"Waste" in Energy Efficiency:

SPEEDIO Blue Technology incorporates various energy-saving features, such as an energy regeneration system, optimized air consumption, and high-efficiency spindle motors.

The CNC-D00 control incorporates tools that automatically reduce consumption; energy-saving mode, automatic shutdown of lights, display, or coolant after a predetermined time, in addition to tools that visualize the consumption of different parts of the equipment, allowing you to monitor which part is consuming the most energy.

In addition to the above, improving pneumatic consumption with the added functions to reduce air waste reduces the required compressor run time.

TIme "Waste":

Features such as the continuous ATC (automatic tool changer), simultaneous axis operation control, and high acceleration/deceleration spindles contribute to faster machining cycle times..

Machining time can be divided into:

• Setup time (configuration)
• Cycle time (machining)
• Stop/maintenance time (downtime)

Set-up Time (Configuration):

The implementation of the new CNC-D00 control interface includes new interfaces and a 15-inch vertical touchscreen. The new interface groups the most relevant functions with icons and colors, increasing ease of use. It also includes several applications that help users work more efficiently on the control without having to leave the machine (calculator, notes, file viewer, etc.). The home screen serves as the starting point for all operations, unifying the data needed for mass production.

Screens can be customized, and the CNC-D00 control has a visual interface for G/M programming, as well as an on-screen QWERTY keyboard and a direct help key.

Cycle time (machining).

The reduction in cycle time is achieved through simultaneous axis movement and tool positioning; this is coupled with rapid axis movement (including the 4th and 5th axes on the M and U lines and the QT table) and the fast acceleration/braking spindle.

Downtime (maintenance).

System recovery instructions can be displayed on the screen, reducing the time spent searching for quick solutions, such as automatic gate adjustment, tapping return, ATC recovery, and saving the tool position to the alarm log.

Resources "Waste":

Preventive maintenance and efficient operation: 

By optimizing machine operations, SPEEDIO BLUE technology contributes to greater labor efficiency and a faster work rate in production plants. BLUE technology includes maintenance functions that help prevent defects and machining errors, promoting resource efficiency and reducing defects.

Load monitoring: Within the CNC-D00 control, the load on each axis and spindle can be monitored in real time, and alarms can be programmed when they exceed preset parameters. Chip jam detection function: A sensor is used to detect chip entry into the taper during tool changes, thus preventing machining defects. Tool Present Check: Missing tools are detected before they are requested. Overload Prediction System: In mass production, axis overload can be predicted based on previous machine behavior. Increased Processing Speed: The new CNC-D00 control processes linear segments four times faster, even with CAD data with small tolerances. Preventive Maintenance Alerts: The control warns when preventive maintenance is required based on machine usage. Constant preventive checks of motor insulation to detect signs of failure. An operational log with 150,000 records allows operational tracking of errors and faults, facilitating their investigation.

High-Precision, High-Speed Machining:

Tool-Point Center Control: The center-point control (in 5-axis machining) adjusts the relative direction of the tool against the workpiece using block-look-ahead of up to 1,000 instructions, ensuring precise machining in multiple axes. An application for setting machining modes and parameters facilitates optimal values and conditions based on the characteristics of the work, as well as tool length adjustment. Applications for preventing cutting defects: A cutting value graph allows viewing of cutting parameters.

Optional features depending on configuration:

- Cyclonic filter for internal tool coolant system / automatic lubrication system.

Installation Space "Waste":

Compact design:

SPEEDIO machines are known for their compact size, which helps optimize the efficient use of space in work areas. Their optimized functional design reduces energy consumption potencially by up to 85% compared to the competition by using less ambient lighting and, consequently, reducing their carbon footprint. Furthermore, the versatility of BROTHER SPEEDIO machines also reduces the number of workstations required for the machining process.

Essentially, SPEEDIO BLUE technology seeks to create a more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective manufacturing environment by minimizing waste and maximizing the throughput of machining operations. SPEEDIO BLUE allows you to reduce overall space, energy, and process consumption compared to other similar machines, and thanks to the SPEEDIO line's high cutting power, even more so compared to competing BT40 machines.

YAMAZEN has models available for cutting trials and machining demonstrations to ensure your process is more efficient working on BROTHER SPEEDIO machines, supported by SPEEDIO BLUE technology.
