When it comes to CNC machines for solid wood processing, flexible application is essential.
At this year’s Ligna, MAKA will present its high-end CNC machining centre, type CR 27tx with Robot handling. The Robot is optional, but MAKA says it is a key element in the financial justification.
The CR27tx’s double portal unit is fitted with a high-performance 5-axis milling unit including tool shuttle, a vertical triple milling unit, a multiple-spindle drill unit and a chain-type tool magazine with 51 places. Tool change times are cut by around 10 seconds.
The technology enables a complete machining process in only one clamping cycle. Its tandem table construction minimises auxiliary process times for in/outfeed of the workpiece in alternative operation. Large workpieces are handled by a coupled version of both tables.
The CR27tx, which is used in furniture, staircase and door production, is available in three construction levels.
MAKA also had flexibility in mind when it launched the stationary CNC-machining centre PE 80 last year. This gantry portal machine handles machining of staircases, windows, doors and furniture panels, from boards to solid wood. The double-guided system in the Y-axis gives the 5-axis working unit rigidity, providing improved milling quality. A horizontal drum-type changer with 20 tool places and a vertically adjustable chip collection basket complete the standard equipment. The standard table version comprises manually adjustable clamping bars and vacuum pods.
Next to the 5-axis unit, the second construction level features an independent 3-4 axis working unit, a drill unit with 7+7 spindles, chain-magazine with 51 places, and an automatically-loading console table.
Maka will be in Hall 12, stand D80.
