The basic equipment of our CNC trimming machines includes the following elements:

·         Control system Siemens SINUMERIK 840 D

In connection with the digital frequency inverter SIMODRIVE 611, complemented by the new automated system SIMATIC S7, the SINUMERIK 840 D represents a complete digital system which has been developed for even the most complex processing applications and distinguishes itself through high precision repeatability and fastest possible speeds.

·         Safety

1.       "Safety integrated": Safety function with active sperator machine protection tested according to machine build guide lines. No switches or keys need to be operated during setting up operation.

2.       These machines has been tested and accepted in respect of the European safety Standard Ref.Nr. prEN 848-3:1994.

3.       All of our machines are certified to CE standards.

·         The machines are equipped with a GEISS spindle which has proven its reliability  over many years. Both ends of the axes protrude which permits independent operation with two different tools. The spindle power is 6kW, the tool is clamped in an ER16 collect chuck. The spindle runs on sealed ceramic bearings which are lubricated for life. This spindle carries guarantee of 1000 operating hours against wear and tear – excluding operator errors. The speeds are freely programmable up to 30.000 rpm via CNC program. Attention: This machine requires an external cooling unit. 

·         Complete vacuum equipment consisting of a vacuum pump 100 m³/h with vacuum valve, release valve and a pressure switch.

·         Closed safety enclosure with secured and locked sliding doors and PET windows.

        ·         Manual lubrication depending on distance driven.
 
        ·         Special GEISS sub-routines:

                               1.       circular cut out in any plane

2.       elliptical cut out for programmes which are written at older machines.

·         Look-ahead-function for automatic recognition of weak areas in the milling contour and matching of feed over several CNC blocks.

·         The standard machine colour is light-grey RAL 7035 with important machine parts being painted in light red-orange RAL 2008, doors colour is zinc-yellow RAL 1018.
