SHW UF6 L7 RT HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The SHW UF6 L7 RT Horizontal Machining Center is equipped with a high-performance Fidia C10 CNC control system, featuring a 15" LCD TFT display and an intuitive pushbutton panel with handwheel for precise manual and automated operation. This control architecture uses separate processors for real-time axis and PLC management, enabling advanced interpolation up to 9 axes and supporting analog and digital drives, gantry, tandem, and synchronous axis configurations. The machine's spindle configuration includes dual pick-up common high-frequency (HF) spindles, optimized for rigid, efficient machining processes. It supports multi-axis operations, specifically C and A rotary axes, facilitating complex 5-axis machining capabilities essential for precision parts with multiple angular surfaces or features. The numeric control's modular design and software versatility allow integration with advanced programming, measurement, and monitoring applications, enhancing productivity and operational safety with real-time collision avoidance systems like ViMill. This combination delivers outstanding positioning accuracy and high-speed milling suitable for small to medium-sized components or complex geometries. The SHW UF6 L7 RT’s horizontal orientation allows for efficient chip evacuation and easier workpiece handling, enabling extended machining time and improved surface finish. This machining center is ideal for applications requiring simultaneous multi-axis control in aerospace, automotive, and mold & die manufacturing environments, providing a blend of robust mechanical performance and cutting-edge CNC technology for optimal manufacturing flexibility and process control.
