Breton launches Raptor, a vertical high-speed machining centre and the ideal solution for milling, contouring, trimming and boring light alloys, resins and composite engineered materials. This machining centre is perfect for machining 3-D workpieces satisfying the most demanding requirements across a number of industrial applications as the aerospace and engineered materials industries.
In the last two years one of the few markets that has managed to ride out the economical global crisis is the aviation industry with names as Boeing 787 and Airbus 380 and countries as Russia and the emerging new markets as China are registering a more than positive recovery. When talking about the aerospace and aviation industries, we have to talk about precision 5-axis milling operations for machining not just metals but also composite and engineered materials consisting of several layers of different materials. Raptor, our latest machining centre, has been designed and developed to satisfy these precise production requirements.
The machining centre for demanding production
Raptor is a vertical high-speed machining centre and the ideal solution for milling, contouring, trimming and boring light alloys, resins and composite engineered materials.
Raptor is, without doubt, the machining solution for milling 3-D workpieces typical of the aviation industry, but not only, as this type of production process is now used in nautical and energy applications.
Raptor is the perfect solution for heavy-duty production requirements thanks to the structural rigidity and machine dynamics offering improved high-speed machining combined with greater milling power. These important features are further enhanced by the fast linear axes which reach speeds of up to 80 m/min, and the tilting and twist head, axis C with a rotational capacity of ± 200° and axis A rotates from 0° up to +115°, makes this machine highly versatile when working with 5 continuous axes ensuring maximum precision and performance even when performing undercuts.
The twist head with direct drive can be positioned at any angle.
Increased milling performance is guaranteed by a 20 kW spindle reaching speeds of 28,000 rpm/min.
Our Raptor machining centre offers greater linear axis - X, Y and Z - travel, respectively 3,800mm, 2,800mm and 1,200mm.
Another important quality of the latest Breton machine is high machining and milling precision. In fact the linear axes offer guaranteed positioning with a ±0,015 mm/m tolerance margin and repositioning precision tolerance of ± 0,007 mm/m.
The rotary axes offer precision positioning with a ±0,025” tolerance margin and repositioning precision tolerance of ± 0,017”.
Our Raptor machining centres are fitted with tool magazines for holding up to 14 tools and as optional accessory can be increased to accommodate up to 100 tools.
The closed structure and drive assemblies mounted on the top part of the machine, ensure maximum operator safety and maximum machining precision, performance and reliability.
