HSC 800

The new dimension in mold-and die making

Production benefits

• Harmonious interplay of extremely high spindle frequencies, feed rate and machine dynamics
• Uniform cutting parameters at the tool edge
• Smooth, flowing axis movements for excellent surfaces (Ra up to 0,2 µ) and high precision (up to 3 µ) in hardened steel processing
• Hardened steel workpart processing up to 64 HRC
• Low thermal influence on the workpart
• Fast HSC-controls with great ease of operation

Commercial benefits

• Increase in ablation rate and surface quality
• Reduction of finishing and lead times
• Reduction of end-to-end manufacturing time by up to35 %
• Key technology for mold-and die manufacturing in hardened steel processing and a cost-effective complement to die-sinking-EDM
• Optimal use of the performance potential of modern EDM generators through fast, reproducible manufacturing of graphite electrodes

The technical qualities of the HSC 800

• HSC 800 High-Speed-Cutting-Center with excellent performance characteristics and optimal feed in X/Y/Z axes
• Perfect machine dynamics, high precision and excellent workpiece quality
• Water-cooled, mineral cast portal and machine bed for great dynamic, static and thermal stability
• Digital drives on all axes with direct position-measurement systems
• Vektor-controlled high-speed spindles for use with tools of Ø 0,2 mm and upwards
• CNC-controls of the newest generation, with great ease of operation          (HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 Windows multiprocessor controls)

Enhancement levels

• Larger tool magazines (up to 90 positions with HSK 40-E, up to 81 positions with HSK 50-E)
• Larger set-up area combined with longer Y feed (930 mm)
• Pallet exchange system for even greater productivity and availability in multi-shift operation 
• Intelligent, high-performance dust exhaust system for trouble-free processing of graphite
• Automatic handling systems
