UNISIG ADDS FIVE NEW MODELS TO ITS PROVEN
RANGE OF DEEP DRILLING AND MILLING CENTERS
With the new range of UNISIG’s USC-M deep
drilling and milling centers, mold makers
now have seven powerful and versatile
solutions for workpiece diameters of up
to 3.600 mm and workpiece weights of
up to 30 t. All machines combine several
processes in one machine: the deep hole
drilling and milling on all four sides of a
workpiece, while at the same time reducing
setup times and increasing accuracy for mold
makers. All machines support the high feed
rates of modern indexable gundrill tools.
In addition to the use of gundrill deep
hole drilling tools, some models can even
support the more effective BTA deep hole
drilling tools for the high performance
drilling of waterline holes. A CAT50 quill
allows you to perform all deep hole drilling
and machining operations within the
machine’s working range. The machines are
equipped with a 360-degree rotary work
table and a programmable deep drilling and
machining spindle. These can be aligned via
144
PECM Issue 37
a pivot axis with 30 degrees down and 15
degrees upwards. The latest Heidenhain TNC
640 CNC controller and Heidenhain motors
and drives are used. A full guarding with oil
mist extraction completes the equipment.
This machine series has now been
extended by 4-6 axis machines, for deep
hole drilling with gundrilling tools and
milling, with a universal spindle and a
short changeover between deep drilling
and milling operations for the efficient
production of small to medium sized
workpieces.
In addition, 5-7 axis machines are available
for the use of gundrilling and more
efficient BTA deep hole drilling tools, each
with a dedicated spindle for deep drilling
and milling, to dramatically increase
performance for mold makers.
High-end solutions include 7-axis
machining centers for highly dynamic
motion control, powerful milling spindle
with gear reduction and optional pallet
changer. With the model USC-M38,
workpieces with a length of up to 2.000
mm can be conventionally machined and
deep-drilled in one clamping. The larger
USC-M50 can handle up to 3.000 mm long
workpieces.
The machines can be equipped with an
automatic tool changer with up to 120 tool
positions, a laser tool presetter, workpiece
probes, Heidenhain glass scales for
increased accuracy, as well as an automatic
pallet changer.
