Composites Europe — Machine trends for composites processing

CNC-Technologie in Bestform

Reichen­bach­er Hamuel in Hall 8b, Stand G40

The pro­cess­ing of plas­tics and com­pos­ites is demand­ing and a key tech­nol­o­gy, as the diverse prod­ucts are indis­pens­able in all major indus­tries, from auto­mo­tive to aero­space. In Hall 8b at Stand G40, Reichen­bach­er Hamuel will be pre­sent­ing inno­v­a­tive machine tech­nol­o­gy for the eco­nom­i­cal pro­cess­ing of these materials.

Milling, grind­ing or pol­ish­ing: Real­is­tic 5‑axis machin­ing process­es will be demon­strat­ed live at Com­pos­ite Europe on the ECO-LT CNC machin­ing cen­tre using orig­i­nal com­po­nents and at orig­i­nal speed. In addi­tion to a spe­cial gim­bal-mount­ed 5‑axis work­ing unit and oth­er tech­ni­cal high­lights, this sys­tem will also fea­ture a unique table solu­tion in Düs­sel­dorf. For the first time, the inno­v­a­tive freeze clamp­ing tech­nol­o­gy, which is used to clamp work­pieces made of extreme­ly dif­fi­cult mate­ri­als with ice, can be seen live at a trade fair. With the help of a com­po­nent made of hon­ey­comb struc­ture mate­r­i­al, it will be demon­strat­ed how the advan­tages of this clamp­ing solu­tion clear­ly sur­pass con­ven­tion­al techniques.

With the CNC machin­ing cen­tre ECO-LT, a proven series has been adapt­ed in a con­tem­po­rary way to the require­ment pro­files of the users. Vari­ety of vari­ants, fast call-off and max­i­mum flex­i­bil­i­ty are just some of the chal­lenges faced by man­u­fac­tur­ers of com­po­nents made of plas­tic and com­pos­ite mate­ri­als. Designed in a low-vibra­tion por­tal frame con­struc­tion, the ful­ly enclosed ECO-LT is equipped with a fixed machin­ing table. This not only allows ful­ly auto­mat­ic rout­ing, shap­ing and pro­file milling; high-qual­i­ty grind­ing and pol­ish­ing process­es are also pos­si­ble. With max­i­mum feed rates and con­sis­tent­ly high machin­ing qual­i­ty, a high lev­el of pro­duc­tiv­i­ty is thus guaranteed.
