High Spec 500mm Pallet HMC for Under £100,000

C Dugard of Hove has been able to target its latest MH-500, a 500 mm by 500 mm twin-pallet moving column machine with 40 tool magazine and Fanuc control, to meet a price level of under £100,000.

The new machine is constructed on a one-piece Meehanite base and saddle that weighs over nine tonnes to provide a heavy duty and rigid machining platform. To this structure, heavy duty linear ways are added and set on a wide span to provide high stability while accommodating rapid traverse rates of 32 m/min in each axis of 610 mm in X and Z and 510 mm in Y while maintaining a positioning accuracy of ±0.004 mm and a repeatability of ±0.003 mm.

In a typical Dugard Eagle specification, the machine uses a long nose design of ISO 40 spindle with 10,000 revs/min available as standard from the 15 kW drive while a higher speed option of 15,000 revs/min can be ordered. Also included is 20 bar through the spindle coolant supply.

The twin 500 mm by 500 mm pallets can each be loaded up to 450 Kg and provide indexing to 0.001^o. Pallet exchange time is within eight seconds and a pallet wash is also standard.

As a standard fitment, the 40 tool chain magazine can be upgraded to 60 tools taking tooling units up to 8 kg in weight. Control is via Fanuc OiMC with Fanuc’s 18iMB system also available as an option. Rigid tapping, tool length and workpiece measurement can also be supplied by C Dugard while swarf handling and a conveyor system is standard.
