Five-axis capability
July 1st 2007

SFM Technology has installed a BRM 80-150 CNC bridge mill from XYZ Machine Tools, equipped with a five-axis spindle head, a Delcam PowerMill CAD/CAM system, and a Faro seven-axis articulated portable arm CMN with Delcam PowerInspect software. Fitted, as standard, with a 24 hp high torque vector drive spindle capable of 8000 rev/min (up to 24,000 rev/min optional), the recently installed bridge mill is the largest of the six models in the range. It accommodates workpieces weighing up to 2270kg on its 2030mm by 3810mm table. X, Y and Z axis traverses are 3810mm, 2030mm and 710mm, respectively, and rapid traverse in all three axes is 25 m/min. The programmable head provides five-axis simultaneous capability.
