IMTS PRODUCT PREVIEW
MAG IAS—Booth S-8519
The modular HMC 1250/1600 series
features a new, 180,000-position,
A-axis tilt-spindle for five-axis horizontal machining on large aerospace
and energy parts.
This horizontal machining center has six spindle options to suit
special-purpose or general machining requirements. The new, 6,000-
RPM tilt-spindle joins an all-around
10,000-RPM spindle; high-speed,
24,000-RPM spindle; high-torque,
2,600-Nm spindle; and two live spindles ( 4. 3 or 5.1 in. diameter).
The high-torque spindle is suited
for aerospace titanium cutting, while
the live spindles extend W-axis reach
by up to 31. 5 in., enabling deep-cav-ity milling with shorter, more rigid
tool lengths.
Standard on the live spindle is the
company’s Z-axis thermal compensation software, which dynamically
offsets spindle growth to maintain
tight tolerances.

Fanuc CNC America
Corp.—Booth S-8919
Fanuc says its 0i-D features nano-CNC resolution for precision measured in nanometers and has a
compact design with high reliabil-ity using limited cabling and easy
maintenance. This CNC, suitable
for many machining applications, is
available in both milling (0i-MD)
and turning (0i-TD) versions.
The total number of controlled
axes is eight for the milling model
and 11 in the turning model. Al
contour control II on the milling
model uses a high-speed processor,
allowing high-speed machining of
complex free-form parts, which are
programmed in continuous small
block segments. The milling model
also features nanosmoothing, which
smoothes surfaces by converting
small block segment programs into
smooth NURB surfaces in real time.
Jerk control in the milling model
also creates smooth acceleration
with less machine jerking.
Retraction for rigid tapping in the
turning model has been designed to
reduce cycle times.

Mitsubishi/MC
Machinery Systems
Inc.—Booth E-4920
The Mitsubishi Waterjet line has
been designed to complement
EDM technology with the precision of Mitsubishi controls and
servo system, states the company.
Software on the four-axis DX510
and DX612 features Intelligent Tapering Control, which corrects the
natural tapering of the cut automatically. Through the CNC it inclines
the stream up to ± 2 degrees while
pointing the jet toward the cutting
direction. This process allows for
the optimum cutting speed in a contour with accurate wall straightness.
Waterjet technology will be displayed with the high-pressure, 125-
HP, 90,000-PSI pump from KMT.
This pump design includes synchronized dual top ends, which allow for
constant jet pressure.
The company will also exhibit its
EDMs and high-speed vertical machining centers.

Hardinge Inc.—Booth S-8348
The new T 42 SUPER—PRECISION®
turning center is suitable for two-axis
machining or complex multitasking operations that require a high level of precision, delicate part handling, and parts
made complete in a single setup.
Features include live tooling with C
axis; subspindle; Y axis; main spindle
parts catcher; and subspindle parts
catcher designed for removing deli-
cate, high-precision parts with critical
surface finish requirements without
damage.
