Machine Design

  • The innovative machine base design features a low center of gravity for excellent rigidity, allowing high-precision machining of workpieces with weights up to 1200 kg
  • With extensive experience and modern FEM analysis tools for the simulation of countless load conditions, it was possible to guarantee superior stability of the machine frame in real-world applications
  • One development goal was to achieve a space-saving, compact design
  • Linear roller guides on all axes provide high load capacities, maximum rigidity and smooth motion ensuring the high dynamics needed to optimally handle high loads
  • Powerful servo-drives connect directly to large preloaded ball screws providing zero-loss high torque transmission

Main spindle

  • Main spindle runs on multiple bearings to ensure excellent absorption and dissipation of forces during machining
  • The advanced design of our spindles ensure low heat accumulation under load
  • Large pre-loaded bearings ensure radial stability during heavy-duty machining operations
  • High-temperature lubricants ensure optimum lubrication at any operating temperature and a long tool life
  • Clamping the tool between contact surfaces at the taper and workpiece flange ensures maximum hold of the tool in the spindle

Tool Changer

  • The VECTOR is equipped with the best tool changer to allow full utilization of the machining center’s capacity
  • With only 1.8 seconds tool changing time, the dual-arm gripper also is one of the fastest tool changers on the market

Handling

  • The totally enclosed workspace features a large door and side doors for easy access, safety and cleanliness
  • Electrical equipment is divided into separate control cabinets for high and low voltage systems, which results in a significant reduction of heat accumulation and noise
  • An electronic hand-wheel simplifies machine set-up
  • The automatic central lubrication system ensures proper lubrication of all lube points

TNC 620 - Compact motion control for milling machines and drill presses

The compact TNC 620 is very versatile and accommodates up to five controlled axes. The flexible control concept with workshop-oriented programmability via HEIDENHAIN plain text dialogs, the possibility of external programming, its capacity and specifications make it ideal for use in universal milling machine and drill press applications, such as:

  • Single part and series production
  • Toolmaking
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Research and development
  • Prototype construction and testing
  • Repair shops and training facilities

Plus, it features all necessary and additional helpful functions for:

Universal Milling Machines

  • Free contour programming
  • Milling cycles for complex contours
  • Quick referencing via HEIDENHAIN scanning systems

Drill Presses

  • Cycles for drilling and reaming
  • Cycles for dot patterns on circles and lines

Five-axis machining with swivel head and rotary table

  • External, machine-independent programming – the TNC 620 automatically considers the machine’s geometry
  • Swiveling work surface
  • Machining of cylindrical surfaces
  • 3D tool correction
  • Quick completion due to short block processing times
