How can CNC technology help engine builders reduce setup time and repeat proven machining processes? Go inside COMEC’s Italian factory and see demonstrations of automated cylinder boring, engine block surfacing and laser cylinder-head scanning.
In Episode 641 of EPARTRADE’s Race Industry Now, “The Machines That Make The Machines,” COMEC shows how its equipment brings programmable machining and practical automation to engine rebuilding and performance machine shops.
Watch to explore:
• ACF 200 CNC boring and milling machine: automatic bore-center location and bore-to-bore operation
• Engine block blueprinting and positioning for damaged-bore repairs
• Independently programmed roughing and finishing passes
• RP1000 CNC resurfacing with laser scanning to assess surface variation before cutting
• Saved machining programs for recurring cylinder-head applications
• Line boring for overhead-cam cylinder heads, main-bearing bores and cam tunnels
• Quick tooling changes and V8 block fixture rotation
• Robot-loaded manufacturing, in-process probing and machine testing
• Cloud-based machine data collection for tracking operating hours and job times
Featuring:
Enrico Carniel — CEO, Comec Italy
Ben Boor — US Sales Manager, Comec US
Anthony Usher — President, MEC CNC
Hosted by Brad Gillie from SiriusXM, Ch. 90, Late Shift.
