Task:

Machining of guide rails made from high-strength steels, Toolox 33 / Toolox 44

Solution:

• Equipment of the working area with magnetic clamping plates and hydraulic vises.
• The magnetic clamping plates are located in the rear Y-axis travel area and can be controlled via the main control panel.
• The hydraulic vises are equipped with an integrated measuring system, which enables precise pre-positioning of the vises for different workpiece widths.
• Programming is carried out via a specially designed HMI interface.

Special feature:

• Two-part machine bed: The VHC has been designed so that it can be split lengthwise for transport and commissioning.
• This reduces transport costs and simplifies commissioning at the customer’s site.
