3-axis machining center PowerMax® T

with 6 axesuniversalfor titanium alloys

Overview
Large manufacturing center designed for machining titanium and other hard-to-cut materials. PowerMax® T integrates three linear axes running on parallel linear guides with optical scales mounted to thermally-symmetric sub-structures, driven by coupled high-torque, high-power gear-motors under Siemens, Fanuc or Heidenhain CNC control. C and A axes follow the same mechanical concept; versions are available up to 6 axes with a roto-traversing table. The architecture delivers superior static and dynamic positioning at high speeds and accelerations to maintain a constant chip removal rate throughout the milling volume.

Kinematic Configuration
Partially reversed kinematic configuration to optimize tool access, workpiece handling and stability during high-force milling operations.

TWO MORPHOLOGIES

• The milling head moves horizontally along X with the column.
• The milling head moves vertically along Y within the column.
• The part moves horizontally along Z on the pallet.
• In the 6-axis version, the pallet is replaced by a moving rotary (roto-traversing) table.

Benefits

• Feasibility
  Manufacturing of complex geometry parts
• Quality
  Tight tolerances and consistent surface finish across the entire working volume
• Capacity
  Large milling volume for large structural components
• Productivity
  Reduced machining time through optimized kinematics and drive system
• High ROI/Low TCO
  Balanced capital investment and operational cost for high-demand sectors

Features (high level)
3 linear axes with parallel linear guides and optical scales; thermally-symmetric sub-structures; high-torque, high-power coupled gear-motors; option for C and A axes; available in configurations up to 6 axes with roto-traversing table; CNC control options: Siemens, Fanuc, Heidenhain.
