ICON 6-250 combines flexible machining center principles with Hydromat's rotary transfer production philosophy while incorporating engineering excellence with the finest materials and components. The results: a machining center of robust construction and extreme accuracy for production runs with rapid cycle times.
The ICON's part sizes range from a 2" cube, to an 8"cube and feature up to eight tools in the cut at once. These four cutting stations produce five-sided machining with four-axis interpolation. Each machining unit is equipped with its own 10-tool changer that is equipped for specific applications. A Fanuc CNC controller has been incorporated as standard equipment on all ICON 6-250 machining centers.
A six-position pallet changing table quickly transports the 300mm work holding pallets to the index drives at each cutting position, or to two other stations. The ICON's loading station is designed for manual or robotic production configurations, and an idle station has been incorporated for re-clamping or gaging processes. Engineered for maximum output in a small footprint, all of these features are enveloped by a heavy-duty, self-supporting machine base and frame weldment that is extremely rigid and requires no special foundation.
