The twist heads, with a continuous rotation of axis C,  axis A rotation from  -105° up to +120°, rotational speed up to 100 rpm and 40kW electrospindle,   make this solution the perfect choice for high-speed machining operations of complex workpieces as it operates along the 3 dimensions in simultaneous. Machine operation and programming is simple and user friendly.
The Flymill range of CNC vertical work centres has been designed to offer the end user an amp work area all in a compact design becoming the perfect choice when factory space is at a premium. The wide choice of accessories allow customers to customise the machine to satisfy specific production requirements.

Matrix is the new range of  Breton machining centres, with a mobile crossbeam designed and developed in.-house, to satisfy the new high-speed machining requirements and demand of the aerospace industry.
Matrix thanks to the various machine configurations and choice of models offered it is possible to have  axis X from 2500 mm up to 3900 mm, axis Y starting from 2000mm up to 8000 mm and axis Z from 1000 mm up to 1600 mm, and the perfect solution  for machining medium and large size workpieces in special alloys,  steel, aluminium, resin and composite materials.
Xceeder is the range of work centres Breton offers  for high-speed machining requirements satisfying the most demanding customers in the civil aviation and  aerospace industries.  
The gantry structure, Metalquartz technology and rotary tilting  table with direct drive are significant and important features for demanding production needs all in a compact design.
Maxima is a vertical multi-purpose 6-axis high-speed machining centre designed for milling and turning operations and machines parts with diameters up to 3500 in superalloys (titanium, Inconel etc), steel, aluminium and composites.
The linear axes can reach speeds of up to 60 m/min and worktable rotary speeds of up to 500 rpm. The axes are structurally robust and the milling/turning worktable can be supplied with  diameters of up to 3000mm,  operational torques up to 28000 Nm and loading capacities of 12000 kg.
The automatic high-speed 5-axis Breton Ultrix range is designed for milling, turning and gauging workpieces with diameters measuring up to 1200mm.  The Ultrix work centre is fitted with a powerful 75 kW spindle, 300 Nm, 14000 rpm and a specific software for manufacturing gears

BULL'S EYE CENTRED - part 1

Innovative products incorporating that technology which has made Breton one of the leading enterprises on the world market for work centres.  
The Breton range of machines are acknowledged worldwide for the superior quality technology, their excellent production performance, the innovative solutions offered and unequalled quality of the products and services this company provides to each individual customer.
If 2010 is to be remembered as a difficult year for many industries and with many companies hit by the international crisis, the aerospace market, instead,  moves in its own direction.  This specific industry is tied to long-term projects which are affected marginally by economic trends and crisis.  
The reason is because it takes around 10 years to design, develop, build and market a new plane.  
In fact, the majority of new work orders commissioned  to Breton in 2010 came from the civil aviation and  aerospace industries.
Breton, located in Castello di Godego (TV), in just a few years has become a key manufacturer of CNC work centres, a position which it still holds today at an international level.  The key to success? 
Research and development, words that are certainly not rhetorical for Breton.  
The company employs about 620 people and has its own in-house research unit and the mechanical and electronic engineering departments develop new products, production processes and technologies.
The range of Breton work centres, designed for machining aluminium, steel, titanium, special alloys, engineered and composite materials offers a number of solutions across a broad range of industrial applications.  In addition to the natural and engineered stone markets, at least 60% of machines offered by the tool machine division are for the civil aviation and aerospace industries and used for manufacturing dies, models, precision engineered components and gears.

ANTICIPATING THE MARKET 

Breton machines are designed based on accurate market surveys aiming at anticipating customer demand.  The strength of this company is to achieve the shortest  time to market possible  so as to be ready to launch  innovative solutions satisfying new demands.  In particular aerospace customers are focused on machine precision and flexibility with the possibility of milling and machining at the same time different types of materials spanning from titanium to aluminium and carbon fibre
Production is managed by an advanced software application. Production is equipped with the most modern automatic tool machines available which offer and ensure high quality standards are satisfied as well as reducing production times
This is how Breton can provide the market economically  viable solutions.

Breton ULTRIX 1000 RT HD - Five axes, still and always

Ultrix 1000 RT HD, highly automated high-speed machining centre with 5 axes, engineered for milling, turning and grinding operations on up-to-1200mm diameter pieces. This machining centre is equipped with a powerful 75 kW, 300 Nm, 14.000 rpm spindle and with software for the cut of Klingelnberg and Gleason bevel gears. This is Breton’s answer to the constant demand for quality and precision in high automation production systems for the machining of mid-sized and small parts


Ultrix vertical machining centre is specifically conceived for machining steel, aluminium, superalloys and composite materials.
It features a gantry structure with mobile cross beam. The 5-axes movement is generated by the three linear axes combined with a rotary tilting table.
There are several models of Ultrix CNC milling and turning centres to choose from: the 800 (with 4 axes), the 800 RT and the Ultrix 1000, 1000 RT and 1000 RT HD.
The table rotation is around a C axis that can reach 1.000 rpm when turning. The A tilting axis can reach 100 rpm. The linear axes feature a speed of up to 60 m/minute. Ultrix are multipurpose machining centres performing consistently the horizontal and vertical turning, milling, drilling and grinding, with just one positioning of the piece.
The turning boring bar placed on a side of the vertical ram enables to turn externally pieces which are higher than the Z travel thanks to the additional 150 mm vertical stroke of the boring bar. In addition, this allows our milling and turning centres to use shorter tools, thus jolts are reduced and the utilization of vibration-damping bars is limited only to very deep turning operations on full-hard materials

Furthermore, Ultrix high-speed milling and turning centres can be fitted with a turning/milling spindle which, enabling to swivel the turning tool in various positions, allows to swiftly change from the vertical to the horizontal turning of the same piece, so as to optimize both the machining and the tools and, when working diagonally, to turn even pieces up to 1.000mm in diameter 
All Ultrix models can be equipped with a tool-store holding 30, 60 or 150 tools, automatic pallet-changing facilities and an array of options to fully tailor the machine to the customer's various needs.
