Germany's Kegelmann to Host WorkNC Machining Tech Days
 MACON,
France, Jun 5, 2009 - Since the end of March of this year, the new F. Zimmermann
FZ 100 gantry (portal) milling machine, seen on display at last year’s
EUROMOLD show, has been in operation at
Kegelmann Technik in Rodgau-Jüdesheim, Germany. With its newly developed
M3 ABC 3-axis milling head and the ability to perform 6-axis machining, this
machine sets new standards in the volume machining of aluminum, composite
and model making materials as well as in the high speed cutting of steel and
cast iron, where conventional 2-axis fork heads with A- and C-axis have long
reached their limits in 5-axis simultaneous machining.
To illustrate the benefits of 6-axis machining, Kegelmann Technik, a
specialist supplier of prototype components and small series parts in
aluminum and plastic, will host two Technology Days on 23 and 24th June at
its new high-tech milling center. The Technology Days will include the live
machining of parts including a large aeronautical structural component.
In addition to these guided milling demonstrations, there will be a joint
seminar illustrating the entire process chain conducted by Kegelmann, F.
Zimmermann, Sescoi and Siemens.
F. Zimmermann will provide full details on the FZ 100 machine, which,
with its six axis capabilities and complementary features, guarantees
perfect quality and supreme accuracy while cutting machining times by 75%.
Sescoi will demonstrate WorkNC G3, the most recent generation of its
automatic CAM/CAD system, which allows even the 6-axis FZ 100 machine to be
easily programmed - almost at push of a button. Sescoi Engineers will also
explain how 5-axis and 6-axis technology can be used most productively.
Finally, Siemens will outline the operation of its Volumetric
Compensation System (VCS), which equips the FZ 100. Using VCS, the residual
geometrical errors on large 3- and 5-axis Cartesian machine tools, which
could only be further reduced by highly technical mechanical means, can be
compensated by acting directly on the CNC command. The result is
significantly improved production accuracy.
