Five-Axis Trunnion Machine Simplifies Complex Machining
One of the most time-consuming
and costly components of any machining job is the initial setup, especially for
complex parts that require machining on multiple sides. Such parts often require
multiple setups and complex fixturing, which can drive up the cost per part and
result in less accuracy.
The new VF-6TR trunnion machine from Haas Automation allows full five-axis machining of complex multi-sided parts in a single setup, thus reducing setup time and increasing accuracy. This machine is ideal for such industries as model making, tool and die and aerospace where complex shapes, multi-sided machining and five-axis work are quickly becoming the norm.
Based on the VF-6 (64"x 32"x 30" travels) VMC platform, the VF-6TR features a dual-axis trunnion table (in place of the standard T-slot table) which provides full five-axis simultaneous motion or can be used to position a workpiece to almost any angle for machining. The trunnion features travels of ±120 degrees of tilt on the A axis and a full 360 degrees of continuous rotation on the B axis. It accommodates parts with a swing up to 31" and has a 500 lb. part capacity. The trunnion's 310mm platter features six precision T-slots equally spaced at 60 degrees for easy fixturing.
Available in both 40- and 50-taper configurations, the VF-6TR comes standard with a side-mount tool changer, automatic chip auger, programmable coolant nozzle, Quick Code programming system, floppy disk drive, 1 MB of program memory and remote jog handle. Such high-productivity options as high-speed spindles, linear scales, high-speed machining with full look-ahead and several probe systems are also available.
