GF AgieCharmilles' Mikron HPM 800U is ideal for the aerospace and automotive industries.
Lincolnshire, Illinois, January 7, 2010 – GF AgieCharmilles' Mikron HPM 800U high performance machining center offers dynamic, five-axis milling suited for the aerospace and automotive industries. Equipped with directly driven circular and swiveling axes, the machine can be used for a range of applications, including complex mold making, heavy roughing and precise finishing.
The Mikron HPM 800U features stable construction and a simultaneously operable, circular swiveling table with water-cooled direct drives and three axis clamps. The increased accessibility allows users to load and manually secure smaller parts on the table with ease. The machine is also equipped with a dual drive in the Y-axis for increased stability, as well as a superior spindle technology from StepTec to deliver high quality 3-D surfacing results and exceptional chip removal rates. Other features include doors that can be opened out wide to enable unrestricted access to the working area, as well as scratchproof windows that allow a clear view of the machining area.
Additionally, all tools are visible in the Mikron HPM 800U due to the inclusion of a tool magazine with a front made entirely of glass. This feature allows damaged tools to be quickly identified and replaced. Users also benefit from the inclusion of the latest generation Heidenhain iTNC 530 digital control system, which offers an Ethernet connection for fast CAM data flow, free contour and parallel programming, advanced high-speed functions and an optional mobile hand wheel that brings users close to the cutting point if required.
