Vertical machining centre MCU 1100

MCU 1100 – Vertical upper gantry multifunctional center with wide technological utilisation like – continuous five-axis milling, turning, other technologies (drilling, boring, reaming, thread cutting). All main elements of the frame are made of high quality cast iron which ensures unmatched rigidity, high damping and thermal stability.
Main application is found in the power industry in the production of water and steam turbines, impeller, stator and rotor blades, but also in the automotive, aerospace and engineering industries.
Fitting materials – steel, cast iron, ferrous and non-ferrous metal, plastics, wood, and graphite.

Machine Concept

vertical gantry type center (upper gantry) with rotary and tilting table
high rigidity thanks to a massive design made from grey and nodular cast iron
symmetrical design
active thermal stabilization
moveable machine components (crossbeam, saddle, headstock) are located on roller linear guideways
hydraulic or pneumatic ram balancing
ram placed in the saddle with two sliding guideways for max. rigidity and damping

Drives of linear axes and measuring system

direct measuring in all axes
Y axis (crossbeam travel) in gantry mode, each drive has its independent measuring system
automatic lubrication of all moveable parts

Rotary and tilting table

symmetrical design
direct drive by means of torque motor with direct absolute measuring in C axis
flow cooling of C axis drive
tilting A axis with mechanical drive in both sides (gantry), high-accurate ground bevel gear with curved gearing
rotary table axis with endless rotary angle
hydraulic clamping for indexing of machining in all three drives
possible palette changing system
- hydraulic clamping of the palettes by means of 4 precise clamping pins
