Precision, rigidity enables manufacturers to automate production with confidence.
An all-in-one automation solution for the MedCenter5AX 5-axis simultaneous vertical machining center will be revealed at IMTS 2022. Demonstrating the core qualities for lights-out production, the MedCenter5AX features a newly designed and field expandable 24-station automatic pallet changer with a high performance 120 tool automatic tool changer (ATC) – all in a super compact, space saving footprint incorporating an unmanned machining development process for a multi-tasking machining environment maximizing uptime.
The versatile MedCenter5AX is an ultra-high precision, 5-axis machining center offering accuracy and speed for expanded machining capability in the machining of highly complex small to medium, multi-sided parts in one setup. The machine’s maximum stiffness, flexibility, and cutting capability make it an optimal choice for manufacturing precision parts for the medical, aerospace, and telecommunications industries.
The MedCenter5AX comes with a standard high-speed 30,000rpm 18kW (24.5hp) direct drive, HSK-E40 spindle for superb rigidity in spindle construction and function with super-fine finish capabilities. Suitable for small diameter tools and hard milling, the MedCenter5AX offers a standard air-through spindle feature for dry cutting and can handle up to 1,000psi coolant thru the spindle for deep hole drilling requirements.
