The Edgetek range of superabrasive machining systems are providing manufacturers with an opportunity to improve competitiveness, through greatly reduced manufacturing cycles, in some cases by over 80% and with equally impressive tool cost savings. With ultra rigid Granite Polymer base and column units that enhance vibration damping, GE-Fanuc® 3, 4 or 5 axis CNC control and CBN high speed wheel systems, they deliver improved quality and part to part consistency.
Employing HEDG techniques enables them to achieve optimised material removal rates with high depths of cut, which far exceed those of more conventional machines.
Designed initially to machine a wide range of hard and exotic materials originally found in the aerospace, medical and hand tool industries their market base is continually expanding as these materials find their way into new products and technologies.
Features include:
- Spindle power options up to 60 kW (80hp)
- Wheel surface speeds up to 200m/sec (40,000ft/min)
- Custom developed Coolant Systems
- X, Y and Z Axis travel up to 1270 x 610 x 760mm (50” x 24” x 30”)
- HSK spindles for quick changeover of wheel stacks and optional automatic tool changing
- Robotic load/unload systems
- Palletised fixturing for fast changeovers
- Optional CMM Machine Integration
