MACH 2018 will mark the UK launch of the new DA300 5-axis, trunnion-type, vertical-spindle machining centre from Japanese machine tool builder, Makino, which is represented exclusively in the UK and Ireland by NCMT Ltd

 

The configuration at the show on stand H19-640 will include a Cellro robotic system from Holland for automatically loading and unloading components. The compact machine is ideal for 5-sided and fully interpolative 5-axis production of complex components in one clamping. A rigid structure combines with high dynamic motion control to reduce cycle times significantly while maintaining accurate performance.  

On show will also be the EDAF2 sinker EDM machine, which features a rigid, precise structure and integral thermal cooling of the Y- and Z-axis cast components to ensure long-term accuracy. Free access to the working area is due to a programmable, three-sided drop-tank system. Unattended machining is extended by automatic electrode exchange and automated workpiece delivery and removal options. Fluid cooling maintains the dielectric at a constant temperature for stable burning conditions. A high precision C-axis head is an additional feature and electrodes weighing up to 50 kg may be used.
The machine uses Makino’s latest Hyper-i control system with an interface similar to that found on tablets and smartphones.
