+GF+ MIKRON HSM 400U LP

AgieCharmilles Mikron HSM 400U LP 5-Axis Vertical Machining Center with outstanding accuracy characteristics The HSM400U LP uses a gantry-style or fixed portal design. The moving parts are mounted on highly stiff, frictionless linear-roller-guide ways. This provides a highly durable and stick-slip-free motion for all running conditions. The machine tables are made of a well ribbed cast iron construction in which all transmission elements like supporting surfaces for guide carriage and the linear drive are integrated. For the MIKRON HSM 400U LP there is a choice between different pallet-chuck systems. Those chucks are integrated in the table construction. A weight optimized cast slide has been developed for the z-axis in order to enable a high cutting capacity when machining. Due to the box-form and good ribbing the spindle slide grants highest machine accuracy. The rotary tilt table has been developed by Mikron using optimized direct drive motors for the B and C axes. As a result true 5-axis simultaneous high-speed machining is granted. This design minimizes the total floor space required by the machine and is particularly suited for production of high value components such as molds, electrodes and production parts, in particular, 3-D complex parts. The portal and the base of the machine are made of polymer concrete. This composite offers excellent vibration damping characteristics - approximately 10 times greater than cast iron and significantly better than a welded construction, and is significantly more thermally stable then cast iron.. A high degree of damping is essential when working with high feed rates, high acceleration, and requirements for superior surface finishes.
