New Option for Integral Components and Blades



DECKEL MAHO Seebach has developed a special working area configuration for the DMF 260-7 machine that features two rotary tables facing each other between which a blade, for example, can be machined.

DMG / Mori Seiki has expanded its DMF series of traveling column machining centers to include a version specially designed for the 5-axis machining of integral components and blades.

The core elements of the DMF series are the stable machine bed with its vibration damping mineral cast construction and the thermo-symmetrical traveling column.

Integration of an NC rotary table and swivel milling head as a controlled B-axis enables efficient 5-axis machining with long travel ranges of at least 700 mm in the Y and Z axes. The large exponents of the series achieve travel ranges of 1,100 mm in the Y-axis and 900 mm in the Z-axis. The DMF 180 has a travel range of 1,800 mm in the X-axis and the DMF 260 and DMF 360 offer 2,600 mm / 3,600 mm.

Due to a traveling magazine - with 30 tool pockets in the standard version and 60 or 120 as an option - chip-to-chip times have been reduced to less than eight seconds and the company reported that it has been possible to increase the chip removal volumes by up to 15%.

The standard versions feature rapid traverses of 40 m/min. An optional dynamic package is now available in which the ball screw spindle drive in the X-axis has been replaced by a linear drive so that rapid traverse speeds of 80 m/min can be achieved in all axes. Chip-to-chip times are further reduced to less than six seconds.

The modular spindle options start with a standard 8,000 RPM milling spindle. More powerful options that are available (also as B-axis) include the 14,000 or 18,000 RPM SK40 / HSK A63 spindles and the 10,000 RPM SK50 / HSK-A100 spindles.

In the case of the two larger DMF 260 and DMF 360 machines the option package includes not only the NC rotary table but also the possibility of installing two rotary tables. When combined with the working area partition wall this enables 5-axis pendulum machining with very short setup times. The mill-turn table is another possible configuration: this expands the range of machining applications to include turning operations with speeds of up to 1,000 RPM.

DMG / Mori Seiki also recently introduced the DMF 260-7 traveling column machining center with a working area configuration intended specially for the machining of integral components and blades. Instead of a rigid table, this model is equipped with two rotary tables facing each other between which the workpiece is clamped thus allowing simultaneous 5-axis machining over the entire length of the work area. Highlights of this model include the large workpiece swing range with a diameter of 575 mm, distance between centers of 2,600 mm and enhanced chip flow.
