Compact vertical machining centre July 1st 2009 CNC Heads combines
engineering technology with
hands-on race experience to
design, replicate and
manufacture cylinder heads
for race and road cars.
The manufacturing process
uses an XYZMini Mill 560
compact vertical machining
centre, with the resulting
machined finish described by
CNC Heads as 'superbly
smooth, visually and to the
touch'.
The concept behind the
XYZ Mini Mill 560 is a
compact VMC configuration
capable of machining the
widest possible range of
components within the
smallest possible footprint.
Hence the 560 (X) by 400 (Y)
by 500mm (650mm optional)
(Z) working envelope that is
contained within a 2000 by
2060mm footprint.
The standard machine
weighs 3100kg, with its
Meehanite ribbed cast iron
construction ensuring that
full use can be made of the
15hp (11 kW)/8000 rev/min
(12,000 rev/min optional) BT
40 spindle. More articles from XYZ Machine Tools Limited: |
