FAQ — Our CNC compendium

From basics to industry-specific

What is a CNC machining center? 

A CNC machin­ing cen­ter is a com­put­er-con­trolled machine capa­ble of pro­cess­ing work­pieces with var­i­ous tools under dif­fer­ent para­me­ters accord­ing to pre­vi­ous­ly defined spec­i­fi­ca­tions. Mod­ern machines work with an inte­grat­ed mini­com­put­er or with an exter­nal con­trol sys­tem where the required pro­grams are cre­at­ed direct­ly via a CAD/CAM system.

What is a cardanic working head?

Car­dan­ic mounts are swiv­el mounts usu­al­ly attached to cars and oth­er vehi­cles like drones, where tripods or oth­er cam­era mounts would be inac­cept­able due to vibra­tions or oth­er unex­pect­ed movements.

In CNC milling machines, the simul­ta­ne­ous move­ment of the B and C axes caus­es the posi­tion change of the milling spin­dle. Both axes (B, C) pos­sess a pre-stressed two-stage gear dri­ve. The gear units are clear­ance-free. The pre-stress gen­er­at­ed by the spring ele­ments guar­an­tees zero clear­ance of the gear units up to the max­i­mum per­mis­si­ble wear (ser­vice life). Ser­vo­mo­tors with an inte­grat­ed absolute posi­tion mea­sur­ing sys­tem dri­ve the NC axes.

Does Reichenbacher offer its own CAD/CAM software?

Open inter­faces allow the use of the customer’s exist­ing CAD/CAM soft­ware. As an alter­na­tive, Reichen­bach­er offers opti­mum and proven solu­tions in coop­er­a­tion with expe­ri­enced soft­ware part­ners (from the respec­tive indus­tri­al sec­tor). Exclu­sive­ly the OPUS series comes with NC-HOPS from direkt cnc-sys­teme pre-installed.
