Twin-Spindle Machine Introduced to U.S. Marketplace
December 1, 2014
German machine manufacturer LiCON mt has teamed with Hydromat to offer the Licon LiFLEX II 444. This twin-spindle machining center is designed for the processing of small- and medium-sized workpieces up to 445 mm in size.
"This machine is perfectly suited for heavy machining due to the rigid and compact design in combination with the high power/torque available," said a company spokesperson. "By expanding its product portfolio with the new LiFLEX II 444, Licon mt is consistently pursuing its strategy for 5-axis complete machining on complex workpieces in a single clamping."
The integration of a pallet changer facilitates simultaneous loading and unloading of workpieces. Options include spindle compensation for the Z-axis and broken tool detection. The zero point clamping system provides a quick changeover to other workpieces. Chip removal is optimized through suspended fixtures.
Winfried Benz, Managing Director of Licon mt, explained its market orientation: "With the LiFLEX II 444, we are able to offer companies around the world a viable alternative for machining medium-sized parts in small or medium volumes. We aim to continually optimize the process of complex workpiece machining with the goal of minimizing costs for scrap as well as additional quality controls. To this end, complete machining is an essential element. The price-performance ratio of LiFLEX II 444 makes a further contribution to ensuring that unit costs are reduced to the bare minimum."
