CONSTRUCTION
* BED, COLUMN, AND SADDLE:
The bed is a rigid one-piece casting with heavy ribbing to prevent deformation during heavy cutting. Fine grain Meehanite cast iron is used for its excellent dampening characteristics. Extra wide boxways provide excellent support for the saddle, regardless of the load distribution on the table. The table is fully supported by the saddle in all positions. The table and saddle utilize a unique dovetail design to reduce table lifting and inaccuracy when off center loads or fixtures are used.. The rigid box type column casting is heavily ribbed to prevent twisting or distortion.

* SPINDLE, HEADSTOCK, AND COLUMN:
The high speed, 10,000 RPM, 40 taper spindle is a true cartridge type unit supported by precision class bearings that are permanently grease lubricated. The spindle is driven by a high torque 20 HP (30 min.) A.C. motor delivering an impressive 142ft/lbs. Power is transferred through a heavy-duty cogged drive belt eliminating slippage, promoting thermal stability, and minimizing vibration. An encoder is attached to the spindle to allow rigid tapping.

* GUIDEWAYS:
Wide Box ways are used for unsurpassed long-term rigidity and accuracy. Each guideway is induction hardened and precision ground. Reulon is bonded to the mating way surfaces and then hand scraped to ensure perfect fit and tolerances. The Reulon resin with forced way lubrication provides a low friction surface and virtually eliminates guideway wear. All guideways are fully protected from chips and damage.

* OIL JACKET SPINDLE CHILLER (STANDARD):
Machine accuracy is maintained by using a refrigeration system that circulates cooled oil around the spindle reducing the thermal effects of any heat generated.

* AUTOMATIC TOOL CHANGER:

* Fast random access double arm tool changer with 1.5 second tool change time

* BALL SCREWS AND AXIS DRIVES:
Each axis is driven by a high precision double-nut ballscrew. The ballscrews are centered between the guideways. The ballscrews are supported on both ends by angular contact thrust bearings. This double pretension design provides outstanding positioning repeatability with virtually no thermal growth. All axes have large diameter 2.48" ball screws that are connected directly to oversize A.C. servo drive motors without gears or belts, to eliminate backlash. Each axis has a flexible coupling to protect the ball screw in the event of a sudden impact. These couplings can be quickly reset.

* PORTABLE MANUAL PULSE GENERATOR:
The hand held “Manual Pulse Generator” lets each axis move in increments of 0.0001", 0.0010" or 0.0100" making fixture or part alignment quick and easy. The 10-foot cord gives full access to the machine and the magnetic back allows for (1) handed operation with the “MPG” being conveniently held in place on the machine table or guarding.

* PROGRAM AND DATA PROTECTION KEY SWITCH:
The keyed switch enables the protection mode for both the program and offset data. Removing the key limits access to only authorized personnel. In the unprotected position the key can not be removed and all data is available for edit.

The large 79-gallon tank stores an ample supply of coolant and is isolated from the machine bed to prevent heat transfer.

* SPINDLE AIR BLOW (M14):
Air is supplied to the back of the pull stud then forced through the tool using the same technique as the through the spindle coolant. The spindle air blow is commonly used on pre-hardened die and mold cutting, cutting of plastics and anytime coolant would contaminate the work piece.

* FULLY ENCLOSED GUARDING:
The fully enclosed guarding is made of heavy gauge sheet metal to contain both chips and coolant. The large dual sliding doors open to provide unrestricted overhead access for ease of lifting heavy fixtures or work pieces.

* CHIP DISPOSAL AND COOLANT SYSTEM:
High volume coolant system washes chips down into the front mounted basket or optional conveyor.
A separate pump provides flood coolant through adjustable spindle mounted nozzles.

* LUBRICATION:
Automatic lubrication is provided to the box guideways and ball screws. Lubrication oil is delivered by metered piston distributors, which precisely control the volume of oil. A Low-level alarm prevents the machine from being restarting preventing possible damage.
