Countersinking and ultrasonic cutting: two major breakthroughs

Aerospace, the industry continuously searching for innovative materials offering better performance and always looking for micrometrical accuracies.

A
n industry that needs someone who can promptly develop cutting edge production solutions which could be both competitive and reliable.

That's why many major Aerospace players selected Breton as a partner, the Italian company manufacturing high-speed machining centres who recently introduced two revolutionary technologies that open up new machining horizons for the aero-applications.


COUNTERSINKThe heart of one of these is a machining head that can drill and countersink not only faster but also more precisely than ever before. It can be installed on a variety of 5-axis machining centres, such as those of the Breton Matrix and Breton Eagle families.


No special programing is required since automatically 3 accurate probes around the cutting tool come into contact with the surface of the workpiece to detect the real position in the space, directly adjusting the perpendicular direction to the surface and measuring the exact countersinking depth.

All in one shot!

It's a unique solution, which has already been adopted by various aerostructure manufacturers who now supply components with a higher degree of accuracy in much faster lead times.




ULTRASONIC
Another exciting innovation focuses on the accessories Breton has developed for ultrasonic cutting, ideal for machining core materials with aramid and aluminium honeycomb, for structural components which must be lighter than ever while maintaining their structural rigidity, produced at incredible speed.




MULTITASKING CONCEPT
Both technologies are automatically managed and are interchangeable with other conventional rotary cutting tools, for a perfect multitasking concept, performing a series of operations with just one machine thus reducing investments, production costs and times, while guaranteeing greater accuracy and more efficient productivity.

Breton Matrix 1000 DYNAMIC, the 5-axis "no-compromise" machining centre

Boosting productivity is a common denominator for companies in the aerospace, automotive, and toolmaking industries. The production of high quality components, of impeccable precision and advanced technology is a plus that only certain 5-axis machining centres can deliver.

Breton Matrix 1000 DYNAMIC, the latest arrival in the Matrix family, combines these features: to introduce you to its prodigious capabilities we decided to provide a sequence of photographs and videoclips of this innovative machining centre.
Wood


Tool changer
As you can see, the Matrix 1000 DYNAMIC is ideal for milling medium and large-size  workpieces in steel, aluminium, engineered materials and resin, with strokes of up to  3,000x6,000x1,300mm.




PRECISION
Precision first and foremost: have you seen the type of parts this machine can produce? The parts involved are frequently prototypes, also in titanium or special alloys, that call for absolute compliance with design tolerances.


For example, this version of the machine – the Matrix DYNAMIC K60 presented at EMO in Milan, with a motor spindle power rating of 70 kW - can handle workpieces of up to 6 metres in length with an aluminium chip removal rate of up to 11,000 cm3/min. This is an enormous benefit in many industries in which aluminium is widely employed, such as the automotive and aerospace industries.






CUSTOMISATION
The Matrix 1000 DYNAMIC, just like all Breton machining centres, can be fully customised on the basis of the requirements of each customer. Configurable with one or two work areas for pendulum machining operations, the machines can also be fitted with robotic chain or rack type tool magazines with a fast tool changer manipulator to reduce idle times caused by tool changeovers.



A range of bespoke solutions to maximise throughput for any company.
Just take a look at some examples of the machining capabilities:
