The SHW UniSpeed 5 traveling column machining center can complete many parts in a single setup with five-sided machining. A universal CNC machining center with turning capabilities, the machine is designed for precision applications in the aerospace, petroleum, moldmaking, subcontracting, and other fields.
With a work envelope of 63" x 63" x 47", speed, and five-sided machining and turning capabilities, the UniSpeed 5 offers versatility and value because of its ability to greatly reduce in-process times.
The machine features the SHW universal spindle head, offering five-sided machining with 64,800 programmable spindle orientations. Also capable of high-speed machining, the UniSpeed 5 features a milling spindle with 35hp drive, spindle s peeds up to 6,000rpm or, if equipped with a high frequency spindle, up to 30,000rpm. The UniSpeed positions rapidly with rapid traverse of 98fpm and 2g acceleration.
No foundation is required for this rigid bridge-type design, which makes use of highlystable mineral castings. Travel of the machine column is 78" (X-axis); turning table diameter is 63" with table load capacity to 13,200 lb; and table speed for turning operations is up to 250rpm. The automatic tool-changing system includes up to 90 tools for fully automatic production. Pallet changer is optional.
