Machine tool update for vehicle part plant
A 1.3 metre-between-centres lathe with special damping equipment and a vertical machining centre with bespoke component load/unload facility has been supplied to Albion Automotive
The manufacturer's extensive range of moving-column and bridge-type machining centres are available in the UK through Geo Kingsbury MHP, Gloucester.
Ideal for mould/die, aerospace and medical applications, the compact machine has a large working envelope for a 5-axis model - 660 mm x 400 mm x 510 mm.
The top spindle speed option of 24,000 rpm, delivered by a 7.5 kW motor, allows very fine surface finishes to be achieved.
Of high speed also are the linear axis rapid traverses of 36 m/min Installed weight is seven tonnes, indicating the strength and rigidity of build.
Linear accuracy and repeatability figures are quoted as +/- 5 microns and +/- 4 microns respectively.
A massive A-axis trunnion supports the rotary C-axis work table to provide angular positioning.
The A-axis offers + 120 degrees/ - 55 degrees of tilt at 20 rpm while the rotary C-axis may be positioned through 360 degrees at 60 rpm.
Spindle taper is ISO 40 (optionally ISO 50 or HSK-63).
Tools up to 225 mm long and of 6 kg maximum weight may be accommodated in the 20-station, random-access magazine.
Control is provided by either Fanuc 18iM or Heidenhain 426D coupled to digital axis and spindle drives.
