Automobile manufacturers can develop ever more sophisticated car body molds because they can rely on 5-axis portal machines as the backbone of automotive tool and die making. The aerospace industry achieves unprecedented part quality thanks to full technology integration of milling, turning and grinding, ensuring maximum passenger safety. Thanks to 5-axis technology in large format, portal machines ensure that hydroelectric power can be converted into energy. Mechanical engineering also benefits worldwide from portal machines from Pfronten, which repeatedly demonstrate their performance in demanding machining operations such as gear production. DMG Mori has more than 1,400 Portal machines installed worldwide.
German Machine Tools of America (GMTA) is now selling Profilator 300-V with linear drives in the North American market.
This modular machine platform used to cut gears, is equipped with one or two workpiece spindles in a compact design. It offers maximum flexibility due to modular design and is individually configurable for various machining processes (i.e. Scudding, hobbing, cycloidal milling, pointing, chamfering and deburring). State-of-the-art linear drives in the x and y axis, as well as a torque drive in the a axis offers high machine dynamics for short cycle times and maximum accuracy/low costs. High machine rigidity is available for Hard Scudding of inner and outer diameters.
Heavy duty cutting places particular requirements on the machine and working processes. If this involves a material such as titanium, which is particularly hard to cut, specific know-how is necessary to deal with these requirements. Thanks to its expertise, WFL Millturn Technologies GmbH & Co. KG impresses in this field with a machining solution for aircraft landing gear.
