Five-Axis, Bridge-Type Machining Center
Share





The RB-200F five-axis, bridge-type machining center is said to offer efficient and accurate machining of complex parts. The machine is suited for die and mold applications; multi-angle milling and drilling; and contour milling and flat machining. General-purpose applications include aluminum rotor castings, stainless steel machinery components, crank cases and wood or plastic patterns. Â
The machine provides rigidity with sturdy spindle head and ram assemblies as well as cast iron, cast steel and steel weldment construction. The machine is available in two 50-taper spindle versions. One offers power rated at 30/25 kW and speed from 40 to 10,000 rpm; the other offers 55/50 kW and 150 to 15,000 rpm. Â
The machine’s table size measures 79" × 157" and has a load capacity of more than 33,000 lbs (15,400 lbs for the high speed machine version). The X-, Y-, Z- and W-axis travels are 167" × 114" × 23.6" × 33.5". The cutting feed rates in X and Y axes are 394 ipm (590 ipm is offered as option). Â
Spindle head rotation in the B axis is ±95 degrees and ±360 degrees in the C axis (continuous rotation is optional). Standard features include a 40-tool ATC, through-the-tool coolant delivery, chip conveyors, splash guards and a Fanuc 30i CNC.
