Soraluce said these are key features of the High Rail Gantry Machines:
High dynamics
Unparalleled efficiency with the High Dynamics feature of the Dynamic Line with ground-breaking high-speed cutting capabilities. With axes speeds reaching up to an impressive 60,000 mm/min and accelerations soaring to 4 m/s², these machines are engineered to push the boundaries of productivity.
Innovative 5-axis contouring heads, boasting speeds of up to 30,000 rpm. It's not just about moving fast; it's about moving precisely and with finesse. With these heads, intricate designs and complex geometries are achievable.
Whether you're sculpting the perfect aerospace component or executing intricate mould & die machining, semi-finishing and finishing in steel or aluminium, the High Dynamics feature ensures that your machining operations are executed with unmatched precision and efficiency.
Precision excellence
Dynamic Line delivers the finest surface quality for your most demanding work. In the realm of precision engineering, every detail matters, and achieving impeccable surface finishes is paramount. With the Dynamic Line, excellence isn't just a goal—it's a guarantee.
One of the cornerstones of this commitment is thermal stability, ensuring that performance remains consistent even in the face of fluctuating temperatures and rigorous machining tasks. This stability is more than just a feature; it's a testament to the meticulous engineering that underpins every aspect of the Dynamic Line.
Moreover, the Dynamic Line boasts highly calibrated kinematics, further enhancing its ability to deliver exceptional results. Every movement is precisely controlled, every motion meticulously calculated, ensuring that each component is crafted with the utmost accuracy and finesse.
But excellence doesn't stop there. The Dynamic Line's high revolutions enable long-duration machining without compromising on quality or performance. Whether you're engaged in marathon machining sessions or tackling intricate designs that require extended running times, Dynamic Line delivers consistent results, time and time again.
Cutting power unleashed
At the heart of cutting power lies heavy-duty mechanical heads, engineered to deliver unparalleled power with up to 73 kW. This remarkable power output ensures optimal performance, enabling users to tackle even the most challenging cutting tasks with ease and precision.
Moreover, Soraluce said its solution offers a diverse range of high-torque mechanical 5-axis contouring heads, boasting torque levels of up to 2000 Nm. This versatility empowers operators to execute intricate cuts with unprecedented accuracy, catering to a wide spectrum of application needs across various industries.
To augment stability and performance, cutting power integrates intelligent damping solutions such as DAS+ and DWS, complemented by a robust full cast iron structure. These innovative features work in tandem to minimise vibrations and ensure consistent operation, even in the most demanding working environments.
