Flexible machining of aluminum profiles

Machine type: VHC 3-4000 XTS

Task:

Flexible machining of aluminum profiles in two working areas or, in the case of long profiles, machining in long-bed operation

Workpieces:

Various aluminium profiles

Solution:

  • Elimination of the clamping plates in the working area.
  • Instead, installation of one clamping bridge in each of the two working areas, consisting of an RTA4-520, a clamping bridge measuring 1970 x 600 x 400 mm, and a GL2 support unit.
 

Special features:

  • The clamping bridge elements are equipped with a quick-change adapter and can therefore be rapidly dismantled and replaced.
  • For flexible and fast changing of clamping devices, the clamping bridges are equipped with T-slots on two sides and zero-point clamping systems on the top side.
 

Working area:

X-traverse range: 4000 mm
Y-traverse range: 1100 mm
Z-traverse range: 1200 mm

Clamping surface:

Clamping bridges, each measuring 1870 x 600 x 400 mm

Spindle:

Power (with 40% DC): max. 40 kW
Torque (with 40% DC): max. 255 Nm
