Willemin-Macodel, has just presented two new machines at EMO. Full direct drive technology on a 5-axes machine – a world premiere – makes the 508MTLinear the most advanced machining solution on the market. The other world premiere is the latest upgrade to the 408MT, which becomes the first compact 5-axes machining center equipped with a turning turret, pushing the boundary between machining involving milling and turning.
The 508MTLinear multi-process machining center, which allows bar milling and turning, is the first machine on the market to feature Full Direct Drive technology on all its working axes.
Advanced features This full direct drive technology combines three linear motors and two torque motors on the rotary axes. This design offers highly dynamic control and guarantees equal performance on all axes – thereby avoiding the presence of weak elements in the drive chain. Thermal stabilisation (control of all heat sources) ensures the processes are extremely robust, in particular for machining of parts in small production runs, or even of individual parts. The vertical axis is completely controlled by compensating for its own weight and by a combined electrical/mechanical braking system in the case of emergency shutdown.
A solution like no other These decisive innovations complete the features already available on Willemin-Macodel machines: high-performance spindle with integrated motor at 42,000 rpm, large capacity tool magazine, tool changeover time 0.8 seconds, plus flexible and modular automation functions. The full range of technology presented at EMO makes the 508MTLinear the most advanced machining solution on the market.
