Hydrostatic bearings bring about a leap in performance in titanium machining
The S1250 HD is predestined for simultaneous 5-axis heavy machining of titanium and Inconel parts due to its excellent static and dynamic properties.
The user derives the greatest advantages from the use of hydrostatic guides in roughing operations. Due to the significantly higher rigidity and damping compared to roller guides, the cutting depths can be increased threefold. The roughing times are reduced accordingly.
The new S1250 HD also benefits from the hydrostatic bearing during finishing. The increased rigidity reduces pitching of the column, which limits jerking and acceleration. The higher dynamics are noticeable in higher starting speeds, accelerations and faster five-axis movements. This ultimately also reduces the finishing times.
Applications:
- Titanium structural part: Unrivalled material removal rates of > 800 cm³/min in Titanium
- Small landing gears: 30% more productive for hard metals like titanium or inconel
- Titanium casing: 30% more productive for metals like titanium or inconel
Spindles:
Starrag offers comprehensive spindle know-how and for many years has successfully delivered more than 2000 units to the market.
For hard to cut materials Starrag spindles achieve higher material removal rates through:
- Superior stiffness with short and sturdy spindle shafts
- Superior collision contour through compact built up means shorter tool lengths
- Superior torque characteristic adjusted for hard metal machining
Machine sizes:
The S1250 HD is the only machine in its size that features hydrostatic guideways.
The highly rigid machine structure coupled with the massive guide structure and with preloaded hydrostatic handle guides can increase the dynamics and the roughing performance.
Maximum workpiece capacity:
- 1000 x 1250 mm
- 5000 kg
Machine axis:
S1250 HD - High performance simultaneous 5 axis machining center
To achieve highest material removal rates, it is decisive to have a balanced design without weakness. Here the extremely compact milling heads are built stiff and accurate.
In addition to the high stiffness, the compact milling head, means shorter tools can be used giving additional stability.
Tool handling:
The S1250 HD machines are equipped with state-of-the-art tool magazines and tool changers manufactured by the Starrag Group.
With a range of tool magazines up to 465 places per machine (HSK-A125), the right solution can be selected for any application.
Starrag's chain and tower magazines offer the following advantages:
- Fast and reliable design, tested in hundreds of machines.
- Tool loading during machining process.
- Wide variety of magazine sizes and options.
Precision and process capability:
In modern production, quality is an absolute must. For Starrag this means that reliable manufacturing must be possible in less than ideal conditions such as fluctuating temperatures or lack of warm-up phases. As the customer this is an opportunity to reduce costs by reducing the frequency of CMM measuring the finished parts. Additionally, energy costs for temperature stabilization of the shop and machine can be reduced.
