Optical measurement system

CORE D is a 5-axis, optical coordinate measuring machine (CMM) system for measuring small- to medium-sized parts with polished, reflective surfaces and sharp edges, such as turbine blades.

A double-eye sensor ensures good point accessibility and collects reliable data with the light beam axis up to 85° to the surface normal.

The updated CORE D has an automatic cover which closes during the measurement cycle, ensuring perfect optical, thermal, and clean conditions. The unit is shop-hardened, designed to be robot loaded, and occupies a small footprint. It can be calibrated to ISO standards just like a CMM.

Mill for composite material

MonsterMill FRP solid carbide milling cutter features a special diamond coating for machining carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP), offering optimum process security, cutting quality, and performance.

Fine chip breakers enhance quiet running and component quality. Large grooves safely clear away dust that may develop, permitting an optimal process temperature to prevent damage such as smearing on the cutting edge. The diamond coating ensures long tool life despite the high abrasiveness of carbon-fiber reinforced plastics. The left-hand helix version offers a push cut for reducing delamination on the top side; the right-hand helix offers a pulling cut for reducing delamination on the underside; the version without a helix produces a neutral cut. Four end cutting edges provide the option of pocket milling by means of angled or circular ramping.

Double-column machining center

The MCR-BV double-column machining center (DCMC) for 5-face machining, 5-axis contouring, and 5-sided heavy milling offers precision large-part machining in an expanded work envelope. A high torque, high output integral motor and spindle shorten cycle times. The rigid table, 30% thicker than previous models, withstands high cutting forces and the weight of large workpieces. A broad range of attachment heads are compatible with the machine, allowing creation of numerous part shapes and performing many multitasking machining functions.

Additional features include a fast automatic tool changer (ATC) and a smaller, faster auto attachment changer (AAC) which increase productivity while performing heavy cutting or high-accuracy finishing.

Available models include the MCR-BV 25, MCR-BV 30, and MCR-BV 35.
