5-Axes CNC Machining Facility
A. Model & Make
FAMS-PG.ESI TDCC, FAMS-PG-Canada
Specifications
- Table Size : 1600 mm dia (Rotary Table)
- X, Y & Z Axes: 800 x 800 x 500 mm
- Spindle Tilting ( angle): -15 to+90o
- Spindle Speed : 48,000 rpm
- Control System: GE Fanuc 15i-M (Five Axes)
Details
The 5-axes CNC machining centre is a custom built unit which can be operated with and with out coolant. This machine is especially used for green machining of ceramics after they are pre-sintered. The advantage of green machining is mainly to increase the productivity and reduce the machining cost. This machine can also perform grinding operation on the sintered ceramic parts with higher spindle rpm and can achieve final surface finish of 0.1m. This machine is capable of carrying out profile generation like parabolid, spherical, asperical, hyperboloid surfaces within ±10 mm accuracies.

Details
The 5-axes CNC machining centre is capable of running at high speeds up to 42,000 rpm with and without coolant. The machine is being exclusively used for testing of coated tools under high speed dry conditions (green machining). The advantage of green machining is mainly to increase the productivity and reduce the machining cost. One of the main highlights of this CNC system is its high Speed Cutting in highest precision.
