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:- Tool changes of 2.5 seconds
- Tool capacity of 24 tools
- Very large work table for 4th axis applications
Innovative design with versatile models
A : All linear guides for 3 axes , rapid feedrates of X/Y/Z - 24/24/20 m/min
B : Box slideways for 3 axes, rapid feedrates of X/Y/Z - 20/20/18 m/min
C : Combined design with box slideway column, rapid feedrates of X/Y/Z - 24/24/18 m/min
- Versatile heavy duty spindle
- The spindle is supported with heavy duty roller bearings with large contact areas that easily handles large axial and radial loads, while computer modeling helps determine bearing locations for maximum spindle stiffness.
- 8000 or 6000 rpm modularized spindle meets different machining demands.
- Optional 2-apeed gearbox coupled with powerful spindle motor offers unrivaled metal removal rates. Oil cooling to the spindle and gearbox maintain low bearing temperature for extended spindle life.
- Optional spindle oil cooler can be easily installed to offer constantly circulating cooling oil around the spindle cartridge.
- Versatile slide ways for optimal dynamic stiffness
- The box slideways (Models B, C) are cast into the machine so no distortion occurs due to thermal differences between the slide-ways and machine casting! This maintains alignment of the ways throughout the machine life.
- The plain bearings with large contact areas increases the dynamic stiffness and damping properties so the machine can handle high cutting feeds and heavier cuts.
- Forced lubrication and bonded Turcite-B further improves performance by eliminating stick slip characteristics normally inherent in plain bearings.
- Ball bar testing is used to verify machine accuracy in circular interpolation.
- Efficient tool changer
- Twin arm type ATC performs better overall continuous tool changes compared with disc type tool changer, while at the same time offering faster tool change-merely 2.5 seconds with BT-40 tooling.
- Victor's PLC design allows tools to be exchanged with oversized tools in a single time-no need to waste time with 2 separate tool changes.
- Optional BT-50 tooling with GEARBOX and 24tool magazine enhances the machining power for heavy cutting (Model B.)
- Coolant flush onto bottom guarding
- Thigh pressure coolant flushing away the swarf from the bottom guarding assures optimal chip disposal efficiency during machining.
- "
" type telescopic cover to avoid the swarf accumulation. (for Models A,C) - Strong machine structure
- Stiffness enhanced column with big triangle bottom offers the maximum cutting stability whatever this machine is used with rapid feed (Model A) or with heavy cutting (Model B).
- Machine bed and saddle feature triangular cast structure to evenly distribute the machine loading, while cross diagonal ribbing in the column minimizes distortion and twisting during operation.
- All major structural components are made from Meehanite cast iron to ensure consistent homogenous casting.
- Front mounted Y axis servo motor
- Superior structure stiffness with the optimal rail spacing 700 mm supports the long table at the travel and of X axis movement.
- YHREE supporting blocks in each X-axis guide and 2 blocks in each Y-axis guide guarantees the accuracy requirement.
- The Y axis servo motor is front mounted to reduce the overall length of the ballscrew thus reducing the thermal displacement and increasing structure rigidity.
- Minimizing the effects of thermal growth
- Symmetrical design and construction means heat generation is limited to minimize the effects of thermal growth on machine accuracies.
- Double-anchored ballscrews are pretensioned during assembly to absorb heat with minimal thermal growth.
- Effective chip evacuation from the machining area improves heat dissipation from the working area, while spindle oil cooling prevents excessive spindle growth.
