Gantry Milling Machine Powermill

Overview

Gantry Milling Machine Powermill is described as a universal machining centre for medium/large parts and for the efficient machining of bulky and heavy workpieces. The machine uses a box-in-box structure for high precision and is made in the Heart of Europe. The design is presented as massive yet agile, with a simple design to allow easy positioning, set up and clamping of the workpiece. Travel in X/Y/Z is specified as X: 6000 mm and over/Y: 4000-5000-6000-7000 mm/Z: 1500-2000-2500 mm, with an Axes feed rate of 30 m/min. A Longitudinal axis travel of 32000 mm is stated for at least one configuration. Available options and systems listed include an automatic head changer, double CNC platform, 120-pocket tool changer, and tool cooling system. EMCONNECT is included in the standard machine and allows switching between emcoNNECT apps and the control system with a single click; production-relevant data can be displayed in full-screen or sidebar view. Control options cited are Sinumerik ONE with Operate and Heidenhain TNC 640 HSCI. The Sinumerik ONE is described as a universal and flexible CNC system that sets standards in dynamics, precision and integrability in networks and integrates a digital twin as an integral part of the CNC control. The Heidenhain TNC 640 HSCI is designed to simplify programming on the shop floor and is compatible with DIN/ISO programming standards. Explicit use cases listed include machining bulky and heavy workpieces and medium/large parts across applications "from aerospace to general engineering." Specific operations described are milling operation on a machine tool structure component, drilling and tapping through the universal milling head on a general engineering component, and finishing on a rotary table. Other stated use cases include Powermill in the RGM configuration dedicated to rails machining and milling operation on a machinery component for the wood industry. The Gantry Milling Machine with a longitudinal axis travel of 32000 mm is noted as being used in general engineering.
