Technical Description
The PAT MOONEY PMI-CNC S-TYPE 5-AXIS Vertical Machining Center is a high-precision CNC machining platform designed for milling, drilling, tapping, and saw-cutting aluminum and other non-ferrous materials like copper, brass, and plastics. It features a robust 10.05 hp spindle motor with a maximum speed of 20,000 RPM and an HSK63 tool holder, supporting a 12-position automatic tool changer for versatile tooling. The machine offers a Y-axis travel of 27.55 inches and a Z-axis travel of 14 inches, enabling complex multi-axis machining with ±220 degrees C-axis rotary movement and ±120 degrees A-axis rotation for 5-axis simultaneous machining capabilities. The X-axis travel ranges from 137.76 to 295 inches, accommodating long and short scale processing. The worktable supports 4 to 10 vises with automatic movement and a maximum holding power of 242 lbs per vise. Rapid traverse rates reach up to 196.8 feet per minute for the X-axis, and 78.72 feet per minute for the Y and Z axes, ensuring rapid positioning and high throughput. Precision is enhanced by servo-controlled X, Y, Z, A, and C axes with linear guideways and ball screws, maintaining positioning accuracy down to 0.0008 inches (0.02 mm). Additional features include a built-in spindle with low vibration and backlash, an automatic disk-type tool magazine, mist lubrication, and a dual-zone processing system to optimize production efficiency. With a machine weight between 11,000 and 17,600 lbs depending on configuration, it is suitable for aerospace, automotive, and aluminum extrusion industries requiring precise, multi-axis profile machining.
