Machine of the Month:<br>The 595/3 machining center
The 3-axes machining center has a closed frame construction. The X, Y and Z axes are equipped with highly precise linear guides, which are covered by bellows. The axes are driven by dynamic servo-motors. Two synchronized servo-motors ensure precise and rectilinear guidance of the machine bridge. For the X and Y axis, clearance-free rack-and-pinion gears are applied, while the Z axis has a circulating ball spindle. The tool slide automatically tilts in both directions, making the unit capable of producing inclined drain surfaces.
The machine offers movement of 390 cm on the X axis (cross tool slide); 155 cm on the Y axis (machine bridge); and 30 cm on the Z axis (vertical tool slide). The tool magazine can hold 24 tools, and the working space has a length of 320 cm, a width of 142 cm and a height of 30 cm.
