Customer Testimonial - Coffin Turbo Pump: Soraluce TAM25

Coffin Turbo Pump has achieved a 35% to 40% reduction in machining time with the recent addition of a Soraluce TA-M 25 multitasking machining center, according to President and CEO Jim Kinneary. This Soraluce, the largest investment made in over 20 years, is a game changer for the company. With a rich history in manufacturing highly engineered boiler feed pumps for industries like nuclear, power generation, offshore oil and gas, and marine, Coffin Turbo Pump has been innovating since 1925 when J.F. Coffin designed a boiler feed pump for steam locomotives, eventually expanding into the marine industry.

Machine Capabilities:
The Soraluce TA-M 25 is a versatile multitasking machine with a 1.2 m (47.24") integrated mill/turn table driven by a 65 kW motor, providing 3150 Nm torque and capable of a maximum turning speed of 400 RPM. The table provides full contouring capability and 0.001° indexing. The main spindle is powered by an inline motor in the ram, delivering direct drive power to the head and spindle.

Enhanced Features:
The machine includes the Soraluce H220T automatic indexing universal multitasking head, which provides 0.001° indexing in the vertical and diagonal joints. The spindle has a maximum speed of 5,000 RPM and ISO 50 BIG PLUS taper. Additional advanced technologies include Dynamic Active Stabilizer (DAS+), Dynamic Head Calibration, Adaptive Control, Chip Breaker, and Virtual C-Axis.

Production Improvements:
Complex pump housings that previously required up to 10 setups on multiple machines can now be done in as little as two setups on the Soraluce. Operations performed include milling, turning, broaching, and even grinding. The company now machines its entire range of pump housings and turbine wheels with high precision in just two setups.

Benefits:
The precision of the turbine bucket groove has improved significantly, reducing assembly time and variation. The Soraluce TA-M 25 handles materials with a Brinell hardness of about 206 and achieves tolerances within a thousandth of an inch. The DAS+ system reduces chatter and increases tool life, especially during interrupted cuts.

New Product Line:
The reduced setup times and increased throughput offered by the Soraluce are critical to the success of Coffin Turbo Pump's new DSR line of pumps. This line faces increased competition, and the efficiency gains are essential for maintaining competitiveness.

Conclusion:
Coffin Turbo Pump's history in manufacturing highly engineered boiler feed pumps continues with the addition of the Soraluce TA-M 25. This new machinery investment not only enhances production capabilities but also ensures the company remains competitive in a demanding market.
