Fidia GR996RT VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The Fidia GR996RT Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance 5-axis CNC machine designed for precision milling of complex geometries. It features a robust cast iron structure with a self-supporting gantry design to ensure dynamic stability and thermal control during high-speed machining. The machine includes a vertical spindle with an HSK-63A taper capable of speeds up to 24,000 RPM (optionally 32,000 RPM) and delivers 40.23 HP for powerful, accurate cutting. The standard table measures 23.62" x 23.62", with an optional larger table of 31.5" x 31.5", supporting workpieces up to 1,323 lbs. The machine’s five axes include linear travels of 33.46" (X), 37.4" (Y), and 23.62" (Z), with an A-axis rotary stroke of 225°. The tool changer has 24 tool positions, expandable to 60, facilitating efficient multi-tool operations. Feed rates and rapid traverse speeds reach up to 1,171 ipm on all linear axes. Thermal stability is maintained via coolant flow through hollow ball screws and active monitoring of motor and structural temperatures. The machine integrates torque motors on the trunnion-type rotary table to enhance precision for 5-axis simultaneous machining. The Fidia C20 CNC control system provides advanced real-time processing with Intel Core i7 and RISC PowerPC architecture, enabling sophisticated tool path management and RTCP for superior accuracy. This versatile center is widely used in aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing sectors where high precision, rigidity, and flexibility are critical.
