Wide range of CNC machines will suit all tastes
High speed lathes, as well as vertical and horizontal machining centres, to suit all tastes, will be exhibited at Mach 2002 by C Dugard.
Carried on a heavily ribbed Mehanite casting this very compact machine has a very small footprint of just 2.4m by 1.5m making it very economical on floor area requirements but providing a large machining capacity with axis travels of 450mm by 350mm by 380mm.
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 8,000, 10,000 and 12,000 rev/min packages and with the choice to select BT or CT 40 tapers 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.
When Fanuc is specified, the Oi control with a Fanuc 5.5kW AC spindle motor is fitted and for Siemens, the 802D, with 10.4in colour TFT screen and graphic display and Siemens 8.5kW AC motor drive.
Both motors are direct mounted to reduce noise and vibration.
Rigid tapping is standard.
The Eagle 450-XP has a table 700mm by 320mm able to accept loads of 150kg.
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.
Positioning accuracy is +0.005mm and repeatability +0.003mm.
For both the BT/CT40 taper spindle with a maximum tool diameter of 100mm and 5kg weight and the BT30, which can accept a 76mm tool diameter up to 3kg weight, the carousel style magazine and patented 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.
Other options available include a fourth-axis package, automatic tool length measurement and spindle probing. Request a free brochure from C Dugard ...
