„AVIA” VMX-30 – A VERTICAL MACHINING CENTRE

The „AVIA” VMX-30 vertical machining centre with Heidenhain TNC-426 control has options for dialogue programming and graphic program simulation. The machining centre is operated by an AlphaCAM software.

The technical specification of a numerically controlled machine tool is the following:
  • Dimensions of work table - 1020mm x 510 mm,
  • Maximum weight of machined workpiece - 750 kg,
  • Tool holders - SK 40,
  • Traverse: „X” axis - 760 mm, „Y” axis - 510 mm, „Z” axis - 610 mm,
  • Positioning accuracy - +/- 0,01 mm,
  • Positioning repeatability - +/- 0,005 mm,
  • Maximum spindle rotations - 9000 rev/min.

The machine tool operates with a Heidenhein TS 220 measuring probe and a Heidenhain TT120 tool probe. It is used in both piece production (the manufacture of prototypes) and large lot production. Rich tooling enables manufacture of various instruments, blanking tools, dies and gauges for foundry moulds, as well as milling operations carried out on workpieces of all types.

The individual steps of AlphaCAM program operation involve:
  • • import of 3D/2D objects from any CAD program to AlphaCAM program – files of the type: Parasolid, Solid Edge, Solid Works, Unigraphics, *.stl, Ruino, DXF, DWG, IGES, STEP, Pro/E, Inventor, ACIS,
  • selecting manufacturing field and tools,
  • selecting machining parameters,
  • surface machining in 3D system,
  • machining of 3D solids,
  • machining in 2 and 2,5 D systems,
  • simulation of machining,
  • surface verification,
  • export of the ready program to machine tool.
