United Precision Services will serve as exclusive distributor for Romi’s line of heavy-duty horizontal and vertical CNC lathes across the U.S. and Canada.

Romi Machine Tools USA has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with United Precision Services (UPS), which is based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Under terms of the agreement, UPS will serve as the exclusive distributor for Romi’s line of heavy-duty horizontal and vertical CNC lathes across the U.S. and Canada.

“We’re excited about the opportunities this relationship means to both parties,” says Rafael Boldorini, Romi USA general manager. “UPS knows the market for our line of C series heavy-duty horizontal lathes and VT series heavy-duty vertical lathes as well as anyone in the country, and their sales network and service engineers are the best in the business. Through its parent company, Magna Machine, it has purchased C Series heavy-duty lathes from us, so they know the equipment well.”

It’s time to reconnect with the precision machining industry at the Precision Machining Technology Show (PMTS) 2021 set for August 10-12, 2021, in Cleveland, Ohio, at the Huntington Convention Center. This is the perfect opportunity to consider investing in updates for your company’s technology, automation and software to make your business more efficient and productive.

Production Machining wants to help kick off your research with a series of PMTS Product Previews. In this group, we’re taking a look at CNC turning centers and Swiss-Types, including twin-turret lathe models equipped with double Y-axis turrets; a Swiss-type lathe designed for accurate, versatile machining of complex, large-diameter components from challenging materials; a CNC Swiss machine series with a seven-axis, 27-tool station design with 11 of those able to offer cartridge-style live tooling; and more.

Romi GL250 Turning Center Features Thermal Stability

The Romi GL250 turning center from WSM Technology is designed to operate in medium to high production environments. It features high power and torque, as well as a robust structure that is well suited for machining at full power even during severe machining operations. The turning center is also said to offer thermal and geometric stability to maintain consistent accuracy, performance and productivity.

Romi USA, Erlanger, Ky., has named United Precision Services (UPS), Cincinnati, as its exclusive distributor of heavy-duty horizontal and vertical CNC lathes across the U.S. and Canada.

“We sell through 40 distribution partners, so we expect to show our customers why Romi should be their first choice,” said Danie Jacobs, president, UPS.

UPS has a working showroom that offers full turnkey machining services, and through its parent company, Magna Machine Company, performs contract machining services.

“UPS is much more than a distributor partner. They’re also a customer who uses our machines, as well as many other brands of machine tools. They know which machines perform well because they use them on a daily basis,” said Rafael Boldorini, general manager, Romi USA.

Romi has introduced a complete line of hybrid manufacturing machine tools that combine traditional machining operations with 3D metallic additive manufacturing (AM). Romi’s New Generation D Series vertical machining centers (VMCs) are the basis for this family of hybrids and include the D 800, the D 1000 and the D 1250.

The three models have a robust and heavy casting, roller guides on all axes, BIG PLUS direct-drive spindle and a maximum machining volume of 31″ x 24″ x 25″, 40″ x 24″ x 25″ and 50″ x 24″ x 25″, respectively. Also available as a hybrid is the Romi DCM 620-5X 5-axis VMC.

DCM 620-5X Hybrid five-axis machine has swappable additive heads.

DCM 620-5X HybridThis five-axis hybrid vertical machining center from Romi USA combines additive and subtractive metal machining capabilities. It can be used for mold making, mold modification and repair tasks. For example, edges of a mold that will see high wear can be modified by machining down the meeting edges, building up a layer of stronger metal via laser deposition, then finishing the new edge with subtractive machining.

What’s new? Swappable additive heads. A series of heads fits in the automatic tool changer and can be swapped to offer different sizes of laser deposition patterns.

Benefits Time and cost savings. Additive manufacturing can be used more economically to make or modify some parts — for example, where adding material to a workpiece and machining down to a final finish is faster than starting with a larger workpiece and using a long subtractive process to make a finished part. Expensive materials, such as Inconel and stainless steel, can be added in the exact amount required without the waste caused by subtractive machining.

Each model in the D-Series is equipped with thermal compensation monitored with sensors to improve precision. Each model is also equipped with a FANUC 0i-MF i-HMI CNC with 15″ touchscreen, and a high-speed and high-quality package that enables better performance during machining. According to the company, the D Series VMCs offer users higher productivity, robustness and precision.

Romi’s line of hybrid manufacturing machining centers combine traditional machining operations with 3D metal additive manufacturing (AM). Its Generation D Series vertical machining centers (VMCs) are the basis for this line of hybrids and include the D 800, the D 1000 and the D 1250.

Also available as a hybrid is the Romi DCM 620-5X 5-axis VMC.

The hybrid manufacturing machining centers are designed to seamlessly switch between subtractive and AM with the switch as simple as making a tool change, the company says. The additive head is brought into position via an automatic tool changer, and the laser deposition/additive process on the workpiece can begin. Material can then be added to the piece in the exact profile, amount and desired location. It is well suited for part repair, adding features or intricate work where subtractive manufacturing would take more time and produce more waste material.

Romi teamed with Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies to create the D Series Hybrids. Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies makes over 10 ambit Flex processing heads for the hybrid D series machines. This enables operational flexibility for a variety of applications, including machining with AM (metal, polymer or composites) and inspection (surface and subsurface).

Each model in the D-Series is equipped with thermal compensation monitored with sensors to improve precision. Each model is also equipped with a FANUC 0i-MF i-HMI CNC with 15″ touchscreen, and a high-speed and high-quality package that enables better performance during machining.
