5ME and strategic partner Doosan Machine Tools started IMTS 2018 with the sale of a Doosan horizontal machining center (HMC) equipped with 5ME Cryogenics sold by Doosan distributor Machine Tool Specialties.
The Doosan NHP-6300, 4-axis HMC will process titanium 6Al4V components in Milling Precision Tool Corp's Wichita, KS, facility. Machining with the 5ME Cryogenics equipped HMC increased productivity by 30% compared to traditional coolant machining.
"This is what IMTS is all about - coming together to develop and deliver the best manufacturing technology," said Bill Horwarth, President, 5ME. "Our partnerships make the evolution to cryogenic machining possible, from machine tool, to our patented internal liquid nitrogen (LN2) machining technology, to cryogenic tooling," said Bill Horwarth, President, 5ME. "We have a total cryogenic solution ready for the shop floor. This is the first 5ME Cryogenics enabled machine tool sold into the Aerospace Capital of Wichita, KS, and we see big opportunities for cryogenic machining in that region."
The Doosan NHP-6300 HMC has X-Y-Z travel of 41.3' X 35.4' x 39.4", a 24.8" pallet and a feedrate of 1,986 IPM. The CAT50 BigPlus spindle is 60 HP, 10,000 RPM with 443 ft-lbs. torque.
"Our machine tools are built for massive metal removal, and with the increased productivity from 5ME Cryogenics, our machines are set for maximized profitability," said Jim Shiner, Director of Marketing and Sales for Doosan Machine Tool. "The 5ME Cryogenics option really optimizes the machining performance of hard-to-machine materials, like titanium."
Milling Precision Tool Corp also saw an increase in part quality with a much smaller environmental footprint. "We are working to differentiate ourselves and better support the supply chain in Wichita, KS," said Mike Craig, Co-owner Milling Precision Tool. "We are excited to be the first business in the Wichita market with cryogenic capability."
