Product catalog summary
Overview
The Gantry Series machines are engineered for producing large and heavy work parts, ideal for tool and mold making, mechanical engineering, and structural steel engineering. They excel in machining 3D shapes in steel and aluminum, as well as plates, welding, and steel construction.
Standard Specifications
The machines feature a gantry design with a fixed table, offering traverse paths of X-axis (3,000 to 15,000 mm), Y-axis (1,600 to 5,000 mm), and Z-axis (800 to 2,300 mm). They utilize pre-stressed roller guides and ballscrews drive systems, with rapid feed rates powered by digital AC servo motors and digital main spindle drives. The motor spindle speed reaches up to 9,000 rpm with an orientated spindle stop. Additional features include a tool magazine that travels with the X-axis, automatic lag compensation for high-speed milling, a chip conveyor, and a coolant system. Control options include Rexroth INDRA Motion MTX, Heidenhain TNC 640, and Siemens 840D Solution Line.
Options
Available options include linear drives, motor spindles up to 42,000 rpm, additional tool magazines, various coolant systems, integrated quick change pallet systems, and clamping hydraulics or pneumatics. Additional tools include a 3-D probe, tool measuring, and control systems.
