5-sides/5-axes Simultaneous Machining
The VTM machine is characterized by an additional unique technology: The double C-axes interpolation. Using this technology a linear Y-axis functionality is realized by the simultaneous interpolation of the rotary table C-axis and an axis-parallel CY-axis integrated in the tool adapter of the RAM unit. This technology has the following advantages:
- Flexible 5-sides/5-axes machining in combination with an ELHA HV swivel milling head
- Extremely space efficient because of the elimination of an Y-axis
- Extremely accurate with the precise SDD rotary table C-axis drive and the CY-axis drive directly integrated into the RAM
HV Swivel Milling Head
For the VTM series ELHA offers a horizontal-vertical swivel head with modern drive technology. The two available sizes can be used for various applications:
- 500×500 for light- and medium-duty cubic machining
- 600×600 for heavy-duty cubic machining
