High-speed machining centres are designed for the effective and efficient machining of Graphite.
Graphite glass moulds for glass end products are increasingly used in ICT sector and industries, while graphite electrodes are popular and proven in the automotive, electronic components, aerospace and packaging sectors.
These two machines from GF Machining Solutions are designed to meet the particular challenges of machining graphite.
The three-axis Mikron Mill S 400/500 Graphite is aimed at machining graphite mould tools.
As ambient temperatures fluctuate in machine shops and machining speeds change, process stability is maintained thanks to the machine’s intelligent thermal management system and its thermo-stable machine body.
Precision and stability at the tool tip are ensured by the Step-Tec HVC140 spindle, with speeds ranging up to 42,000 rpm and 13.5 kW of power.
As well as providing a ‘best-in-class’ solution for graphite, the machine can also handle a range of other materials which increases its versatility and appeal.
The Mikron HSM 500 Graphite, with its simple and compact, is ideal for dry machining graphite.
The machine’s Step-Tec HVC140 spindle (42,000rpm) and integrated high-efficiency dust extraction system ensure fast part production and process optimisation and, when integrated to a System 3R WorkPartner (WPT1+) part-changing robot, the productivity potential of this manufacturing cell is unrivalled.
