GF AgieCharmilles Promotes Development of High-Efficiency Processing Technology

Today, high-speed machining (HSC) technology has been widely recognized and applied by people. In the past decade, the technology in machine tools and applications has reached new heights.

However, the Mikron machining center under the Swiss GF AgieCharmilles Group is not satisfied with the existing HSC technology. It has actively developed HPM (High Performance Machining) high-performance machining technology, which not only changes the weaknesses of high-speed machining and cutting, but also retains the advantages of high-speed machining for hard material processing and high workpiece surface finish. GF Agiesha Mill called it "the combination of traditional processing intelligence and high-speed processing technology", which opened a new chapter for manufacturing processing.

High-performance machine tools

To fully utilize its advantages in the implementation or use of HPM technology, all aspects of the machine tool, tooling, and software must be coordinated to achieve this, but the relevant equipment on the market does not fully satisfy HPM's rigidity, speed, and stability of the machine tool. Sexual requirements. In this regard, the GF AgieCharmilles-Mikron machining center issued a representative MIKRON HPM 600 HD high-performance machining center at its headquarters in Switzerland earlier this year.

“Because of the new powerful spindle and the highly rigid concrete structure of the machine, the HPM600HD in its class can very well combine the highest material removal rates with good surface finishes.” Swiss GF Archie Mr. Rainer Hungerbuhler, general manager of South China Charmilles Group, spoke in an interview.


Mr. Rainer Hungerbuhler, General Manager, Southern China, GF AgieCharmilles Group, Switzerland, interviewed by the reporter The MIKRON HPM600 HD is equipped with the latest vector control in-line motorized spindle with a speed of up to 20,000 rpm. Its high torque design is particularly suitable for applications where large amounts of chips are removed. Moreover, from the base of the equipment, the machining center uses artificial granite structures that are 2 to 4 times more shock-absorbing capacity and 4 to 6 times lower in deformation rate than ordinary cast irons. The base weight weighs 5,700 kg, providing excellent static for machine tools. Rigidity, absorbs and reduces vibrations caused by movement and rotation of all axes, ensures the accuracy of the machine tool for long-term use, and provides sufficient support for high dynamic and high-strength machining conditions.

"Not only is the milling speed fast, but the tool change time of the HPM600 HD is reduced to only 1 second thanks to the use of a two-arm tool changer." Rainer Hungerbuhler emphasized the advantages of this new machine, "plus the host design. The modular concept of this makes our company's newest HPM600HD suitable for a very wide range of applications, from single-component processing to full-automatic processing.

The design highlights of the HPM600HD are numerous. It is worth mentioning is its feed system, the use of a large diameter ball screw, with direct drive design, the maximum axial force of 6,000 Newton; the fastest feed rate of 40m/min, axial acceleration can also be reached 7m/s2, while maintaining a good surface finish of the workpiece, can also solve the common disadvantages of direct drive design.

"This machine is particularly suitable for the mold industry processing and high-quality high-value parts processing." Rainer confidently laughed, "As long as you need high precision and good surface processing quality, with our HPM600HD with a solid design and high dynamic spindle motor, It will definitely give you a satisfactory result!"

Looking at the Chinese market

After the release of New Products at the beginning of this year, this new machine has been sold to the global market, and China is no exception. The new HPM600HD will be released on September 5 in South China. “As one of our strategic sprint targets, we are to become a strong and reliable partner in this market. We firmly believe that this trend will not change, and our strength can also fully support this goal.” Rainer said .

Rainer Hungerbuhler told the author that GF AgieCharmilles has a leading edge in product reliability, high precision, and high performance. It also has two very important competencies: "First, we can provide for tool and die manufacturing. And a full range of machine tools, automation solutions and services for precision parts processing, including electrical discharge machines, high-speed milling centers, high-performance milling centers, and fixture and pallet systems, services, spare parts, consumables, and automation solutions."

Second, "We have set up branches in more than 50 countries and regions in the world and provide services to customers through our well-established and experienced service centers," he said.

"China's manufacturing industry is developing at a rapid pace. We are honored to have participated in this dizzying growth process." Rainer said quite happily, "In fact, our growth rate exceeds everyone's expectations."

Although China’s manufacturing industry faced well-known challenges and difficulties in 2008, “From our customers, companies that produce high-tech and high-quality products still maintain a good momentum of development.” He said, “I think, This situation is a fact in all industrial fields. In particular, the mold market in Guangdong is gradually being transformed into a mature market. Therefore, the requirements for improving efficiency and productivity in companies will become more and more important," Rainer said by way of example. , Decades ago, European users have been constantly working on the improvement of production efficiency and productivity under the drive of the times, and now they have achieved a high degree of automation; in contrast, Chinese users are still lacking in this respect.

Rainer said that in the future, the company will further consolidate its deployment in China and strengthen customer service and application support. In addition, he also revealed that GF AgieCharmilles will activate milling center production in China as soon as possible.
