The a800Z is a horizontal machining centre that adds 5X capabilities to the highly successful a81nx machine. Featuring the same power, performance and reliability as the a81nx, the new a800Z will prove an attractive investment for production applications in the e-vehicle, internal combustion engine, agricultural vehicle, semiconductor and aerospace industries.
Z-type table
It is not just the spindles that stand out on the new a800Z. Its Z-type agility tiling table brings the centre of gravity of the table and the workpiece close to the centre of rotation of the tilting axis. As a result, inertia is minimised while positioning movements can be performed at high speed and with great accuracy. In other words, this oversized table – in itself an advantage – plays a key role in enabling fast and accurate 5X machining.
Excellent chip evacuation
No machine operator wants chips accumulating in the machining chamber. That is why the a800Z has a high-capacity chip management system. The interior walls of the machining chamber are in stainless steel to minimise chip adherence. Besides, these close-to-vertical walls allow chips to freely fall by their own weight. Three evacuation channels at the bottom of the chamber ensure efficient chip evacuation to the standard high-capacity chip conveyor. Such efficiency avoids energy losses and reduces coolant tank maintenance.
Economical coolant use
Disposing of the fine chips and sludge generated in machining processes is problematic, as contaminated coolant is hardly an eco-friendly liquid. In the a800Z an agitator in the coolant tank prevents the particles from settling and accumulating.
