#BehindTheScenes at Laro NC - 📽️ Laro NC-Technik has invested in a 5-axis milling machine from FPT with Sinumerik One control. 🚚It took less than two months from the delivery of the first parts in Illmensee to the first workpiece. Managing Director Ralf Eberhard: "We wanted a powerful machine with a stable control system. We wanted a flexible machine that could process aluminium and steel alternately. And we wanted a precise machine that would set us up well for the future. 💪We have all that now."
The FPT machine, which is now located at Laro NC in Illmensee, is a Dinomax machining centre with a movable crossbeam in gantry design. Equipped with
⚙️Siemens linear motors
⚙️Sinamics-S120 frequency inverters
⚙️leistungsfähige Sinumerik One machine tool control system
📐Travel path of 6,000 x 3,500 x 1500 mm
With a spindle change head, an SK50 with 8,000 revolutions per minute and a 🌟HSK63 with 22,000 revolutions per minute, as well as a tool magazine with 240 slots that can hold, among other things, an impressive 35-kilo milling tool measuring 610 mm in length and 100 mm in diameter, the FPT Dinomax achieves a metal removal rate in aluminium of up to 9,000 cm3 ⏱️pro minute.
Even more important for Laro NC than these impressive figures is the fact that the machine can change the milling spindle fully automatically at any time within three minutes 🦾 with perfect repeat accuracy in the μ range.
