work is the ability to use shorter tools, gaining more rigidity and accuracy for fi ne surface fi nishing. Also we are able to do a dy- namic reset of kinematics before taking the fi nal fi nish passes that can compensate for any changes in the machine due to temperature, vibration or changes in the tool itself,” said Huggett.
Five Face/Five Axis Machining Centers JapanTek’s 5X-410 machining center from SB Machine Tools (Scha- umburg, IL) provides a unique fi ve-face/ fi ve-axis machining capability that can be confi gured in four different ways: fi ve-axis machining with APC; fi ve-face machining with APC; horizontal machin- ing with APC; and vertical machining with APC. Unlike cradle or trunnion types, the 5X-410 maintains original strokes and part size/weight envelopes, while offering better accessibility. Contrasted with tilting table/articulating head types, the 5X-410 is said to be much easier to program and operate. The 5X-410 is well suited for aviation, aerospace, medical, automotive, and die and mold applications, among others. The 120° (90° ±15°) tilting spindle makes the 5X-410 well suited for aero- space, medical, automotive, and die and mold applications, among others. Design intention is to combine a fully controlled, double-wormgear driven pal- let and extended linear strokes in XYZ axes to provide an enhanced, yet simpli- fi ed approach to simultaneous, multiaxis machining. The 16" (406-mm) square pallet accommodates a 16 × 16" (406 × 406-mm) workpiece and allows for full four sides and top surface machining on any 16" cube part. A 30-hp (22-kW) main motor, a 60-tool magazine with ATC and coolant through the spindle are standard. The standard speed of the CAT-40 spindle is 12,000 rpm; 15,000 rpm is available as an option.
NEW NEW Introducing the 2900 Electronic Indicator Series
Measures to one micron resolution while measuring up on the shop floor.
The new Starrett 2900 Electronic Indicators pack a lot of accuracy and toughness into a small package. Innovative True Absolute Sensor Technology minimizes the chance of data loss for exceptional reliability. And IP67 protection means they hold up to dirt, dust, water and coolant. Built with legendary Starrett quality in a choice of configurations – including one micron resolution models – to meet your requirements.
Large Capacity Mold and Die Machining Two all new CNC vertical machining centers for machining
large industrial molds and dies from Hyundai WIA (Carlstadt, NJ) feature XYZ-axis travels of 61 × 29.5 × 28.5" (1550 × 750 ×
2900 Electronic Indicators are available in a choice of configurations to meet a range of requirements, and are built to withstand a hostile shop environment.
