CITIZEN R07-VI

• Linear Motors
  • The main-spindle features a built-in motor. Very fast acceleration and high positioning accuracy are obtained by the use of linear motors in all X-, Y- and Z1 axes in combination with Heidenhane glass scales for precise feedback of position. No ball screws are used, so variations of accuracy due to changing temperatures are eliminated. Exceptional precision and repeat accuracy are achieved. High speed rapid feed rates up to 30m/min are possible. The elimination of mechanical components prone to the effects of wear, ensure long-term accuracy to the highest level. Digital AC servo motors are used on the tool spindle of the rotary tools, the drive of the sub-spindle and the Z3 axis.
• Main spindle
  • High-speed spindle with precision ceramic bearings and built-in motor for a spindle speed up to 16000 rpm. Opening and closing of the collet is possible even at highest speed due to a newly developed mechanism of the collet, using disk springs and rotary cylinder system. Cycle times are minimised by the reduction of acceleration / deceleration times and by the elimination of idle times. Spindle through-hole is 12mm, maximum bar diameter is 7mm. 1° indexing is provided as standard. The maximum turning length is 40mm.
• Sub-spindle
  • Newly developed, extremely compact unit for speeds up to 10000rpm and pip-free part-off surface. Opening and closing of collets by pneumatic control.
• Tooling system with 13 tools
• Two independent vertical holders are designed for extremely short response time and fast movement in x and y. 2 turning and 6 drilling tools (3 front/3 back) on holder 1, 3 turning tools and 3 rotary tools for cross-drilling on holder 2.
• Simultaneous Machining
• Simultaneous control of up to 6 axes. Simultaneous working with up to 3 tools. Full synchronization between main and sub-spindles.
• Fanuc 18iB Control System
  • The machine is equipped with a control based on Fanuc 18i. The electronic hand wheel for safe and easy program check is standard. The movable control panel is equipped with a 7.2" monochrome display. A PCMCIA slot enables easy input/output and storage of program data. An integrated pre selection function for tools reduces the selection time due to both vertical tools holders working independently from each other.
• Space saving compact design
• The use of linear motors and micro-technologies plus the integration of the control cabinet under the bar feeder makes the CNC sliding headstock lathe R07 and extremely compact machine. Using type VI with the new very small sub-spindle, the dimensions are no larger than those of a cam lathe. This means a significantly higher productivity in relation to the required space.
