Plates drilling, milling and thermal cutting
Automatic CNC drilling, milling and thermal cutting system for large plates. The new TIPO G product line combines the advantages of gantry style plate processors where the plate is stationary with that of systems where the plate is positioned for each operation. The TIPO G features sub-axis spindle positioning so it is not always necessary to unclamp, position a gantry or material and re-clamp the material for each spindle operation. The system integrates thermal cutting (straight and bevel), drilling, milling, scribing, countersinking and more with industry leading accuracy.
The high speed machining spindle allows extremely productive drilling of holes up to 60mm (2-3/8”). For larger holes up to 400mm (15-3/4”) the TIPO G, with sub axis spindle positioning, can mill holes with exceptional accuracy on diameter and concentricity.
The automatic tool change system is managed by the CNC and is equipped with 24 positions.
The system can be equipped with an additional drilling spindle with a second 24 positions tool-changer to increase the productivity.
Dedicated software upgrades allow special milling operations such us straight slots, special curve slots, countersinking, “Y” and “J” groove, and other special cycles.
The system can be equipped with one or two oxy-fuel cutting torches to cover all manufacturing needs.
The brand new Hypertherm XPR300 or HPR400XD power sources can be supplied for one or two torches for straight or bevel cutting.
Lateral grippers, driven by a precise rack and pinion system along fix rails, are utilized to position the plate in the “X” axis. The lateral grippers, in conjunction with hydraulic material clamping, are employed to reposition longer plates, expanding the size of stock plates that can be processed.
An underside material support system is positioned in coordination with the movement of the drill spindle. This stabilizes the plate during all spindle operations.
The exhaust system filters the particulate matter generated by the thermal cutting operations. The air is filtered according to the latest health and safety requirements.
The infeed and outfeed conveyors can be extended in order to accommodate longer stock plates. The conveyors are pre-arranged to accommodate cross transfer tables for loading and unloading of plates.
A special trap door can be supplied to unloaded finished parts with a max. size of 500x500mm (19-5/8” x 19-5/8”).
