Fryer Machine Systems is now offering manual handwheels on all its vertical machining centers. Handwheels enable full manual operation so that anyone in the shop can use the machine, regardless of CNC experience.
Manual operations and semi-automatic operations can even be mixed to speed through one-piece production. Manual handles feature full digital readout (DRO) of position and feature electronic stops and a chamfer mode. A joy stick also enables manual feed control.
The Fryer-Siemens CNC features “Do One” cycles, which enable single-cycle operation with no programming necessary. Users can automatically pocket, contour, rough, finish, drill and tap, one step at a time.
Shopfloor programming in conversational mode is available for single-piece runs and G-code programming is available for high production.
Built in the U.S., Fryer machines are designed for high-performance cutting, accuracy, reliability and ease of use. The company says they are well suited for fabrication, moldmaking, toolroom, repair and production facilities.
