NAME Vertical lathe-milling hydrostatic machine.
This cell is formed by two machines. The first one is GMTK multitasking machine. Its design and configuration makes it the ideal bench test for new components, tools and accessories… This Basque country origin machine has the capacity of be implemented and also modify its components. This is a turning-milling machine with great potential in terms of integration of new systems and components. It has two lineal axes and also a rotary configurable one, which allows the capacity of milling. The machine is equipped with a robotic tool changer with up to 90 tools. The second machine is a cross slide vertical lathe. It has hydrostatic guide system in the lineal axes. Its own structure allows its use as integration platform of new concepts and processes with the possibility of modify both heads. This machine is also equipped with a monitoring system capable of extract data related to the process.
