GF Machining MIKRON HPM 600U / 800U Simultaneous 5-Axis Milling Centers
Monday, November 3, 2014Description :
With their new features, the MIKRON HPM 600U / 800U opens the horizon of possible applications.

The latest generation MIKRON HPM 600U and HPM 800U 5-axis simultaneous milling centers from GF Machining Solutions offer even greater speed, powerful machine control, high-quality spindle protection and advanced chip management technology - so many assets that will guarantee your success. The new HPM 600U / 800U machines are fully automated, 5-axis, high-performance, compact milling solutions that will move your machining operations to the next level.

Specially designed for the manufacture of molds and tools and for the production of high-end components, the HPM 600U and HPM 800U can be configured for manual loading or for use with fully automatic pallet magazines, allowing handling Of significant tool volumes. The range has powerful drives on the X, Y and Z axes and direct drives on the axes of rotation and pivoting. All of these characteristics allow extremely dynamic and economical machining, ensuring optimum automatic loading of workpieces (pallet changer), with magazines of 30 to 210 tools. In addition, the view on the workspace is never hampered, even on the fully automatic version.

Despite being sturdy and extremely compact, the machines have a large working space. The maximum X-Y strokes of the HPM 800U, for example, are 800 x 800 mm. The Z axis of the machine allows a clearance of 700 mm between the table and the spindle nose, allowing the large parts to be machined on all five sides. Thanks to the generous dimensions of the working space, it is possible to machine cylindrical parts up to 800 mm in diameter. The dimensions of the circular tilting table are intelligently chosen and can be used to machine parts up to 600 mm high, with tools 100 mm long on all sides.

The Siemens control opens the door to new applications

The high-end Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl (CNC) controller is now available on the HPM 600U / 800U range. This modular numerical control with drive allows new applications for molds and dies, including in the field of production of molds for plastic parts in the automotive sector, as well as for the manufacture of enclosures for printers, televisions And other electronic items.

In the field of aeronautical production, the SINUMERIK 840D sl allows you to easily perform simultaneous milling operations on five axes, on parts such as turbines and blisks, for the aeronautics and energy sectors.

The main feature of the SINUMERIK 840D sl is the continuity from the CAD program to the finished workpiece. Intelligent motion control enables precise and fast production, even for extremely complex parts. Changes are simplified by separating geometry and technology, using the Remote Tool Center Point (RTCP) function and the 3D tool offset.

The advantages of the new motor spindle

The Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl has already proven itself with the Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl, and the Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl 20,000 rpm motor is one of the standard equipment of the HPM 600U / 800U machines. Heidenhain iTNC 530 Digital Controller.

The new 20,000 rpm motor spindle offers a multitude of percussive advantages. Customers can benefit from lower tool wear due to greater stability, due to the 30% higher clamping force of the toolholder and a 10% increase in tool diameter. The shaft-bearing assembly. In addition, compared to its predecessor, the new motor spindle consumes 30% less compressed air and generates 20% less heat. Compared to the shaft of an Inline spindle, the rotating shaft of a motor spindle is much shorter, thus generating less vibration at maximum speed and achieving a wing accuracy of 40% higher, Longer service life and a better quality workpiece surface. The new motor spindle features a higher torque of 40%, eight cooling nozzles positioned around the tool with 180-degree spacing, and two integrated LEDs at the front of the truck for better illumination of the job.

The Step-Tec 28,000 min-1 HSK-163 motor spindle is available for the HPM 600U / 800U with CoolCore patented shaft cooling technology. CoolCore water cooling ensures stable temperature and expansion of the rotor shaft. Reducing thermal influences allows you to achieve high-precision machining.

Machine and spindle protection MSP

The MSP protection of GF Machining Solutions protects the machine and the spindle during the commissioning process. It is essentially during the first use of a new numerical control program that accidents occur. In safety mode, loading takes place at a reduced speed, enabling routine cutting operations and guaranteeing the protection of the spindle and the machine against damage due to accidents.

When conditions require higher loading speeds, production is carried out in Standard mode and the axes of the machine are able to move at full speed. The MSP protection comes with a three-year warranty against spindle accidents; This period can be extended by five years, which means a total guarantee of eight years.

Advanced chip management

High-performance milling generates large amounts of chips, which must be transported out of the workspace; For this reason, GF Machining Solutions constantly develops innovations to improve chip management. The HPM 800U / 600U milling machines have the latest GF Machining Solutions chip management system, allowing you to choose the solution that best suits your needs, depending on your material and the shape of the chips.

The options for the chip management system include: scraper chip and pallet chute conveyors, discharge station, chip carriage, 450 liter basket filter system, 950 liter belt filter system , 950 and 1850 liter belt filter systems, 15-40 bar and 18-80 bar spindle cooling (TSC), washing system, oil recuperator and thermal control Of the cooling.

Towards a balanced and highly personalized system

Your success depends on your performance and flexibility: the functionality of the HPM 600U / 800U machines is synonymous with a balanced and highly personalized system for higher profitability. Thanks to them, you have all the advantages you need to control your machining costs and improve the quality of your production. You can achieve even greater versatility by relying on different sizes of tool magazines and choosing pallet handling for two, seven, nine or twelve pallets (on the fully automated version).

The HPM 600U and HPM 800U are also available in High Dynamics (HD) versions, with 1.7 g axis accelerations and speeds up to 60 m / min.
