Details
5-axis CNC vertical gantry machining center equipped with a Mitsubishi C80 CNC system. It features CNC-controlled motorized clamps for automatic and simultaneous positioning, including the 'Cut and Separate' cycle (Mdt) with an accuracy of a few hundredths of a millimeter. It also incorporates Mam (automatic clamp movement during machining -Method of Automatic Movement) and the Mab cycle (step-by-step machining and cutting -Magnetic Core Drilling Machines). Designed for milling, drilling, tapping, and 5-face cutting on aluminum, light alloy, and PVC profiles, as well as steel processing, it guarantees high precision and operational flexibility. Ideal for structural aluminum extrusions and curtain wall applications.

MDT, MAM and MAB modules

MDT, MAM and MAB modules

MDT module for “cut and separate” cycles, and MAB bar-feed module for optional step-by-step cutting. This is an advanced system designed to produce multiple parts from a single profile bar, optimizing both processing time and material usage.
The MTS system enables versatile processes, such as executing an MDT cycle on position 1 (using the full bar) and a single-piece cycle on position 4. The clamps operate independently, moving beyond the traditional constraints of fixed zones or assigned work areas.

Power and speed. Clamping capacity up to 500 mm.

With a liquid-cooled 18 kW electrospindle (optional 20 kW) equipped with an encoder, the ARIEL-5 guarantees speed and precision in all machining operations.

meSoft 2.0 software: user-friendly and comprehensive to meet every requirement.

meSoft 2.0 enables realistic cycle simulation and high-performance collision control, with an optional timing module for productivity calculation. Tool and counter-block design. Management of toolpaths, including lead-in/lead-out, overlap, and pocketing with islands. Customizable machining sequences in the Mdt cycle, both before and after the separation cut. Full logging of operator and machine activities for data interpretation by MES/ERP systems.

Advantages

  • Modular operations on full-length bars and multiple cuts: the MDT cutting and separation module enables modular operations with CNC-motorized clamps, ensuring precise and efficient machining on multiple workpieces from the same source bar.

  • Structural rigidity and stability: the steel tubular frame ensures maximum rigidity and stability, making it ideal for machining large-scale profiles.

  • Production time optimization: with simultaneous clamp positioning and rapid tool changes in any position, it significantly reduces overall production times.

  • Clean and uninterrupted work environment: equipped with removable bins and optional motorized chip conveyors, it ensures a clean and efficient workspace.

  • Efficient scrap management: the base frame is designed to automatically channel machining debris toward the center, pre-arranged for a motorized conveyor belt for waste evacuation.

  • Advanced automation and safety: equipped with cabin-mounted radar and photocells at the ends for access control and perimeter protection, ensuring a safe work environment compliant with industrial standards.

  • Optional chip-blowing system for profile cleaning during dry machining with diamond tools. Optional laser control for correct profile positioning when interfaced with loading robots. Optional multidirectional infrared probe for measuring actual extrusion dimensions and applying relative corrections. Tool presetter and optional tool wear control. Automatic self-tuning system for axes, spindle pivot, and kinematics. Optional automatic compensation system for thermal expansion.

  • MES interfacing with various standards, including OPC UA for Industry 4.0. Optional hardware for dynamic energy monitoring for Industry 5.0 transition. Optional remote component diagnostics via Mecal VPN router for Industrial IoT.

  • Options: remote pendant station, barcode reader, and label printer.

  • The Customary Robustness of Mecal Products – Technology and Innovation. High-end technological partners and suppliers for top-of-the-line mechanical, electrical, electronic, and pneumatic components. All this, combined with the advanced level of technology and automation within the Mecal plant, guarantees the quality and innovation of the final product.

  • C80 Mitsubishi and meSoft 2.0: The state-of-the-art MTS system delivers enhanced performance, safety (radar system), and productivity (parts per unit of time). It ensures high reliability (OEE) with features like axes auto-tuning and self-diagnosis. Offering flexible working field lengths, it provides seamless hardware interfacing (robotics, motion, I/O) and software integration (MES, MOM, work orders, ISO files, and STEP files from external CAM).

5-axis CNC machining centre. High performance in terms of speed and flexibility, particularly suitable for processing large profiles, especially indicated for the curtain wall and industrial sectors. Safety is guaranteed by a radar technology system. Pendulum machining with the possibility of modulating work areas thanks to the NC and HMI software. —– MeSoft2.0 is the new software that ensures simplified programming and use, while also capable of receiving and executing ISO programs from 3D software or translating and executing STEP or IGES files. —– 12-position tool magazine with automatic tool changer plus a dedicated saw blade compartment housing a standard 450mm diameter blade. All CNC axes are absolute, including the clamp axes, and do not require homing upon machine restart; 5-axis interpolation is optional with the M850 NC. —– It features 8 standard motorized CNC clamps which are true CNC axes in their own right. The clamps can work in dynamic pendulum mode, positioning themselves independently and in masked time relative to the spindle’s machining processes in the opposite work field (pendulum work). Furthermore, the clamps can perform cut-and-separate cycles on a full-length bar (MDT, cutting module). —– The MAM cycle (automatic clamp movement during machining) is standard, while the MAB cycle (bar feed module, incremental cutting type) is optional. —– The 5 interpolating axes allow the Hiteco orbital electrospindle to rotate +/- 321° on the vertical C-axis and +/- 181° on the A-axis all around the profile, to perform machining on all faces of the profile.
