Fun with five axes. (In Gear).Who: Mazak Corporation (Florence, KY) What: Variaxis 500 Vertical Machining Center Why you should care: The Variaxis 500 has the full 5-axis capability to produce complex 3D or multiple-faced parts in a single setup--saving the time and cost associated with multiple setups while increasing quality. Pertinent Data: The Variaxis 500 can machine the top, four sides, inclined faces and slanted holes of a workpiece Noun 1. workpiece - work consisting of a piece of metal being machined piece of work, work - a product produced or accomplished through the effort or activity or agency of a person or thing; "it is not regarded as one of his more memorable works"; "the symphony was as well as perform full 5-axis contouring. It has a 19.7" x 15.7" rotary table A rotary table is a precision work positioning device used in metalworking.

A 30-HP motor drives the spindle spindle: see spinning. A rotating shaft in a disk drive. In a fixed disk, the platters are attached to the spindle. In a removable disk, the spindle remains in the drive. Laptops use spindle designations to indicate the number of built-in drives. at a maximum of 12,000 RPM. And tool-to-tool change time is 0.9 seconds. The high-speed traverse and cutting rates are 1969 IPM (1) (Impressions Per Minute) Generally refers to document scanners that scan both sides of the page at the same time. Thus, a scanner that scans at 100 ppm (pages per minute) can provide 200 ipm. See ppm and document scanner. , and the X- and V-axis travel is 20" with the Z-axis at 18". The control system is a Fanuc 161 and the Mazatrol 640 Fusion control with conversational programming is available. More Info: Enter 2. |
