moving to left and the right of the work area.
This axis is directly connected to a high
precision planetary gearbox eliminating pulley and
belt system hence adding higher accuracy and
reliability.
Y-Axis
is mounted on four sets of four rows size (25)
linear bearings and rail system.
Power
and transmission on the Y-Axis is provided by a
powerful 1.5KW digital, brush less AC servo motor
and drive system, with extremely accurate 17 bit
encoder feed back (131000 pulses/Revolution).
Y-Axis
is coupled to a high precision helical grounded
rack and pinion for ultimate accuracy and
reliability.
AXIS
3 (Z) DESCRIPTION, (INCLUDED)
Z
is a vertical axis along the height of the machine
up and down of the work area. This axis is
directly connected to a high precision preloaded
ball screw and ball nut eliminating pulley and
belt system hence adding higher accuracy and
reliability.
Z-Axis
is mounted on four sets of size (25) four rows
linear bearing and rail system.
Power
and transmission on the Z-Axis is provided by a
powerful 900W digital, brush less AC servo motor
and drive system, with extremely accurate 17 bit
encoder feed back (131000 pulses/Revolution).
Z-Axis
is coupled to a high precision ball screw and ball
nut for ultimate accuracy and reliability.
Z-Axis
is fitted with two pneumatic counterbalance
cylinders for high repeatability and positioning
speed.
AXIS
4 (SPINDLE SPEED)
Spindle
speed axis is a virtual axis, commanding proper
speed to the spindle drive. Our machine is
equipped with variable speed spindle, which can
turn from a minimum of 3000 RPM to a maximum speed
of 18000 or 24000 RPM. The spindle speed is configurable
through the programming menu.
SPINDLE
MOTOR
Standard
air cooled, 4 poles ER-32 spindle motor for this
application. Power of the spindle can be from
5.5KW to 7.5KW at 380V. (Included)
Optional
air cooled, 4 poles ISO-30 spindle motor for this
application. Power of the spindle can be from
5.5KW to 7.5KW at 380V.
Optional
liquid cooled, and 4 poles HSK F-63 spindle motor
for this application. The HSK series of spindle
provides the ultimate hold on the tool and that
results to better finish in cuts and longer duty
cycle. The spindle bearings are cooled by a heat
exchange unit, (included) resulting to more
reliability and less downtime due to spindle
failure. Power of the spindle can be from 5.5KW to
7.5KW at 380V.
OPTIONAL
AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGE (ATC)
Stationary
bar type HSK-F63 or ISO-30 ATC with 10 tools
capacity.
Stationary
sliding bar type HSK-F63 or ISO-30 ATC with 10
tools capacity.
Rotary
type ISO-30 or HSK-F63 ATC with 10 tools capacity.
Tool crib is located on the left side of the
x-axis. (HSK tool holders, collets and tooling is
not included)
OPTIONAL
DRILLING UNIT
Independent
drilling units with the following specifications:
7+2
vertical and 3x2 horizontal drilling unit
7+2
vertical and 2x2 horizontal and a saw @ 0 degree
9+6
vertical and 3x2 horizontal
Saw
unit rotating from 0 degree to 180 degrees.
ELECTRICAL
CABINET, (INCLUDED)
All
of our electrical components are CSA and CUL
approved. The electrical systems on our machines
are designed to work in extreme conditions and all
are locally available for simple maintenance and
lower overall cost of ownership.
Our
electrical enclosure is a true Nema 12 dust
proofed cabinet with standard flip over keyboard
and mouse platform.
We
use high flex shielded cables for all connections.
The cables are carried by all enclosed cable
tracks to protect them from chips and external
elements.
The
whole electrical system is approved by Ontario
hydro and carries approval sticker.
CONTROL
SYSTEM, (INCLUDED)
Powerful, PC based CNC controller with
Windows© XP operating system and 3 interpolated,
2 linear positioning axes.
Controller is capable to work on 3 surfaces
of front, back and the top.
DXF
converter generating machine codes automatically.
G_code
import capability.
Controller
is running separately on a real time operating
system while allowing the operator to work in a
familiar Windows© environment.
User
friendly interface allowing the operator to
navigate through menus and options allowing them
to edit or create programs right on the machine
terminal eliminating the need for additional
person for programming.
MDI
menu for manual operations.
Tool database allows for information of up
to 50 tools to be stored and called through the
program. The machine would pick up first 10 tools
available in ATC automatically and asks the
operator to insert manually the rest of 40 tools,
which are not in ATC. With this method although
the number of ATC is only 10 but the tool change
process extends to 50 tools during a programming
cycle which speeds up the operation drastically.
Standard
remote diagnostic allowing us to troubleshoot the
machine from a remote location saving traveling
time.
Automatic
spindle warm-up cycle.
Optional
macro program to allow for specific operations to
be predefined and called up with the push of a
button rather than being written each time in
programming process. (Not included)
Optional
CAD/CAM program. (Not included)
OPTIONAL
HANDHELD PENDANT
The
handheld pendant is equipped with the following
functions:
Jog
function on X, Y and Z axis enables the operator
to jog the machine in forward and reverse mode.
Start
and stop cycle buttons enables the operator to
start or stop a program while he or she is closer
to actual work piece.
Pause
mode stops all motions and resume button continues
existing motions enabling the operator to inspect
validity of operation or a new program.
Federate
override controls the overall speed of the machine
from 0 to maximum traverse speed on all axes.
OPTIONAL
SAFETY BARRIER
Safety
barrier installed at the front of the machine
activated when crossed and pauses all existing
motions and resets by resume button. This option
is an excellent safety feature to protect the
operator from accidental contact with moving axes.
