Breton MATRIX 800K16/2T VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Breton MATRIX 800K16/2T is a high-performance 5-axis vertical machining center designed for precision milling of medium to large workpieces in steel, aluminum, composites, and resin. The machine features a 78.7" x 78.7" table supporting substantial workpieces, with travel dimensions of 63" on the Y-axis and 31.5" on the Z-axis, and a rotary A axis offering 210° of movement for complex 5-axis operations. A vertical spindle with an HSK63A taper operates at speeds up to 28,000 RPM, with an optional spindle speed of 18,000 RPM and power ratings of 27 HP (30-minute duty) and up to 54 HP available as an option, providing the flexibility for a range of milling tasks from high-speed finishing to heavy cutting. The machine is equipped with a 30-position automatic tool changer using a wheel-type carousel for efficient tool management. Its robust gantry structure and electro arc-welded, heat-treated frame with structural ribbing ensure high rigidity and vibration damping for optimal accuracy and surface finish. The MATRIX 800K16/2T excels in dynamic performance with rapid traverse rates and high acceleration to maximize productivity. Features include direct drive motors on rotary axes, enhanced thermal stability, and user-friendly CNC control, making it suitable for aerospace, die & mold, and composite industries requiring precision and speed in a compact footprint. Safety and ergonomic design facilitate easy access for loading/unloading, while the machine’s thermal symmetric structure ensures consistent machining accuracy under varying operational conditions.
