High speed M-C cuts light alloys and plastics
The new Prestige machining centre for complex machining tasks in light alloys and plastics, manufactured by the Italian company, FOM Industrie, has been introduced to the UK.
Typical users would be automotive parts manufacturers, cold extrusion and forging plants, valve manufacturers and steel service centres.
Accuracy of cut is assured by the bar pusher carriage with measuring by an electrically controlled, hydraulically cushioned length gauge.
A device is optionally available that cuts the billet to a required volume or weight rather than to length.
Material is supplied to the saw by means of an inclined loading table, bundle loader or flat magazine.
Discharge of cut pieces is to suit customer preference and there are possibilities for interlinking with other machine tools.
