High Productivity

Tool change time has been greatly reduced to achieve high productivity.

The cycle time

The cycle time for mass production workpiece machining program is compared to that of the #40 Machining Center (M/C).

Major machining details
・φ5.1 drilling x 12
・M6 tapping x 12
・Spot facing x 7
・Boring x 2
・No. of tools used : 9

* Data taken by running machining program created by Brother

New magazine

New magazine turning mechanism( driven by AC servomotor)

The turning mechanism has been redesigned to greatly reduce the tool change time. The magazine is servomotor driven to achieve smooth turning.

During period of time after the spindle stops, ATC is performed until the spindle returns to 10,000 min-1( From the table center position for X/Y axes)

The high acceleration/deceleration spindle motor used enables the spindle to start or stop in short time. Tool change can be completed without stopping the Z-axis.

* The data varies depending on the position of the spindle( Z-axis) and program details.

Cutting Performance

The shape of the structure and arrangement of ribs have been optimized to improve machine rigidity.
As a result of various modifications, stable cutting is ensured.

Improved machine rigidity

Improved machine rigidity

The machine needs to be rigid to ensure high cutting ability. The shape of the base and column, and the arrangement of the ribs have been optimized through CAE analysis.
The improvement of various internal sections has achieved stable cutting performance that does not depend on the spindle speed.boring

BT dual contact system is available.

Tool rigidity has improved, leading to less vibration and tool tilt, which further improves machining performance.

Environmental Measures

CO2 emissions have decreased by reducing power and air consumption.
The machine is equipped with various energy-saving functions, contributing to the preservation of the global environment.

Comparison of air consumption

Comparison of air consumption

The structure of the spindle covering has been enhanced to reduce air purge. Air blast operations have also been reviewed to optimize the air discharge timing. These improvements have greatly reduced air consumption.

CO2 emissions

Energy-saving effects resulting from the reduction of power and air consumption can be calculated in terms of CO2 emissions.

* The data is calculated assuming that the same quantity of workpieces (approx. 50,000 pcs.) are produced based on the above power and air consumption. The data varies depending on machining conditions, machining program, etc.

* For air consumption, power consumption of the compressor is calculated in terms of CO2 emissions.

Reliability

Non-visible sections have also been modified to improve reliability, attaining higher levels of customer satisfaction.

New magazine turning mechanism

New magazine turning mechanism

A servomotor is used to accelerate or decelerate smoothly when turning. Less backlash occurs and a highly rigid structure is used. Change to mechanical structure has greatly reduced the number of parts.

Safety measures

The number of emergency stop and door limit switch circuits has been doubled to improve safety. The number of servo relay circuits has also been doubled and the interlock circuit was reviewed.

Tool washing(optional)

Tool washing(Air assist type) (optional)

Discharge pressure and flow has been increased to efficiently remove chips attached to the holder.
A filter clog warning function has been added.

Usability

Usability has been enhanced to minimize incorrect operations or entries.
Various user-friendly functions have been prepared to make operation much easier.

Access rights according to user

Access rights according to user

Accessible areas of machine operation can be restricted by a combination of input signals. This prevents incorrect entries by operators that do not have sufficient machine knowledge.

* External switch or similar is necessary to apply input
