GF AgieCharmilles' Latest Innovation Offers High Dynamic Milling
HPM 1200 HD's stable, robust construction enables unlimited high performance cutting
Lincolnshire, Illinois, - GF AgieCharmilles' HPM 1200 HD is a dynamic, three axis machining center that offers high performance milling and spindle speeds up to 20,000 RPM. The new machining center's high dynamics combined with StepTec's superior spindle technology allow it to deliver high quality 3-D surfacing results and exceptional chip removal rates. This vector controlled in-line motor spindle permits full torque even in the low speed range.
The HPM 1200 HD features a polymer concrete, cube-shaped machine base to provide high performance, high precision cutting of materials like alloyed steels and aluminum. The machining center also ensures automatic production with the integration of a cost-effective pallet changer that increases flexibility and efficiency by allowing repetitive machining without interruption.
GF AgieCharmilles equipped the HPM 1200 HD with heavily ribbed, cast iron worktable is designed with axially arranged T-slots to ensure simple, manual loading of diverse workpieces. HPM 1200 HD also features a dual drive in the Y-axis for increased stability. Additional features include two light, waist-high doors that provide free access to the working area, as well as scratchproof windows that allow a clear view of the machining area.
The HPM 1200 HD also includes a 60-position integrated tool magazine and a double arm gripper that allows short-tool changes in just 2 seconds. Operators also benefit from the inclusion of the latest generation Heidenhain iTNC 530 digital control system, which offers an Ethernet connection for fast CAM data flow, free contour and parallel programming, advanced high-speed functions and an optional mobile hand wheel that brings you close to the cutting point if required.
