 500 tools.

On a guided tour, Soraluce will be showcasing its latest progress and milling, boring, multitasking and automation projects, along with new smart damping solutions to boost the removal of chips during machining. Those at the event will be able to study all these technologies first-hand in live demonstrations.

In this regard, the Soraluce Summit will be presenting its active damping system DAS, a smart system which oversees the machining process and chooses the best technological alternative to eliminate vibration, and its active damping facility DWS (Dynamic Workpiece Stabiliser) which eliminates chatter or vibration when flexible parts are being machined, and which won the 2020 Quality Innovation of the Year award.

In addition to its new features in terms of machinery and technological solutions, the firm will also be demonstrating its innovation in industrial digitalisation, all produced at the Soraluce Software Factory, an in-house system developing advanced software solutions, the latest technology and digital services.

Here Soraluce will be showcasing some of the advanced digital services that are helping step up the pace of the digital transformation of businesses operating in the sector, such as the Autocheck system producing an automatic diagnosis of machine status, the FactoryConnect solution for plant digitalisation; the EMaintain tool which automates and digitalises maintenance processes, and the new functions of the Smart HMI interface, boosting the efficiency of manufacturing processes.

To complete the range of new digital services, for the first time the machine tool manufacturer will be showing its integral monitoring platform, called My Soraluce, for better monitoring of current machine status.

A new system which, as Soraluce's head of Services and Solutions Alejandro Martínez explained: "Provides customers with direct access to all the machine's information, enabling them to check its current status at any time from any location, making the process easier, faster and clearer."
