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.

5-axis CNC vertical machining centre for milling very large workpieces

A range of interpolated 5-axis CNC vertical machining centres designed for milling medium, large and very large workpieces across various materials as steel, aluminium, composites and resin.

The Flymill range of machining centres offers four models - 1000, 1300, 1600 and 2000. The main difference between  the models is vertical and horizontal travel – 2,500 mm, 4,000  mm and 3,500 mm – whereas longitudinal travel spans from 2000mm to 8,000mm and over. 

The amply dimensioned table, structural rigidity and operational travel distances allow these machining centres to operate also in a  shuttle configuration. Linear axis speed  is 40m/min and can reach up to 60m/min.  The twist heads, with continuous axis C rotation, axis A rotation from -105° to +120°, rotational speed of 100 rpm and 40 kW electrospindle, guarantee maximum production flexibility and are the ideal solution for complex machining operations. 

A wide choice of high-performing electrospindles is available  with rotation speeds reaching up to 40,000 rpm and continuous torque up to 137 Nm allowing  for continuous  high-speed machining of composite materials, light alloy, steel and superalloys from rough milling  to surface finishing operations. All the electrospindles are thermally stabilised and a purpose software specifically  designed compensates any thermal expansion  and drift  to ensure maximum machining precision in varying operational conditions.  

A wide selection of optional accessories are also available for the Flymill range allowing customers to adapt these machining centres to specific individual requirements.

EAGLE 5 axis vertical high-speed machining centre designed for light alloys, composite materials and resin

EAGLE is a 5 interpolated axes work centre with a gantry structure and mobile crossbeam: the perfect solution when high-speed machining operations are required for milling aluminium and engineered materials.

This machining centre is specially designed for machining complex 3-D components for the aviation industry.

EAGLE has a choice of configurations enabling to perform even the most demanding jobs with maximum flexibility, performance and efficiency, with work ranges spanning from 2.500x2.000Fthe twistx1.000mm up to 20.000x5.000x2.500mm and over, with a twin crossbeam and twin ram for pendular works.

Rigidity and high dynamics are distinctive features of this work centre, which make it ideal for machining a wide range of components and products at extremely high speeds and with maximum milling performance.

Thanks to the speed of the linear axes which reach up to 85m/min and to the symmetrical rotary tilting head with continuous rotation of the "C" axis and 0° to +115° rotation of the "A" axis, EAGLE offers the operators the possibility of performing the 5-axes machining of complex profiles, ensuring maximum precision and machine dynamics when milling undercuts.

The twist head, which can be positioned at any angle, allows for mounting a spindle up to 40kW and with rotation speed up to 28.000 rpm, providing this machining centre with outstanding milling efficiency and performance.

The closed structure and drive assemblies which are all mounted on the top part of the machine, ensure maximum operator safety and remarkable precision, performance and reliability during the machining.

Latest 5-axis centre

Breton launches Raptor, a vertical high-speed machining centre and the ideal solution for milling, contouring, trimming and boring light alloys, resins and composite engineered materials.   This machining centre is perfect for machining 3-D workpieces satisfying the most demanding requirements across a number of industrial applications as the aerospace  and engineered materials industries.

In the  last two years one of the few markets  that has managed to ride out the economical global crisis is the aviation industry with names as Boeing  787 and Airbus 380 and countries as Russia and the emerging new markets as China are registering a more than positive  recovery.  When talking about the aerospace and aviation industries, we have to talk about precision 5-axis milling  operations for machining not just metals but also composite and engineered materials consisting  of several layers of different materials.    Raptor,  our latest machining centre, has been designed and developed  to satisfy these precise production requirements.

The machining centre for demanding production

Raptor is a vertical high-speed machining centre and the ideal solution for milling, contouring, trimming and boring light alloys, resins and composite engineered materials. 

Raptor is, without doubt, the machining solution  for milling 3-D workpieces typical of the aviation industry, but not only, as this type of production process is now used in  nautical and energy applications.  

Raptor is the perfect solution for heavy-duty production requirements thanks to the structural rigidity and machine dynamics offering improved high-speed machining combined with greater milling power. These important features are further enhanced by the fast linear axes which reach speeds of up to 80 m/min,  and the tilting and twist head, axis C with a rotational capacity of   ± 200°  and axis A rotates from 0° up to +115°, makes this machine highly versatile when working with 5 continuous axes ensuring maximum precision and performance even when performing undercuts. 

The twist head with direct drive can be positioned at any angle.

Increased milling performance is guaranteed by a 20 kW spindle reaching speeds of 28,000 rpm/min.

Our Raptor machining centre offers greater linear axis  - X, Y and Z -   travel, respectively 3,800mm, 2,800mm and 1,200mm.

Another important quality of the latest Breton machine  is high machining and milling precision.  In fact the linear axes offer guaranteed positioning with a ±0,015 mm/m tolerance margin and repositioning precision tolerance of  ± 0,007  mm/m. 

The rotary axes offer precision positioning with a ±0,025” tolerance margin and repositioning precision tolerance of ± 0,017”.

Our Raptor machining centres are fitted with tool magazines for holding up to 14 tools and as optional accessory can be increased to accommodate up to 100 tools.  

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.
