Meeting your requirements
CNC machines for industry-specific applications

 

When you procure a new CNC machine for machining metal products, you naturally look at the operations you want to perform on it. And it goes without saying that you want to process your product as accurately, quickly and as efficiently as possible. Depending on your specifications and requirements, you will select a specific type of CNC machining centre. But there are also situations in which your product requires a CNC machine to be developed from scratch. We start with a clean drawing board to create a CNC machine specific to your product and industry. At Unisign we have considerable experience building dedicated CNC machining centres for the truck industry and forklift manufacturers. We don’t allow ourselves to be limited by the CNC machines we already have as ‘standard’ in our product range. If the machining challenge you face cannot be solved with a machine from our existing range, such as a CNC milling machine with gantry, CNC machine with moving column or multitasking CNC machine, then we will develop a unique new machine to meet your requirements. Together with you we will design what you need, and build it for you.

CNC machine built to your specifications

If you look at the specifications of our various types of CNC machining centres, you will get a good impression of what we can build for you and of the product dimensions our CNC machines can handle. Please note that these are by no means maximum dimensions. For example, where you read that our Uniport 6000-HV can handle a height of almost 2 metres, in practice we can build a machine for products up to 3 metres.

And if we need to modify the construction of one of our CNC machines so your production process runs more efficiently, we will certainly do that. We don’t like to push our clients towards one specific CNC machining centre, we would rather create the ideal configuration. Don’t be tempted into a standard solution if it means you have to compromise: tailor-made solutions based on our standard machines is precisely Unisign’s strength.

CNC machines specially for truck manufacturing

A good example of our client-oriented thinking is our Unitwin 6000 CNC machine. This is a dedicated machine on which our international clients process forged front axles for trucks. We first came up with the idea for this machine in 1996 when a client asked us to help improve their front axle manufacturing process. Our concept caught on.

We are now the market leader in this segment. Of the approximately 3.5 million front axles of all the trucks manufactured worldwide every year, about 2 million are machined on Unisign CNC machines. Previously, the machining time for one front axle was 12 to 15 minutes, this processing time has been reduced to less than 6 minutes with the Unitwin.

In October 2021 we have launched a revolutionary new CNC machine for machining truck rear axles: the UNIAXLE. This is a dedicated CNC machining centre for machining welded and cast rear axles in a single setup. It will improve the accuracy and quality of rear axles. Production processes will be quicker and more cost-effective. The cycle time is 30 minutes/rear axle. Learn more about this unique development! Download our interesting UNIAXLE webinar.

We have established a world leading position in front axle machining. Truck manufacturers and suppliers use our UNITWIN CNC machine to produce more than 2 million front axles every year.

For the complex rear axle machining we also have a dedicated solution: our UNIAXLE. With this new CNC machine you can machine cast iron as well as steel welded rear axles to the greatest precision, in the shortest possible time, all in a single setup.

For everything from bogies to wheels and weld preparation to wheel carrier machining, Unisign has highly versatile machines like the Uniport6000 and Uniport7000. These gantry style machining centres are part of the machine tool program that have been designed to deliver extremely high capacity, dynamics, rapid acceleration and offer a generous working area.

Heavy duty turning, milling and drilling characterises the production of components for energy-producing equipment like (wind) turbines. So you need a CNC machine that can take the load. A mill-turn machining centre like the Unicom6000, Unicom7000 and the Uniport7000-MTC or a multi-functional Uniport6000 and Uniport7000 are the ideal solution for producing these demanding parts.

Pumps and valves for the oil & gas industry can be highly complex parts to produce with seals, gaskets, flanges and requirements like spiral grooves and elliptical conical eccentric turning. The machining centres from Unisign, with their high degree of automation and specially designed software, are a unique solution capable of milling parts that others cannot.

At Unisign we understand that our customers don’t just buy a CNC machine, they buy a process. And price per part is key. So for general applications we offer high torque machines with high material removal rates, including 5-axis and 5-sided machining and a choice of moving table or palletized, depending on the footprint available.
