The ISO 50 universal workhead with Studer's infeed ring sensing is capable of both
live spindle grinding and grinding between centers, and has a maximum speed of 1,500 rpm.
Three headstock choices all include a
live spindle for manufacturing versatility.
Next to the column is a 20-station tool carousel that supplies tooling for the
live spindle. Explosives are held in place with a vacuum, but mechanical clamping can also be used.
The machine is equipped with five turning tools, six
live spindle tools, and four frontal drills in the main tool post.
The three-headstock choices all include a
live spindle for drilling and tapping as well as added reach for boring.
And a powerful 7.5 hp, 12,000 rpm spindle is built in the single-pocket turret (
live spindle), which rotates a total of 225[degrees] in the B-axis to machine angled features in increments of 0.001[degrees].
When
live spindle machining is performed, the automatic tool change can be used with ISO 50 (40), CAT 50, HSK 100, or Sandvik CAPTO C5.
The holder is mounted stationary, while its internal
live spindle (with the cutting broach tool) rotates with and is driven by the work piece.
And finally, the 10HP B-axis machining spindle (
live spindle) rotates a total of 225 degrees to machine angled features in increments of 0.001 degree.
The
live spindle (rotating spindle in the ram head) enables Atlas Copco to turn and machine housings and shrouds in the same setup on the one machine.
The built-in turning/boring/milling heads feature automatic dynamic counterbalancing, automatic tool change for spindle and turning tools, coolant through the spindle for turning and boring tools, and built-in spindle support bearing for
live spindle.
