Mikron HPM 800 U HD

Designed for the production of tools, molds and high-quality parts, the GF AgieCharmilles Mikron HPM 800U HD 5-axis High Performance Machining Center features High Dynamics (HD) technology that delivers 1G machine acceleration rates for fast precision part processing and significantly reducing non-cut time. GF AgieCharmilles pairs the HD technology of the HPM 800U HD with a Step-Tec 20,000-rpm HSK-A63 in-line spindle. It generates 84 Nm (63.7 ft-lbs) of torque at 4,450 rpm for high metal removal rates, while also providing the fast spindle speeds necessary for producing superior part surface finishes. The spindle is also fitted with oil-lubricated ceramic hybrid bearings and is vector-controlled, enabling thread cutting without the use of a compensating chuck. A fast 30-tool automatic tool changer keeps the spindle supplied with tools and further reduces non-cut times, and GF AgieCharmilles offers tool changer capacities up 120 positions. As a gantry portal-type design machine, the HPM 800U HD incorporates direct drives in the rotating and swiveling axes of its table, which securely clamps for precise workpiece positioning. The machine's design also provides a large work envelope and ample unrestricted workpiece access, even with the fully automated pallet version of the machine that can be equipped with a 2, 7, 9, or 12-pallet changer. For maximum maneuverability around various part sizes and shapes, the HPM 800U HD provides 31.5" (800mm) of travel in the X and Y axes, as well as 21.6" (550mm) of clearance between its table surface and spindle nose in the Z-axis. The machine's table surface measures 31.5" x 23.6" (800mm x 599mm) and accommodates 5-axis workpieces weighing as much as 1,250 lbs (500 kg).
