Optimal tool adjustment with two swivel-mounted CNC rotary axis

In order to optimise the positioning of the tool to the workpiece, both rotary axis are integrated as follows: the C-axis in the Z_axis and the A-axis in the fork head assembly.

This solution makes an extremely short tensioning length possible for the tool. In turn this guarantees optimal cutting conditions during the milling process. A further advantage of this design is the best possible avoidance of vibration leading to improved quality in the workpiece and reduced stresses in the machine.

Trouble-free non-stop operation

The liquid-cooled main drive spindles and milling spindle guarantee stability of temperature and performance during non-stop operation.

Linear axis guides

The movements of the axis X, Y and Z are carried out by means of pretensioned roller-bearings on hardened and ground guides. 

Machine automation improves cost-effectiveness and makes multi-machine operations possible

The machine automation includes, among others, the following functions:

• tool change
• changing milling-head 
• laser measurement of the tool
• zero point adjustment of the workpiece
• workpiece measurement 
• video monitoring

Due to automated peripheral functions the machine works on appropriate workpieces without personnel enabling multi-machine operation as the operation personnel only has monitoring tasks. An additional advantage is that time-consuming finishing work can be carried out during the night or at the weekend.

Complete processing of workpieces in one clamping operation

High-performance roughing-work and highly dynamic finishing work allow optimal accuracy. A further advantage is the time saving when the workpieces are completely processed in one clamping operation, is processing from 5 sides as well as wet or dry processing as necessary.

HIGH-SPEED-CUTTING (HSC) machine

Carefully selected milling-head systems, high-speed motor spindles combined with the extremely rigid machine construction make this generation of machines high-tech products in terms of high-speed  machining. The increasing use of light metals and plastics requires new processing parameters which take the requirements of the material into greater consideration. Here the key to success is High-Speed-Cutting, the high-speed milling technology.

Drastically reduced processing times thanks to HSC-Technology

More and more efficient cutting materials can be employed due to the HSC-Technology which leads to drastically reduced processing times. Apart from the cost advantages obtained in this way, at the same time an improved surface quality is achieved and, in most cases additional reworking is not necessary.
