NEW high-speed vertical machining centre Breton Matrix DYNAMIC

Matrix DYNAMIC is the ideal solution for applications in the aeronautical and automotive sectors, for molding and design.
The unique rigidity and dynamic positioning mean the machine can be used with a variety of components at the highest operating speeds and maximum machining capacity.
The Matrix DYNAMIC in fact, thanks to the high speed of the linear axes up to 60 m/min and Direct Drive head, with a max. rotation speed of 100 rpm and continuous C-axis rotation, offers truly unique machining qualities on complex sections thanks to the 5 continuous axes providing the highest dynamic precision.
The continuous direct drive bi-rotary head, which can be positioned at any angle in its operating field thanks to the powerful hydraulic brakes, lets you use continuous spindle outputs up to 40 kW (51 Nm or 100 Nm) at speeds of up to 28,000 rpm, giving the machine a notablemilling capacity.
The different configurations of the Matrix Dynamix (Z=1000, X = 2,200, Y from 2,500 mm to 4,000 mm,) make the machine perfect for machining medium and large workpieces made of steel, aluminium, resin and composite materials.
The full casing and kinematic mechanisms located at the top of the machine make it extremely safe for the operator to use with the greatest reliability and accuracy during machining.
The high quality and accuracy of the machining are also a result of the thermo-symmetry of the structure with a thermal stabilization system for the ball nuts, Z-axis bearings and axis drives, to keep the temperature of these components in line with that of the rest of the machine.

Breton Flymill - how to make a giant gear wheel

Hello,
Our customer, Pushpak Trademech Ltd., sent me this amazing photo showing a gear wheel completed after a lengthy work.

It is one of the largest gear wheels ever built, with a diameter of some 9.5 metres.
 In the video below you can see how the Flymill 1600/K80, a high-speed vertical machining centre produced by Breton SpA, machines one of the four sectors composing the gear wheel.

Breton Flymill HD - designed and developed for milling superalloys, steel and aluminium

 The Flymill HD range includes two interpolated 5-axis vertical machining centres designed and developed for milling superalloys, steel and aluminium.  The main difference between Flymill HD 1000 and 1300 is vertical and horizontal travel  - 2500mm and 3500mm respectively whereas longitudinal travel starts from 3000mm.  The large worktable, structure rigidity and generous travel are important features and ideal for shuttle production operations. The linear axes reach speeds of  40 m/min and 60 m/min.  
The twist heads, with continuous axis C rotation , axis A rotation up to 135°, 85 kW and rotational speeds up to 100 rpm are the efficient and simple solution for complex machining operations.  
A choice of high-performing electrospindles are available for the Flymill DD HD range of heads which reach rotational speeds of up to 14,000 rpm and 300Nm torque (continuous operation) offering high-speed machining both for rough milling and finishing operations and ideal for composite materials, light alloys, steel and superalloys.
Breton also offers a choice of optional accessories to satisfy individual production requirements which include:  dust extraction system fitted to the spindle nose, automatic tool magazines for holding up to 150 tools, radio frequency operated workpiece detector, laser for tool setup.

It's not just a question of microns - Part 2

Leading models
This is how Breton moved into the Aviolamer production site as of the end of 2010. The first centre was a Matrix 800 2t K25 which was then shortly  followed by an Eagle 1000 2t K45.
The Matrix has a work table measuring 3000x2000 mm with a carrying capacity of 10 tonnes per metre square.
Axis X has a travel of 2000mm, axis Y 2500mm and the 800mm in travelling height of axis Z is perfect for machining large size work pieces.
These machines have 5 axes which are indispensable for achieving successful results in this industry.  Travel along axis A is  ±105° whereas axis C in continuous rotation allows for producing complex profiles.
The model installed at Aviolamer is fitted with a 28000 rpm spindle, a output of 28 and 20 kW with a torque of 55/38 Nm in S6 (40%) or  in continuous operation.
The HSK-63A spindle chuck is designed for high speed operations and high milling performance.
To reduce downtimes , axis speed is 40m/min (20 m/min a long axis Z) and tool changeover takes just a few seconds.
Eagle has a worktable measuring 5000x2000 mm with a carrying capacity of 500kg/m2, axis travel X/Y/Z are respectively 2500x4500x1000mm and axis A can rotate from 0 up to +115° and axis C travels ± 270°.
This model offers improved axis speed up to 85 m/min along X and Y and 50 m/min along Z.
The spindle is the same model as on the Matrix and ideal for milling and machining hard materials which are typically used in the aviation industry.
Immediate advantages
Thanks to these high-speed machining centres, Aviolamer has substantially reduced  production times and at the same time has  improved the geometrical quality and surface finish increasing this company's competitiveness  in this precise and difficult market. 
When we first approached Breton our aim was to produce complex parts in the shortest possible time, but we soon realised that not only this first objective was feasible but the margin guaranteed by Matrix and Eagles was significant and quite simply it really depended on the confidence the operator had with the machine". 
Introducing this type of machinery in a production site where no one has experience with working with continuous 5-axis equipment can be difficult.
Breton offered a support service to the operators so that in just a few days they were independent and could work to production requirements practically immediately.  But not only -  Mr Zaccone explains " When looking at  the last two work orders just completed there are certain machining details that we would never have achieved with the previous machinery. With the Sirius project, for example, these machines demonstrated their high performance and for the automotive business we produced most of the aluminium model for the production of the Fiat 500. This model is an exact replica of the vehicle which is used as reference for all the other suppliers for assembling their parts. It goes without saying, absolute precision is critical in this precise case." 
Multi-purpose instruments
As part suppliers we are at the bottom of the production chain” Mr Zaccone continues “and as such we have to deal with product criticality. On one hand it's a disadvantage because we have to provide a combination of production flexibility, reduced production costs and precision but on the other it's this precise company  strength that has made Piaggio Aero, Agusta and Thales choose us as their suppliers."
The experience with Breton has brought us a number of important advantages and has opened to doors onto new opportunities:  “These two new machines have offered us an unexpected result even from a marketing viewpoint.  When our customers visit our production site to  understand who we are they are now placing important work orders with us because they have seen for themselves skilled operators and quality production machinery at work.”
In future we are aiming at developing new parts. We already produce a number of parts for the Boeing 787 but there's a good chance of producing more complex pieces.  If the sales orders continue to increase" Mr Zaccone concludes “ we are thinking of buying  another Breton machining centre specifically designed for machining and milling titanium."Read Part 1 >>;
