Customised CNC with wizard screens used in VMCs
A customised CNC is believed the most user-friendly, reliable and highly specified CNC on the market, and is available with a range vertical machining centres.
The CFV-1050Si has a 20,000 rev/min spindle as standard and is well suited to high speed machining applications in the mould and die and aerospace sectors.
Available with a state-of-the-art Siemens, Fanuc or Heidenhain CNC control system, the CFV-1050Si has a rapid feedrates of 36m/min over the axis travels of X, Y and Z: 1050 x 540 x 560mm respectively.
Complimenting the CFV will be the VMC4020FX vertical machining centre with the option of a Fanuc 0i or Fanuc 18i digital control for simultaneous 4-axis machining.

VMCs can be tailored for specific purposes
New cast iron structure features a range of vertical machining centres, available in four model designations and three performance packages, to tailor machines to different applications.
Five-axis VMCs feature high precision tilt head
A range of 5-axis fixed table VMCs has a high precision spindle head that features up to +/-95 deg tilt in the A-axis and full 360 deg contouring in the C-axis - ideal for machining complex parts.
VMC offers full 5-axis/5-sides machining
Vertical machining centre with a 5-axis rotary table comfortably machines workpieces up to 400mm in diameter and 300mm high, and has up to 150 deg tilt capability.
The VMC4020FX received its world premiere at the Westec exhibition, USA, in March 2007.
The machines incorporate beta i drive motors for high torque and acceleration performance and Steinmeyer ETA ball screws that reduce heat friction by up to 70% compared to competitors' machines, said Cincinnati.
* Positional accuracy - the FX range has a positional accuracy of +/-0.005mm and axis repeatability of +/-0.0025mm as standard.
For customers demanding consistently accurate performance, Heidenhain glass scales are available.
To further enhance performance, the FX range is available with the Renishaw TS-27R tool setter probe and OMP40 probe systems.
For rigorous applications the 16HP 10,000 rev/min spindle enables the user to easily carry out all machining tasks.
To guarantee rigidity and high quality surface finishes when machining difficult materials, the high torque spindle combined with the great damping and stiffness of the cast iron boxway make the FX range the ideal economical system, said Cincinnati.
* Optimum productivity - to enable the customer to reach optimum productivity levels, the FX range is also available with coolant through spindle (250 lb/in2) or auto aim servo coolant, chip conveyor system and rotary products and accessories.
