Description

Mecal MC 304 Ariel 5 Axis

Ariel-5 is a 5 axis gantry type vertical spindle CNC machining center, ideal for curtain walls and window walls profiles, but with great flexibility for any other in industrial sector.

For high speed machining of Aluminum – Steel – Brass – Copper and PVC materials. The standard MMI version has individually motorized vices that simultaneously move into position for the next operation and with the optional MAM equipment can move during cycle.

The Ariel-5-MDT is a complete machining solution that is able to cut the pieces to length, using the MDT clamp system independently and move the cut pieces to determined locations within the machine to allow end machining as well as the normal face and side workings. The Ariel-5-MDT can be used in numerous applications including, windows-doors and curtain walling, automotive to aerospace, engineering, internal partitions, sign manufacturing, air conditioning and refrigeration. We have installed these machines for a very diverse range of applications including; machining slots, pockets, holes, custom shapes, end slotting , tapping and rigid tapping, drilling and flow drilling.

Subject to technical changes

5 Axis Machining
Ability to work 3 sides and both ends and any intermediate angle. A sawblade can operate along the X axis or across the Y axis in either the horizontal or vertical plane. Mitre cuts are also possible.
Spindle
Quality HSD liquid cooled spindle ES779 10kw with HSK-F63 for automatic tool change. 24000rpm with encoder for rigid tapping applications. HSD have worldwide service and great representation in USA.
External magazine + Blade
External magazine + saw blade of max diameter 450 mm (inches 17.71)
Gantry structure
Gantry type structure to guarantee stability for heavy duty application
Loading Zones
The Atlas machine have a dual zone feature as standard. The machine can work in PENDULUM mode any job in either zone, or as one job using the full length of the machine
Safety
The machine is supplied with a mesh fence on rear and both ends with a laser scanner attached to the moving carriage. Different from a light barrier which will shut down the operation immediately, the scanner can be configured to gradually slow down as the obstacle approached. If the object is cleared the process will continue without stopping and need to re set.
Tool Magazine
12 position automatic tool magazine is mounted centrally to reduce tool change times to an absolute minimum.
Mecal CAD CAM 3D
Designed to be the most advanced and easy to use system currently available. All of the basic programming is available with pre-loaded macros which are applied by a simple drag and drop process. The graphical 3D presentation is a clear and accurate representation that can be viewed from any angle to check for errors, and it demonstrates the orientation for the workpiece to be correctly loaded.
MAB cycle
Clamps works as feeding unit, and the spindle equipped with sawblade, cut small pieces
Centre Stops
The optional pneumatic centre stops combine with the standard end stops to allow loading of 4 pieces.
Simulator Software
Job simulator software which shows an accurate simulation of the actual job in real time very graphically. Indicating timings and potential process errors.
Belt Conveyor
A rubberised belt conveyor to transport captured swarf and offcut pieces to the end of the machine where a collection container can be placed.
Swarf Drawers
Set mobile of steel swarf collection drawers
Remote operating terminal
KEBA KeTOP 20 hand held remote is virtually a mirror of the production page, for controlling feed speed to aid set up and checking jobs on long bed machines, it also shows the precise distance of the tool from the work piece in real time.
Bar Code Reader
For receiving job data when integrated with a double mitre saw that has the thermal label printer. The job data is usually provided by external software.
Tool presetting
Automatic tool length measuring device
Multidirectional Probe
Multi directional probe with detection based on XYZ axis orientation
Clamping Choices
MMI-this choice has each clamp motorised to move individually to position. MDT-this choice has each clamp motorised in a different way, they are more powerful and now each clamp is an additional axis. For example you can have 4 programs for individual components (eg parts for a window sash) the process will saw each piece to length, mitred if required then separate the elements to allow machining of 3 sides and ends if required. Both versions have 8 clamps as standard, additional items can be added to suit application.
External Connections
We have the ability to connect to many external window packages (including Schucal-Logikal) sometimes a linking program is required at additional cost. The converter imports IGES files in completed SW CAD 3D and creates the program to process the job. This function is in high demand from industrial clients using Inventor-Solid Works and Solid Edge type programs.
