The 2-axis tilting head is the key component of the UPFZ machine series. The head works in practically any position and so offers the greatest possible usability in your production plant. Once in place, the UPFZ also machines particularly large and complex workpieces all the way round – horizontally, vertically and even diagonally. Lower set-up times drive efficiency. Powerful, reliable and simple to use – indeed, it is a real talent.

Traverse ranges:

X = 3000 mm - 10000 mm
Y = 1500 mm -   4000 mm
Z =   800 mm -   1500 mm

Main design

  • Extremely rigid, static and dynamically well balanced ground frame construction
  • Spacious and easily accessible machine tables
  • Direct measuring systems for X/Y/Z axes
  • Cover according to current machinery directives
  • Ideal for crane loading by the open covering over the work area
  • Increased stability and rigidity by means of portal in inclined bed version for the UPFZ 50
  • Optimal accessibility for all maintenance and service requirements

In addition, the UPFZ can be flexibly extended. Contact us!

 

Guideways and drives

  • Hardened precision steel slideways mounted on manually scraped or grinded surfaces
  • Optimal guiding by extremely large guidance ratio and Turcite coatings
  • High rigidity, outstanding long-term precision performance and excellent vibration absorbing capabilities of the guideways
  • Excellent resetting and adjustability of the guideways
  • Drives and guideways are protected
  • Ball screws or rack and pinion drive in all linear axes

Tool changing system

  • Extremely robust, stationary fixed tool changer
  • This enables very long chains without any restrictions of machine dynamics and precision
  • Short tool changing times by double gripping arm and due to centrally set tool transfer in X-axis
  • Fixed location coded tool management for better operator monitoring
  • Support of various tool holding systems such as SK, BT, HSK, CAPTO
  • Magazine placement possible during machining
