Breton MATRIX - High-speed machining centres with five interpolated axes

Matrix 800-1000-1300
Matrix is a new range of machining centres with a gantry structure and moving cross beam designed and developed by Breton to satisfy the new and demanding manufacturing  requirements for  high-speed machining of complex and large size workpieces across various applications for die manufacturing, model making and styling.
Rigidity and high dynamics are distinctive features of this range making it ideal for machining a multitude of components and products at high speeds with maximum milling performance.
Matrix thanks to the speed of the linear axes which reaches up to 40 m/min, to the Direct Drive head with a rotational speed of up to 100 rpm and to continuous rotation of axis C,  this machining centre is the perfect solution for specific production requirements  as profiling complex workpieces with 5 continuous axes ensuring and guaranteeing maximum machining precision and performance
.
The direct drive twist head, which can be positioned at any angle thanks to the powerful hydraulic operated brakes, allows for mounting 40kW spindles with rotation speeds of up to 28000 rpm providing this work centre with improved milling efficiency and performance.
The various available configurations of the Matrix range (travel X from 2500mm on Matrix 800 to 3900mm on Matrix 1300, Y from 2000 mm to 8000mm, Z from 1000mm to 1600mm) make these work centres the ideal solution for machining medium to large workpieces across a number of materials as steel, aluminium, resin and composite materials.
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.
Machining precision and quality are further enhanced  by the thermal symmetry of the machine  structure, and by the thermal stabilising system which stabilises and maintains the temperature of the balls nuts, bearings on axis Z and  axis drives  at the same temperature as that of  the machine structure.
