5-axis machining centre can also turn
parts
A 5-axis machining centre moves through its centre of gravity, avoiding out of balance forces, maximizes its rigidity with zero table overhang and can turn too.
Mori Seiki's latest 5-axis machining centre, the NMV5000 DCG, encapsulates the company's theme of 'Pure Technology' at the UK's MACH 2008 machine tool exhibition With its Box-in-Box construction and twin ball screws on the Y- and Z-axis, the NMV5000 DCG moves through its centre of gravity, avoiding out of balance forces, and maximizes its rigidity with zero table overhang, which can be a serious source of flexing and vibration in the machine structure

Compact five-axis VMC offers high capacity
For the high speed machining of turbine blades and mould and die parts, Pollard Mori Seiki is offering an extremely rigid and compact, simultaneous five-axis vertical machining centre.
System proves more versatile than pallet shuttles
With experience of radial and shuttle layouts, Plenty was seeking a more compact and versatile system. A Fastems DMC-MD medium duty pallet handling installation provided the answer.
* Easy operator access - access to the machine is easy for the operator as the rotary table moves sideways making it easy to examine a part irrespective of its angle.
A retractable roof panel allows the operator to reach right into the machine and provides sufficient room to move heavy components by crane.
Where pallet loading is fitted, this is to the side of the machine, so that it does not impede operator access and also gives space for complex part handling arrangements.

Pollard Mori Seiki's extremely compact CL Series of CNC chucking lathes offer superior rigidity to support continuous high speed machining of production components.
Long-bed machining centre is built for speed
A substantial three-way guideway system, which supports the longitudinal travel of a moving column, provides theSVL5020 long-bed VMC with plenty rigidity for the high speed milling.
As well as DCG (Driven at the Centre of Gravity), the machine also features ORCTM (Octagonal Ram Construction) and DDMTM (Direct Drive Motor).
ORCTM combines rigidity for the Z-axis with thermal stability due to its symmetrical design.
Direct drive motors are fitted to the two rotary axes and the spindle, eliminating the vibration and backlash associated with gears, belts and worm drives.
Spindle speeds can be up to 20,000 rev/min, while the C-axis can rotate at 1,200 rev/min for high precision turning operations.
Metal removal rates in carbon steel can reach 336mL/min, which is 65% greater than the previous model.
MAPPS III, Mori Seiki's latest interactive control system, simplifies 5-axis programming and simulates the machine's kinematics, avoiding collisions with the tool, part or machine structure when moving several axes at the same time.
The NMV 5000 DCG brings together technology, reliability, rigidity, accuracy and performance into a machine which will meet the most exacting demands of 5-axis machinists.
MACH 2008 provides the ideal opportunity to see it in action, said Mori Seiki.
