ANCA FX3 200 mm Linear Machine

Product Details

experience less wear as there are no contacting parts. They have been specially designed for a lifetime of operation in harsh grinding environments. As the magnetic field is cylindrical there is no additional down force on the rails or machine base.Rated to IP67 With the unique cylindrical design the LinX Linear Motor is sealed to IP67. This sealing keeps out grinding contamination helping to extend the life of the linear motor.Does not need a separate chiller unit The LinX uses less energy than an equivalent flat bed style linear motor and has the same power consumption as a ballscrew system but with more efficiency.An affordable first step into CNC tool grinding, or an economical, good quality basic machine. Whatever your needs this machine provides the kind of technology and rigid accuracy not usually available at this price. If you don't need automation then the FX3, with its 9.5kW wheel spindle which provides ample power to cover a wide range of applications, is the tool grinder for you. It offers the same software and machine quality that are found in all ANCA machinesIf you need automation and the versatility of more options, such as the MicroPlus, then the FX5 Linear will suit your needs. The FX5 Linear has a spindle power of 9.5kW and also has an automatic 2-wheel changer for an increased range of wheels and tool types. Together with the optional automatic headstock clamping and automation solutions it can provide unmanned operation and the flexibility to handle small volumes and mixed batches of tools.For customers that require the increased flexibility of more spindle power, or the increased automation capacity that a robot can provide, the FX7 Linear is the machine that you are looking for.Hand-held Remote Pendant – provides operator with easier access to the machine during set-upControl Panel – full touch screen configured to machine options. Has Windows functionality with multi-touch & zoomAutomation Options – Robot loader options for either high-volume or low-volume tool production. Unmanned operation with 6 station wheel changer & RobotLoader Access Door – pallets slide out for easy operator access to tools for Robot loaderTool / Wheel Measurement Options – automated for increased productivity. LaserPlus auto tool measurement and compensation system. Wheel Probe for auto wheel qualification. iView tool measurement.Compact Size – the machine has a small footprint saving factory space but still has a large working envelopeRigid Design – positioning the grinding wheel on the C-axis centreline reduces thermal effects, as does the more compact machine sizeLinear Motors (LinX) – and linear scales improve precision and performance for superior tool accuracy and surface finish.AM5000 Control System – provides faster processing for increased productivitySpindle Design – HSK40F taper provides increased rigidity and accuracy for improved tool surface finish resultsC-Axis Pivot Point – as the grinding wheel is positioned on the C-axis centreline axis motion is reduced which is ideal for ballnose grinding to ensure accuracy is maintainedEasy Machine Access – ergonomically designed for the operator. Easy access to the headstock workholding, wheel pack and spindle for quick set-up and job change-over.Wheel Changer – Options for 2 and 6 station wheel changer for maximum flexibility and productivityTool-Support – Options include Steady bed, Pop-Up Steady and MicroPlus systems to increase accuracy (Z-axis mounting)
