First Doosan 5-axis machining centre coming soon
1 min read
The first 5-axis Doosan machining centre, from Mills CNC, is due to hit UK shores in February next year.
The new, compact, travelling-column, vertical spindle VC630/5AX is, says Nick Frampton, Mills CNC's managing director: "Destined to be a huge success".
The VC630/5AX is a versatile 5-axis machine and has been designed for a diverse range of applications. From heavy-duty machining of difficult and hard-to-machine materials, like titanium and inconel, through to high speed cutting of aluminium, the VC630/5AX is said to offer high accuracy machining, heavy metal removal and fine finishing operations...and seemingly everything in-between, it is reported.
As such, the machine is forecast by Mills CNC to be a big hit with manufacturers machining high precision, complex parts for the aerospace, defence, motorsport, medical and mould tool and die sectors.
Working capacity is 650 by 765 by 520 mm in X, Y and Z, respectively.
Concludes Mr Frampton: "The VC630/5AX will be available to customers from February 2010. Similar to other Doosan multi-axis machines we've launched into the UK and Irish markets over recent years - like our MX-series of Mill-Turn Centres - we're extremely confident about the success of this new 5-axis machine - and we're already taking enquiries for the VC630/5AX some 3 months before its availability.
"For precision manufacturers looking to increase their productivity by being able to machine complex parts in fewer set-ups (often in one-hit), the new VC630/5AX will be hard to beat...on price...and on performance."
