Task:

Machining excavator shovel teeth and special lugs made of toughened steel

Solution:

  • Asymmetric pendulum stroke for optimal work processes
  • Right: 5-axis machining of the ends of lugs in three sizes by means of rapidly exchangeable clamping devices
  • Left: Machining the mounting surfaces of excavator shovel teeth
  • Alignment by means of centring bolts, clamped onto hydraulically movable contact surface
