O&H Millac1052V
Offers Vertical Machine Users Versatility
The Okuma & Howa Millac 1052V
vertical machining center offers a solution to shops wanting heavy-duty cutting
capacity for large parts such as dies and molds and still expect to produce good
results when finishing. The traditional solution was to have one machine
dedicated to roughing and one reserved for finishing. According to the company,
the 1052V, can do both. The heavy-duty box way construction is designed to
absorb high cutting forces. The Z-axis head is supported via a counter balance
system centrally located on the head to provide maximum response of the spindle
for faster, finer control of the tool.
Heavy Cutting in a 41" Y-Axis
Machine
The 41.7" Y-axis of the 1052V (43.3
from spindle center to column) can fit large parts under the spindle. The wide
spacing of the boxed ways supports the spindle during high cutting forces. Table
travel is 80.7" in X (120" option) and 31.5" in Z, maximum table load is 11,000
lbs., spindle speeds are 6,000 RPM (30HP) with geared head and 10,000 RPM (25HP)
integral motor as option. CAT 50 spindle and 36-station tool changer are
standard with 'Big Plus' Dual Contact Spindle as option. Rapid traverse is 630
ipm and max cutting speed is 394 ipm.
Dual Purpose Machine
The 1052V can handle both heavy and
fine cutting duties with the right options. "The 10,000 RPM spindle and the High
Precision Contour Control software are recommended for those customers seeking a
dual purpose machine," said a company spokesperson. "These options allow this
machine to do an excellent job of first roughing out the work in the shortest
amount of time, and then finishing the part in fine detail and high accuracy."
Some additional standard features
include the Fanuc 16i-M Series control, all Fanuc motors and drives, 158 gallon
coolant tank, high volume chip flushing, table mounted chip auger, large
capacity spindle oil temperature control unit, spindle air curtain to keep out
contaminants from the spindle bearing, rigid tapping and an automatic
lubrication system.
Applications include any large molds
or dies, automotive, construction, or any part requiring heavy duty milling or
drilling.
