Base, Column and Saddle:
The base, column, and saddle are composed of Meehanite cast iron, which includes very high dampening characteristics. Spacing of the solid box ways ensure optimal support for the table and saddle in full travel of each axis. Heavily ribbed castings provide superior dampening for high speed machining and aggressive milling. The 73"x 24" machine table is fully ground.
Way Surfaces:
The Y & Z?axis are hardened and ground square box ways with Turcite on all axes. The ways are spaced to eliminate table pitch and deformation. The way surfaces on all three axes utilize gibs with easy adjustment to maximize rigidity and maintain geometry throughout the life of the machine tool.
Spindle:
The 8,000 rpm spindle is standard CT40. The permanently greased spindle bearings require no maintenance. The four 70 mm spindle bearings provide superior rigidity. The 8,000 rpm is driven by a 20/15 HP (15/11 kW) AC induction motor. Rigid tapping is standard. Spindle air purge keeps the spindle bearings free of foreign contamination.
Ball Screws & Axis Drives: Each axis is driven using a high precision, fully ground ball screw. Axis ball screws are supported on each end using angular contact thrust bearings and are perfectly centered between the way surfaces. The axis ball screws are belt driven with AC servo type drive motors.
Automatic Tool Changer: A 24 pocket, bi?directional, carousel ATC is standard. It will accept tools up to 3.46" (88 mm) or 6.89" (175 mm) with adjacent sides empty. The V flange is standard CAT40 and BT40 tooling is optional.
