Delivering speed, torque and capacity

The HyperMach H-series profiler enables high output machining of large monolithic aluminum or titanium aerospace parts. The H-series horizontal machining centers offer a wide choice of spindle speeds and torques. The HyperMach GTi, matches material requirements for high-speed machining of aluminum and high-torque titanium cutting. The HyperMach Ti features wide-range capabilities with increased stiffness and a high-torque motorized spindle for applications that require machining both aluminum and titanium.

The 5-axis HyperMach H-Series turns the typical profiler concept on its side in a fixed-column, traveling table arrangement available in 2m x 4m, 5m, 6m, 7m, or 8m. A moving column configuration is available to handle single or nested parts up to 2m x 20m. All HyperMach H-series machines are available with optional 3m wide pallets, increasing the Y-axis travel to 3,200mm (126") for machining of larger parts such as wing ribs, spars, bulkheads, and fuselage frames.

The H-series features a standard high-speed 30,000rpm/60kW/29Nm spindle for the machining of aluminum, while an optional 20,000rpm/85kW/85Nm spindle is also available. The GTi model uses an HSK100A 6,000rpm/52kW/854Nm high-torque geared spindle to machine titanium and other hard metals, while the new HyperMach Ti wide-range model handles applications that require machining both aluminum and titanium with a hearty 12,000rpm/60kW/250Nm spindle. The Ti delivers a combination of moderate speed while increasing power to enhance cutting performance to machine a broader range of materials for manufacturing flexibility. 

All HyperMach H-Series machines feature a full-portal, open-center design, allowing chips to fall through to a high-volume conveyor, avoiding chip re-cutting and the need for an attendant. This further improves productivity by reducing labor and parasitic time to keep the machine clean. Programmable, variable high-pressure through-spindle, and an external coolant system, are standard features on the GTi version. Pallet load may be from either side, allowing configuration of the chip conveyor to discharge in either direction. Installation is on a flat floor, which reduces the cost and time required for installation by avoiding the need for pits and expensive multi-step foundations, also making future reconfiguration of the plant layout easy. Combined with MAG’s Cincron cell automation modules, the H-series design allows virtually an infinite number of material handling and cell configurations for extremely flexible multi-machine and multi-pallet part manufacturing.

Covered by four patents, the HyperMach machine design includes one for the rigid four-point lockup between the column and table base, providing consistent stiffness and improved accuracy throughout the workzone. A second patent covers the flight deck ergonomics of the operator station. Its layout permits visual monitoring of the machine’s HMI, the workzone, the toolchange process, tool in the ready position, the tool magazine itself, and utilities panel, as well as immediate physical access to the workzone. A third patent covers maintenance and reliability issues – motors and drives are on the exterior of the machine, away from workzone contamination, and critical drive components, such as ways, bearings, ballscrews, and feedback scales, can be accessed and serviced from the exterior of the machine. A fourth patent covers the pallet handling system, which allows a pallet to be loaded from either or both sides of the machine without any modification to the system, permitting a wide variety of work handling configurations without modification to the machine.
