THE ULTIMATE IN MILL/TURN CENTERS

GBI Cincinnati offers the matec-30 HV/K. According to Kevin Bevan, president, ?These 5-axis traveling column machining centers have torque drives in the swiveling axes (swivel head and rotary table) and are ideal for very precise mold work, as well as mixed volume, short run operations.?

With an X-axis of 1,300 mm, Y-Axis of 600 mm and a Z-axis of 800 mm, the HV/K Series combines high performance milling/turning and large machining capacity within a compact 4,900 mm x 4,355 mm x 3,250 mm space-saving footprint. Table size is 1515 mm x 635 mm. Maximum table load is 1,000 kg and 5 table T slots are standard.

Rapid traverse rates of 30 m/min (48/100 m/min optional) mean accelerated machine cycle times and reduced non-cut time, which increases overall throughput. Also increasing cycle time is an automatic tool-change magazine offering a fast 3.5 sec (vertical) or 6.5 sec (horizontal) tool-to-tool index time. The tool changer holds 36 tools (up to 128 optional) with a maximum tool weight of 3 kg to 10 kg. Maximum tool diameter is 70 mm – 130 mm and length is 360 mm.

The matec-30 HV/K 5-axis machining centers include versatile high-speed linear guide ways in all axes. A high-torque 30 kW AC spindle motor with direct drive permits full horsepower at low spindle speeds. The standard 40-taper spindle delivers 12,000 RPM (42,000 RPM optional) with through-the?spindle coolant at 20 bar (70 bar optional) which helps keep the spindle cool. To assure the rigidity required for heavy-duty cutting, the machine base is manufactured from high-quality mehanite cast iron, ensuring stability for years to come.

The multi-functional machining area is the result of a fixed machine table with integrated rotary table. A 630 mm diameter CNC torque rotary table permits machining on 5 sides, with a speed range of 1,800 RPM. The swing circle of the CNC torque rotary table has a diameter of 1,000 mm. The CNC torque swivel head has a range of ± 105 deg for horizontal and vertical machining.

An automated lubrication system, a complete coolant system and splashguards with overlapping doors are standard. The electrical cabinet is dust-proof. All wire through-holes are protected by water-resistant fittings to prevent oil moisture from entering. This extends electronic parts service life and assures maximum dependability.
The machining area is completely enclosed with electrically locked sliding doors. Bellows with steel lamellas, chip conveyors and centralized lubrication are all standard, as are glass scales in X-, Y-, and Z-axis.

The matec-30HV/K is equipped with the Heidenhain iTNC 530 control for optimized results in turning, milling and 5-axis machining. Siemens 840 D is optional.

Utilizing only leading edge technology, each matec machine is designed and analyzed using advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for dynamic simulation and structural analysis. All matec machines are laser calibrated and inspected to VDI (German Industrial Standards) to ensure the final product is of the absolute finest quality.
