ZFM profi – Rack milling machine
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The principle
The rack milling machine ZFM profi moves the machine table in the X direction (table machine). For helical racks, the milling carriage can be swiveled fully automatically by +/-30° (programmable and servo-motor driven). This allows quick and highly accurate swiveling directly as required. The encapsulation of the slide eliminates the need für prior cleaning. The optimal position for changing the cutter can thus be approached quickly and automatically as needed.
The rigidity and travel distances have been optimized and designed so that the full clamping range can be utilized even when the milling head is swiveled by ±20°. The position is monitored by the control system.
The basic machine includes a range of equipment, which allows the machine to use in high availability for the accurate production.
Standard features include:
- Partial enclosures
- Direct measuring of the axes X + Z
- Absolute modular angle measuring device with a very high resolution of the C-axis
- Chip conveyor and anti-vibration mounting elements
The fixtures can be specified (see options), but they are not included in base price.
The basic machine: precise and robust
The machine bed of the ZFM profi is a ribbed welded construction. The generously sized, high-precision flat guideways of the axes X, Y and Z are centrally lubricated.
Control: Innovative system platform
The Siemens Sinumerik ONE control system, including 19″-multitouch-panel with Sinamics drives, is used in an air-conditioned cabinet. Special user interface for milling teeth without NC programming.
BENEFITS
For helical racks, the milling carriage can be swiveled fully automatically by +/-30° (programmable and servo-motor driven). The travel ranges have been increased so that the entire clamping range can be used even with helical racks.
High Dynamic
Modern linear drive technology enables increased productivity.
High performance with low space requirements
Easy-to-use
A sophisticated user interface allows ergonomic handling and short training time.
- Specific user interface with 19″-multitouch-panel for rack milling without NC programming knowledge
Precise incremental length measuring system
