ADDS 5-AXIS ROTARY TABLE OPTION FOR 1-SERIES HMC
a61-5XR on display at IMTS
MASON, OH--March 2006--The dynamic 1-Series horizontal
machining centers (HMCs) from Makino are now available with a 5-axis rotary
table (5XR) designated option. This 5XR option is ideal for manufacturing
applications that require maximum throughput and reliability.
This 5XR
option enhances the compact 1-Series workhorse line, as well as Makino’s
superior out-of-cut technology. This will help further reduce part cycle
times and built-in reliability that minimizes or even eliminates traditional
maintenance costs.
It can help
any sized operation concentrate machining processes for multi-face jobs,
intricately shaped parts and for machining the cutter body. Low- to high-medium
production shops, medical and aerospace parts suppliers and general contract
machining operations are perfect markets for this 5-axis table.
The Makino
a61-5XR will be on display at the International Machine Tool Show (IMTS) at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois
September 6-13, 2006. Visit Booth # 8301 in Hall A of the South Building
to learn more about this and other technological innovations.
Also plan
to visit Booth # D-4110 in the EDM Pavilion at IMTS to see demonstration on
equipment and processes that meet the demand for micro-dimensions and
ultra-high precision EDMing.
Features
and Benefits
The maximum pallet load for the 5XR table is 330 pounds (150 kg), with a disk
plate diameter of 12.80 inches (325 mm). The diameter and height of the work
zone is 27.60 x 15.75 inches (700 mm x 400 mm). The B-axis travel is 210
degrees (– 60 degrees to + 150 degrees), with the C-axis travel a full 360
degrees.
Like all
1-Series HMCs, the 5XR units come with Makino’s Pro 5 controller and
proprietary, next generation Geometric Intelligence (SGI.4) servo control
software. This helps provide the lowest cycle times achievable while
maintaining superior accuracy and meeting the customer’s quality requirements.
The
standard 5XR system also comes with tool center point control for 5-axis
machining, cutter radius compensation for 5-axis machining, tilted working
plane command, manual feed for 5-axis machining, 3-dimensional coordinate
conversion and rotary table dynamic fixture offset, thus allowing for advanced
application for multi-axis machining performance.
