5-axis Desktop CNC Milling Machine with a 50,000 RPM Spindle! – The Pocket NC V2-50

The Pocket NC V2-50, a 5-axis desktop CNC milling machine with a 50,000 RPM spindle and a 2 micron TIR quick change spindle. The V2-50 sports a precision ground Japanese spindle, hybrid ceramic bearings and Swiss electronics to achieve material removal rates unmatched by standard milling equipment. They have also partnered with DATRON, a German manufacturer of world class vertical and horizontal machining centers in an effort to provide tooling that compliments the incredible speed provided by the NSK spindle.

From Pocket NC:

At Pocket NC are all about the world of small: small parts, small tooling and with the V2-50, runtimes can be small as well. Those of you in manufacturing already know material removal rate is critical. To make parts quickly, chip load is key. The faster stock material is removed, the more cost-effective a part becomes. The benefits of increasing the material removal rates do not change for small parts, but the amount of pressure we can apply to small tooling compared to large tooling does change. Spikes in tool pressure, even minor ones, often result in broken tooling and because of this small tools are run at lower feed rates and with less chip load which results in expensive, time-consuming parts.

High spindle RPM changes the game. Standard machining centers are usually equipped with spindles operating in the 6K-15K RPM range. While these machines may be much larger and more rigid than the V2, the tooling used to make a small part is no different. A given endmill is only capable of removing so much material per cut. By increasing the spindle speed 5x over the V2-10 and most other milling machines, users can achieve runtimes up to 75% shorter and see a significant improvement in small tooling life.

To see all of the above action on the V2-50 check out what Ed Kramer has been up to on the V2-50 machine in his shop over the last couple of months. Anyone who knows Ed knows that he likes to cut hard materials and push his machines to their limits, exactly who we were looking for to find out what this machine could handle.

Some of you may recognize this as the spindle we used on our original machines. This is true, however the original Pocket NC just wasn’t ready for the NRR-2651. The motor and electronics on the V1 only allowed the spindle to reach speeds of 10,000 RPM, the V2-50 spindle is accompanied by a motor and electronics that support the 50,000 RPM. Another hurdle for V1 users with the NRR-2651 was that even though the lever offered a quick tool change, tool length measurement was anything but quick. With the addition of the tool probe on the V2, V2-50 users will be able to use the quick change lever to easily swap tools and the tool probe will help to keep the workflow moving.

The V2-50 is released for pre-orders which will start shipping in May and June 2019. We are only taking a limited number of pre-orders and will fully release this product in Summer 2019. We will have pre-orders available until we run out! For more information on the V2-50, please see specifications here. Information on upgrades and other FAQ can be found here.

We’ve run this spindle through the paces with tougher materials than ever before (G5 titanium!) and we can truly say, we are impressed and think you will be too!

5Axis Machine Cutting HELMET / DAISHIN SEIKI CORPORATION

5,000,000回分の感謝！
2008年、私たちは5軸加工機の導入をきっかけに5軸加工の限界に挑戦しようと動き始めた。5軸加工機はクランプ個所以外が全て加工出来るので、ほぼ球体が加工出来る事になる。
マシンのφ500mmテーブル上で出来る球体に近いサンプルとして辿り着いた答えが、「１/１ヘルメット」プロジェクトだった。究極の5軸加工サンプルを作るためには、当たり前だが機械はプログラム通り精度よく削れる事だ。
しかし当時の5軸機はまだまだ発展途上が多い中でそれを実現させてくれたドイツ製のDMGのマシンだった。
そして優秀なマシンに指令を出すCAMシステムは限界に挑戦するエンジニアスピリッツを後押ししてくれるCAMシステムが不可欠だった。
オープンマインド社、hyperMILLの存在は今では私たちの5軸加工に無くてはならない存在だが、10年以上前から独自のアルゴリズムに圧倒的な干渉回避能力と、操作性が良い上に使い込むと本当に奥が深い。私たちの技術探求への熱い想いをHyperMILLは間違いなく加速させてくれました。
この度500万回再生という機械加工動画としては圧倒的な数字は、大槇精機エンジニア達とDMGMORIとhyperMILLのコラボが生み出した技術の証明だと思います。
2009年に作られた「1/1ヘルメット」と動画は、当時の学びと努力の結晶が色あせることなく5軸加工の象徴として輝き続けている事を本当に有難く思います。
10年以上の月日と共に私たちも成長し、重要なパートナーであるDMGMORIとhyperMILLも進化し続けています。「モノづくり」の世界は加速度的に変化をしていますが、もはやファミリーとも言える関係は変わることなく未来へ歩み続けます。
改めて、この動画を見てくれた世界中の方に感謝を申し上げます。
ありがとう御座いました。これからも宜しくお願いします。

Thank you for 5,000,000 views!
In 2008, we started to push the limits of 5-axis machining with the introduction of a 5-axis machine. 5-axis machines can machine everything except the clamping points, which means that they can machine almost any sphere.
The answer to this question was the “1/1 helmet” project, which was the answer to the question of what kind of spherical sample could be produced on the φ500mm table of the machine. In order to make the ultimate 5-axis machining sample, the machine must be able to cut accurately according to the program, as a matter of course. In order to make the ultimate 5-axis machining sample, it was obvious that the machine had to be the one that would be used for the machining of the helmet, but at the time, many 5-axis machines were still in their infancy, and it was the German-made DMG machine that made it possible.
It was essential to have a CAM system that would encourage the spirit of engineers to challenge the limits.
OpenMind and hyperMILL are now indispensable to our 5-axis machining, but for more than 10 years they have been providing us with unique algorithms, overwhelming interference avoidance capabilities, and ease of use that is truly profound once you get into it. HyperMILL has definitely accelerated our passion for technological exploration. The overwhelming number of 5 million views for a machining video is proof of the technology created by the collaboration of Daishin Seiki engineers, DMGMORI, and hyperMILL. I am truly grateful that the “1/1 helmet” and the video created in 2009, the fruit of our learning and efforts at that time, have not faded and continue to shine as a symbol of 5-axis machining. As we have grown over the past 10 years, our key partners, DMGMORI and hyperMILL, have also continued to evolve. “The world of manufacturing is changing at an accelerated pace, but the relationship that can now be called a family will not change and will continue into the future.
Once again, I would like to thank everyone around the world who has watched this video.
Thank you very much. Thank you for your continued support.
Daishin Seiki Co. Ryosuke Omachi, President and Representative Director
