a800Z

Moving to a conventional 5X machine sometimes means sacrificing pure cutting performance. But not with the a800Z. Its high-performance, high-torque, jacket-cooled spindles give operators the same power as on the 4X a81nx so they can cut a wide range of materials. What’s more, the highly rigid double-slant structure brings the cutting performance to levels beyond most conventional 4X machines. The double-slant design of both the column and the table forms a highly rigid structure that efficiently transfers the high cutting forces generated during heavy-duty machining and maximises machine rigidity.

No machine operator wants chips accumulating in the machining chamber. That is why the a800Z has a high-capacity chip management system. The interior walls of the machining chamber are covered in stainless steel to minimise chip adherence. Besides, these close-to-vertical walls allow chips to freely fall by their own weight. Three evacuation channels at the bottom of the chamber ensure efficient chip evacuation to the standard high-capacity chip conveyor. Such efficiency avoids energy losses and reduces coolant tank maintenance.

With its low step-over threshold the a800Z offers excellent access to the machining chamber for the machine operator to perform pre-machining set-up or in-process inspection. The a800Z can be easily connected to various automation systems, e.g. pallet magazine system, robot system or jig-tool package, and is also connectable to existing automation facilities, e.g. a Makino MMC2 system in combination with an a81nx.

The 10.000 rpm spindle and the high torque 8,000 rpm assure you have the right spindle in any ocassion.
