Highlights:
– Powerful BBT 40 spindle with speeds up to 15.000 min-1
– Rigid machine structure with extra deep center of gravity and small footprint (L version with larger work space)
– Fanuc 0i MD control and Fanuc drives ensure a high degree of process safety
– Short tool changing times for increased productivity and spindle up-time per shift
Machine Design:
– Heavily ribbed machine frame with extra low center of gravity
– The Lupus Series features linear guides on X, Y and Z to ensure high accuracy made possible by lower friction and higher dynamics
– 40 mm preloaded ball screws combined with a digital drive package provide a rigid table guide and high torque
Spindle:
– BBT 40 spindle with dual tool clamping ensures very secure seating of clamped tools in the spindle – low vibrations result in increased surface quality
– The spindle runs on 4 bearings ensuring high surface quality and excellent absorption and dissipation of forces generated during machining
– The Lupus Series features 3 types of spindles (belt / built-in / gear) with various speeds to allow optimum customization for specific process requirements
Tool changer:
– Dual-arm tool changer with up to 30 stations ensures adequate flexibility and capacity for every day production needs (optionally with up to 40 stations)
– Short changing times (1.3 seconds tool-to-tool and 3.9 seconds chip-to-chip) increase spindle up-time and machine output
Lupus 420 / 420L / HS 500 / 520L / 650 Highlights: – Powerful BBT 40 spindle with speeds up to 15.000 min-1 – Rigid machine structure with extra deep center of gravity and small footprint (L version with larger work space) – Fanuc 0i MD control and Fanuc drives ensure a high degree of process safety – Short tool
