+GF+ MIKRON HPM 1850U VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The +GF+ Mikron HPM 1850U is a 5-axis vertical machining center designed for high-precision, flexible manufacturing of complex and large workpieces. It features a robust, one-piece cast machine bed with high torsional rigidity and stability, supporting workpieces up to 5,000 kg and pallet loads up to 1,750 kg, enabling heavy-duty machining with precise control. The working travel measures 72.8 inches (X), 55.1 inches (Y), and 28.3 inches (Z), providing a spacious machining envelope. The spindle is a high-torque motor spindle operating at up to 15,000 RPM with an HSK-A63 taper, optimizing tool life and machining efficiency across a range of materials and cutting conditions. The machine includes hydraulically adjustable pallets for ergonomic loading/unloading without the need for platforms, enhancing operator safety and workflow. The B and C rotary axes can be clamped together for rough machining, improving process security. Equipped with the HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 CNC control, the HPM 1850U offers advanced contouring capabilities, adaptive feed control, and touch probe cycles for workpiece measurement and kinematics optimization, enabling precise 5-axis simultaneous machining and efficient programming. The machine's design minimizes thermal distortion through an interconnected mechanical gantry and fast thermal stabilization, ensuring repeatability and accuracy. The large distance between guideways (>800 mm in X-axis) ensures stability during heavy cutting. Automation features include a pallet magazine with multiple positions for efficient workpiece changeover and continuous production. This machining center is ideal for aerospace, automotive, and mold and die industries requiring accuracy, flexibility, and heavy-duty performance.
