Available in the UK from TW Ward CNC Machinery, the machine has a work envelope of 660 by 550 by 460 mm and can accommodate loads of 300 kg. A 25 rpm, 650 mm diameter table on the fourth/fifth axis unit can handle loads of 200 kg, while B-axis movement is +110 to -50° (C-axis rotation is 360°).
As standard, the machine offers a 12.5 kW direct-drive spindle head and has rapids of 30 m/min plus a 24-tool ATC. Furthermore, the 24,000 rpm ‘i-Tech’ spindle is supported by the gantry-type construction that is based on double-wall columns of spheroidal cast iron. Importantly, when used in 3-axis mode, the workpiece remains stationary on the base, so loads remain constant.
