Fixed table VMC has 5-axis spindle head
Fixed table vertical machining centre with a 5-axis spindle head performs full 5-sided machining making it an ideal choice for aerospace, precision machining and die and mould applications
The new FTV5 range, first shown at MACH 2006, is based on the Fixed Table (FTV) machining centre with a travelling column, the FTV5-1800 incorporates a 5-axis spindle head for full 5-sided machining. It is available in three X-axis range designations - 1800, 2500 and 3700mm, making it the ideal choice for aerospace, precision machining and die and mould applications.
The FTV5 with its integral HSK-63A spindle was presented at MACH with the Heidenhain iTNC 530 CNC and demonstrated the machining of a variety of materials from aluminium to hard steels, in 3-, 4- and full, simultaneous 5-axis modes.
The fixed table and extensive working envelope with Y-axis range up to 1005mm can incorporate heavy loads up to 10,000kg, ideal for machining heavy dies and large aerospace parts.
The FTV5 and FTV ranges of fixed table vertical machining centres are designed, manufactured and assembled at Cincinnati facility in Birmingham, UK.
