K3X 8 Five: Very high performance 5-axis machining centres

As the table on this new generation “8 Five” is inclined in a 55° plane (instead of 45°), negative machining angles of up to -20° can be reached. Consequently, the angle of the spindle axis in relation to the table ranges from 0 to 110° compared with 90° for the previous generation.

This range of very high performance machines is suited to roughing and finishing work in five simultaneous axes and on five faces and meets all the technical and economic challenges facing engineering companies in the Aeronautics, Automotive, Medical and Energy sectors with regard to reducing process times and cutting manufacturing costs. Performance levels in roughing, finishing and precision work enable the toughest productivity targets to be met in terms of machining complex parts, such as injection moulds, aeronautical components or parts used in precision mechanics.

The architecture of the K3X 8 Five high-speed 5-axis milling centre consists of a fixed gantry and bed and a 500 mm diameter table that rotates (C-axis, 360°) and tilts (A-axis, -30°/+180°) and can take up to 250 kg. It is therefore capable of machining in five continuous axes on five faces.

The combination of dynamics and precision on this machine results in the production of very high quality surface finishes.

With its standard spindle reaching a speed of 24,000 rpm with a torque of 40 Nm for 25 kW, it has a high maximum chip-forming capacity.

This milling centre also offers the advantage of great accessibility with good visibility of the work area. Heavy workpieces can easily be lowered from above the machine thanks to the generous openings in the enclosure.
