5-Axis Universal MC Offers Stable, Precise Cutting
GROB's G550 Generation 2 5-Axis Machining Center offers optimized milling performance for a broad range of part materials, and is equipped with a Siemens 840D SL control, 16k rpm spindle, and an HSK-A63 tool interface.
The G550's unique machine concept includes a horizontal spindle position that permits the longest possible Z-travel path and optimum chip fall. The arrangement of three linear axes offers maximum stability by minimizing the distance between the guides and the machining point (TCP).
The G550's tunnel concept allows the largest possible component to be swiveled and machined within the work area without collision -- even with extremely long tools. Three linear and two rotary axes permit 5-sided machining, as well as 5-axis simultaneous interpolation, with a swivel range of 230 degrees in the A-axis and 360 degrees in the B-axis.
Integrated with the G550, the PSS-R900 rotary pallet storage system is ideally suited as a modular system with up to 13 pallets that can significantly increase machine utilization and productivity with longer unmanned periods.
This system offers optimum entry into automated, highly efficient production with a small footprint. It is equipped with three design versions per machine.
The PSS-R has a high storage capacity and offers an easily accessible setup station next to the machine control panel, which can be rotated and locked. The system offers clamping on the external setup station during automatic mode and is equipped with a double loading fork which enables very fast pallet exchange.
GROB Systems will be demonstrating a range of 5-Axis machining applications on its G550 Generation 2 Universal Machining Center at EASTEC in West Springfield, MA from May 16th-18th.
