New Product Release - Contouring Tilting Head Option
The Monarch Machine Tool Company announces the release of a contouring tilting head
option for its entire VMC line of vertical machining centers. The tilt head is capable of
tiling +/- 75 degress along the X-Axis. Tilt motion speed is up to 75 rpm for contouring
cuts or can be clamped in position for heavier milling cuts. Spindle RPM options are
available from 8,000 rpm - 24,000 rpm. By adding an optional rotary table a fully
functional 5 axis platform is provided. This provides the ideal base for aircraft or power
generation blades, cylinder head, impeller, mold & die or oil field part generation.
This tilting head feature will be available on machines from 18" to 30 "
travel up to 36" x 240" travel. |
