The HSC 500֒s robust and rigid cast iron portal constructiondisplays excellent dampingproperties with mechanical and thermal stability leading togreater accuracy and precision. The machine is built to providemaximum stiffness minimising backlash and unwanted friction when machining. Schneeberger linear rollerguides and an accurate drivesystem guarantee precise positioning and high rigidity with axis acceleration rates up to 0.85g and feed rates of15m/min > and, for roughing operations,tools with a maximum diameterof 13mm > (0.51in.) can beaccommodated. With the30,000rpm HSK E40 option,tools with...

֑Lets get one thing straight Җ high-speedmachining is not just fast milling! At Bridgeportwe prefer to define HSM as an ultra-productive and effective machining process for the fastand efficient removal of a diverse range ofmetals and materials.However, to get the most from the process its important to understand the fundamentals of the high-speed machining concept itselfand their impact on every aspect of themachining process.Fundamentals such as:ҕ how high acceleration and feedrates reduce part cycle times and improve overallpart accuracy. the construction of the machine itself andthe ways...
