A 32 kW milling head with 0.001° by 0.001° indexing sets new standards in super accurate one-hit milling

A new generation Soraluce 32 kW milling head with 0.001° by 0.001° indexing set a new standards in super accurate one-hit milling. Complementing already impressive high cutting speeds and high rapid traverse rates of 25,000 mm/min and up to 30,000 rpm electro spindles, the new head is the latest enhancement to a choice of automatic indexing heads, floor and angle plates, and auxiliary and CNC rotary and tiling tables that enable Soraluce machines to effectively and efficiently handle all types of single set-up, multi-axis milling tasks - from heavy-duty cutting through to finish machining. With electro-spindles, Soraluce users are promised fast production cycles, high quality surface finishes and 'dual' machining capabilities, and by effectively 'doubling up' machine capacity can rough and finish with the same spindle or quickly swap the unit with the standard automatic indexing head arrangement used for heavy metal removal. In addition, the electro-spindles’ 'cold' rotor also extends the life of the bearings - equating to a spindle life of at least 7,000 hours compared with the usual 3,000 hours available from an asynchronous unit, courtesy of the very low levels of vibration generated and its ability to achieve balance independent of both speed and power.
