"Over decades of experience in building bridge-type machining centers and technology development combined with a worldwide leading five axes head, AWEA created the new Mega5 Series 5-axis bridge-type machining centers. Given the freedom of flexibility, the 5-axis movement greatly increases the cutting capability and efficiency of large parts to cope with machining requirements in all kinds of industries," said a Yama Seiki spokesperson.
"The rigid structure of the head can handle all types of cutting with a high torque heavy-duty spindle from 12,000 RPM to 24,000 RPM. Built into a one-piece casting in graphite cast iron, the Mega5 head contains higher rigidity and vibration damping capability. The positioning and clamping of the B and C-axis is done within 1 second. Hydraulic clamping force is up to 10,000 N-m, providing heavy-duty cutting power. Its built-in direct drive motor along with hydraulic clamping far exceeds the traditional worm gear design in accuracy and durability. In addition, the integrated water cooling circuit effectively reduces any thermal deformation, making it able to withstand long hours of cutting.
"Spindle technology is also not a foreign subject at Yama Seiki AWEA. It has built its Mega5 head by integrating three sets of direct drive Italy Technai torque motors, providing maximum accuracy and backlash free advantages. The Mega5 is not only suitable for high-speed accuracy cutting but also suitable for heavy cutting at a low RPM range. Integrated with a water cooling circuit and high speed RPM, the spindle can reach to maximum stability within 10 minutes after the machine starts, with elongation not more than 0.01 mm.
"The Mega5 Series takes on a huge role in a big machine. It does not just cut with high speed and torque, but also accuracy while cutting for extreme lengths of time," said the Yama Seiki spokesperson.
