SPECIAL MILLING with Breton FLYMILL HD

A leader in the global landscape of numerical control machining centers, Breton develops and manufactures innovative concepts that stand out on the market for their high quality, superior operating performance and long-term reliability. Among these, the Flymill HD range includes two interpolated 5-axis vertical machining centers, designed and developed for milling superalloys, steel and aluminum. 

The main difference between Flymill HD 1000 and 1300 is vertical and horizontal travel - 2.500 mm and 3.500 mm respectively - whereas longitudinal travel starts from 3.000 mm. The large worktable, stiff  construction and generous travel distances are important features and ideal for shuttle production operations, with linear axes reaching speeds of 40 m/min and 60 m/min rapid stroke.

The twist heads, with continuous C-axis rotation, off er A-axis  rotation up to 135 degrees, 85 kW power and rotational speeds up to 100 rpm: an 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 300 Nm torque (continuous operation), enabling high-speed machining both for rough milling and finishing operations and ideal conditions for composite materials, light alloys, steel and superalloys.

Breton also offers a choice of optional accessories to satisfy individual production requirements, including: 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. 

The Flymill HD range includes two interpolated 5-axis vertical machining centers, designed and developed for milling superalloys, steel and aluminum.

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. Highly skilled workers, regular and accurate quality controls on incoming materials and components and finally the end product is subject to stringent controls to ensure Breton machines guarantee performance, reliability and longevity.

MAXIMA 1600 - installation at customer's site

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.

MAXIMA is the perfect solution for turning, milling, boring and tapping complex 3-D components  used in the aeronautical, energy and precision engineering industries. A single machine for transforming  raw materials into a finished product minimising workpiece repositioning times.

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.

MAXIMA can be supplied in a  choice of configurations allowing you to perform complex machining jobs with maximum flexibility, performance and efficiency with work ranges spanning from 2200x2500x1200 mm³ up to 10000x3500x2000 mm³ and over. 

This range incorporates an automatic head changeover system and six interpolated axes making these machines highly flexible when performing milling, turning and vertical turning operations. When milling the entire work area is exploited in full. 

The 5-axis milling head - with continuous axis C rotation, axis A rotation up to 135° -  mounts spindles with a torque output of maximum 1300Nm and can be positioned at any angle and is locked in place by powerful hydraulic brakes.    Special heads are available for internal and external turning operations.

Machining and finishing precision is guaranteed thanks to the limited geometric tolerances, thermal stability and the implementation of a specific software for compensating  spindle thermal expansion and  drifts which occur when machining and production conditions vary. 

The range of electrospindles enhance the MAXIMA range of machining centres  satisfying specific  production requirements.  And more detail:  M 1000/06 (100 kW, continuous torque 1000 Nm  in S1 and rotary speed of up to 6000 rpm) has been designed and developed for heavy-duty machining operations for milling steel and superalloys from rough milling to precision finishing; M 300/14 (75 kW, continuous torque 300 Nm in S1 and 14000 rpm) is the ideal solution for steel and aluminium from rough milling to precision finishing operations; M 51/28 (40 kW, continuous torque 51 NM in S1 and 28000 rpm) is the perfect choice for high-speed machining operations for steel and light alloys from rough milling to precision finishing  operations.
