Machining centers that mix high production demands with heavy cutting conditions
These machines have been fortified with heavy duty, hardened and ground boxways into their Meehanite cast columns, which ensure that the all the high radial and axial cutting forces that arise during heavy cutting are easily absorbed The headstock / boxway surfaces have been bonded with the low friction composite Turcite B that prevents any stick-slip movements. These machines use high accuracy linear guides in the X and Y axis that help produce high positional accuracies and very high raped feed rates.
Standard features:- Rapid feedrates of X/Y/Z - 24/24/18 m/min
- Tool changes of 2.5 seconds
- Tool capacity of 24 tools
- Very large work table for 4th axis applications
- 6000 rpm spindle with heavy duty roller bearings
- Spindle oil cooler
- Z axis box slideway.
- Coolant flush onto bottom guarding
- 24 tool magazine
- Twin arm type ATC with 24 tool magazine guarantees cutting flexiability for most applications.
- Optional 32 tool magazine (chain type)or BT-50 24 tool magazine with gearbox are both available.
- Maximum spindle heavy duty spindle
- A cartridge type spindle is used offering greater flexibility with a range of spindle configuration. Unlike our competitors, maximum support is offered around the spindle cartridge with a headstock casting that extends down as far as the spindle nose so that the bearing load areas are supported by the headstock as well as the cartridge.
- This heavy casting ensures any residual vibration is absorbed by the headstock rather than tooling only.
- Air curtain is included as standard to prevent the swarf getting into the spindle.
- Automatic forced lubrication
- Lubricating oil is continuously supplied to all moving ways prolonging service life of the machine. Furthermore a drip supply of oil is provided to the ballscrews for both lubrication and heat dissipation.
- The oil supply is continually monitored by the control system so that any drop in pressure or leak is automatically detected and an alarm given.
- A lip around the machine bed collects the excess oil so that it can be re-circulated.
- Spindle oil cooler (standard)
- Triangular ribbed bed casting for improved support to guideways.
- Cross-diagonal ribbing in column to prevent flexing during machine operation.
- Long Y axis travel with front mounted servo motor
High pressure coolant flushing away the swarf from the bottom guarding to assure optimal chip disposal efficiency during machining.
While the spindle structure is built for maximum rigidity , it is also necessary to ensure maximum reliability and long bearing life. Cooling oil constantly circulates around the spindle cartridge to maintain the low temperature through the spindle rotation.
