IPS transfer lines for aluminum can provide 50 parts/hour to 300 parts/hour. They are particularly efficient at evacuating chips from the work area. Typically, these machines utilize high speed spindles and diamond tools to maximize production rates and provide long tool life. When appropriate, three-axis machining center modules and spindle head indexers can be placed in the line to provide part feature and volume flexibility. Online, interactive gauging can be included to insure the continued production of quality parts. IPS specializes in machines to provide cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, transmission cases, valve plate cam covers and front covers.
