Robohelix RX250 CNC flight forming machine — CNC lathes

RoboHelix machines can form helical flights from standard circular or patterned blanks.

RoboHelix machines require high precision synchronous motion control. User-generated data is downloaded into the device from a cloud-based software, HelixNinja. The information is then further processed to generate coordinates in the 3D plane that emulates the process of creating a flight from a blank. The motors synchronously follow these coordinates to produce the flight.

With the electronic cam plate function in TwinCAT NC Camming (TF5050), relative synchronous motion is possible anywhere anytime. Sizes and tolerances are no longer a concern, once the motors and drives are calibrated. The second-generation RX250 from RoboHelix' line of machines has a linear force requirement of 25,000 kg.

The machine is designed to allow the operator to insert the blank and extract the flight from either the left-hand side or right-hand side of the machine. It is more accessible for the operator to switch sides of the machine depending on the required flight rotational direction, be it a clockwise or anticlockwise rotation.

The operator interface for the RoboHelix machines is based on TwinCAT HMI. The CX5140 Embedded PC also additionally hosts the TwinCAT HMI Server and the CP3916 is connected to it, with the browser running in kiosk mode.
