The base, column and saddle are cast from high-grade iron to keep the structure rigid and stable. The column is built as a single frame, which helps control heat deformation during long machining cycles and keeps the geometry steady. This layout provides a solid foundation for accurate cutting, especially when working with complex shapes.
The X, Y, and Z feed axes use servo motors together with linear roller guides and precision-grade ball screws. This combination gives the drives the rigidity and accuracy needed for stable positioning during machining.
The spindle uses a U-type tilting head, allowing it to swing along the A axis. The A axis uses a hydraulic locking mechanism that holds the tilting head steady during heavy-cutting operations. The spindle reaches a maximum speed of 4000 r/min.
Can these 5-axis machining centers finish complex mold surfaces in a single setup?
The five-axis movement lets the tool reach angles and surfaces that a three-axis setup simply can’t access. With accurate positioning and a steady clamping setup, the center can cover areas that would normally become blind spots, so cavities and curved surfaces can be finished in one setup without having to reposition the part.
Do the spindle speed and torque options cover different grades of mold steel?
Yes. The series supports both low-speed, high-torque mechanical spindles and high-speed motor spindles, including 8,000 rpm and 12,000 rpm variants. Combined with full five-axis linkage on X, Y, Z, A and B, these configurations meet the cutting requirements of most mold steels, from tougher grades that need stronger torque to materials that benefit from higher spindle speeds.
