The fast cycling Eagle 450 XP falls into line with the C Dugard of Hove, UK, specification philosophy in providing the customer with a choice in order to exactly meet the ideal operating conditions to maximise machine utilisation and productivity.
In the Eagle 450 XP, for instance, the main spindle can be specified with a high speed 15,000 rev/min unit or alternatively 12,000 and 10,000 rev/min packages and with the choice to select BT 40 taper for heavier duty milling operations or BT 30 for higher speed drilling and tapping.
There is also a choice of control systems and full digital drive packages from Fanuc or Siemens.
The machine can be under Fanuc Oi control with a Fanuc 5.5kW AC spindle motor but can also be specified with the optional Siemens 802D, having a 10.4 inch colour TFT screen and graphic display with Siemens 10kW AC motor drive.
Rigid tapping is standard.

The axis travel in X is 450mm, Y, 350mm and Z is 380mm each of which can be covered at rapid traverse rates of 36m/min and fully programmable feed rates up to 10m/min.
Positioning accuracy is +0.005mm and repeatability + 0.003mm.
For both the BT40 taper spindle with a maximum tool diameter of 100mm and 5kg weight and the BT30 which can accept a 76mm tool diameter and 3kg weight, the carousel style magazine and auto-changer has 12 positions.
As standard, the machine incorporates powerful chip flushing arrangements and a screw-type conveyor to pull swarf to the rear of the machine.
