Two advanced machining centres to go on show
Kitamura will show a VMC with a 30,000 rev/min spindle and Fanuc 16iMB CNC control with 500 block look ahead and a high accuracyt production HMC at EMO 2005.
Servo barfeed has under 3 min set-up time
Barfeed uses a fully electric servo driven magazine to provide fast and easy handling, which is demonstrated with its remarkable set-up times of less than three minutes.
At the exhibition, alongside the Kitamura HX400ialpha machining centre and a new model DMC CNC lathe, the Monforts MHC Pick-up horizontal turning centre is available with Fanuc or Siemens CNC and is usually fitted with a bar feeder and/or component loading unloading system.
The horizontal design gives ease of access for manual loading and allows the MHC Pick-up to accommodate parts up to 520mm long with a maximum diameter range of 260mm.
The rigid, robust and highly productive MHC Pick-up is destined to be a major success at MACH, said Leader CNC.
* Powerful machining centre - the Kitamura Mycenter HX400ialpha has a rigid BT40 taper spindle driven by an AC18.5kW drive motor with a 2-speed geared drive head.
The drive develops full power at 652 rev/min and maximum output torque of 270Nm for high metal removal rates and tough material machining.
For high speed machining, the HX400ialpha is also available with a 20,000 rev/min gear driven spindle.
Like the other machines in the Kitamura Mycenter range, the HX400ialpha has the following features.
* A ballscrew cooling system.
* Gearbox driven spindle.
* Box slideways.
The machine's upgraded Fanuc 16iMB control works with the Kitamura Intelligent Advanced Control (IAC) to guarantee positional, repeatability and roundness accuracies of +/-0.002mm, +/-0.001mm and +/-0.003mm respectively.
Leade CNC told manufacturingtalk.com that the machining cente combines exceptional accuracy with impressive production rates.
The twin pallet machine has an extremely quick rotary pallet change of 5s.
The Mycenter HX400ialpha can handle components with a diameter of 700mm, up to 960mm high and weighing up to 400kg each.
