Koma Precision Expands Offerings with D'Andrea's U-Axis Heads

Koma Precision, a renowned provider of machine tool accessories, recently announced a major distribution agreement with D'Andrea, a leader in U-axis head manufacturing. This partnership grants Koma Precision exclusive rights to disseminate D'Andrea's innovative programmable U-axis heads across the United States and Mexico. These advanced tools promise to enhance manufacturers' capabilities in precision turning and boring operations across both vertical and horizontal machining centers.

Revolutionizing Machining with U-Axis Heads

The D'Andrea U-axis heads introduce a revolutionary rotary cut axis that allows for turning procedures without the need for dedicated lathes. In traditional setups, a lathe spins the workpiece while a cutting tool maneuvers along a profile. However, the U-axis head employs a programmable tool slider combined with the machine spindle's rotation to seamlessly cut a stationary workpiece. This innovation simplifies the machining process by diminishing the need for extra setups or specialized turning centers, leading to enhanced productivity and decreased costs.

Koma Precision features two outstanding models tailored for diverse machining requirements:

1. TA-Center
- Designed for workpieces up to 400mm.
- Introduces a programmable U-axis to vertical and horizontal machining centers (VMCs and HMCs).
- Fully compatible with automatic tool changers and widely used to enhance the machining capabilities of standard VMCs and HMCs.

2. U-Tronic
- Tailored for larger workpieces ranging from 400mm to 4 meters.
- Adds a programmable U-axis to VMCs and HMCs, featuring a flange-mounted design for superior stability.
- Particularly advantageous within sectors such as aerospace, oil & gas, automotive, and heavy industry.

Both models necessitate an active U-axis function within the machine controller, a feature that Koma Precision can assist with, ensuring smooth integration into existing systems.

Insights from Koma Precision Leaders

Dave Meo, President of Koma Precision, expressed his enthusiasm about this new partnership, highlighting, "The sheer performance and reliability of these U-axis heads are remarkable. We are excited to offer the market an innovative way to maximize the use of their existing vertical and horizontal machining centers."
