1 min read

XYZ Machine Tools attendance at Southern Manufacturing (Stand E190) will focus attention on its UMC-5X simultaneous five-axis, gantry-style, machining centre.

As with all machines from XYZ Machine Tools, the UMC-5X is available at a very competitive price point, yet comes with leading-edge technology such as Traori/Kinematic functions for five-axis simultaneous machining, as well as integrated Smart Machining Technology (SMT) and thermal growth compensation.

The standard control system is the Siemens 840DSL ShopMill Control, with the option of specifying the iTNC 640 HSCI Heidenhain system. Both controls ensure a machine capable of high precision, high speed, simultaneous five-axis machining.

Other key features are the front loading 600 mm diameter trunnion rotary table, with a high accuracy, direct drive, high torque motor providing 90 revs/min rotation of the table.

Additional specifications include in-line spindles with 12,000 / 15,000 revs/min or, a high speed 18,000 / 24,000 rpm motorised built-in spindle, high pressure through spindle coolant, side-mounted 24, 32, 48 or 60 tools ATC for quick tool changing, linear scales on the X, Y and Z axes with high precision encoders on A and C axis pivot centres.
