5-axis angle head vertical machining center for die and mold

SIRIUS 5AX Series

Built to order. Ask for lead time.

Overview

3,300 x 2,000 mm table, 3,100 / 2,300 / 1,000 mm travel with a 5-axis head

The SIRIUS-2500 5AX is a double-column 5-axis vertical machining center for large dies and molds, with the B and C axes in the head. Hwacheon builds it for large display panel molds and automotive and aerospace components that need many processes in one setup. Travel is 3,100 / 2,300 / 1,000 mm over a 3,300 x 2,000 mm table rated for 10,000 kgf, on a box-way feed system with Hwacheon's air floating system. The head tilts ±100° on B and turns ±210° on C, carrying a 15,000 rpm BBT-40 spindle with a 40-tool magazine.

At a glance

X / Y / Z travel: 122.0 / 90.6 / 39.4 in
Table size: 129.9 x 78.7 in
Spindle: BBT-40, 15,000 rpm
Tool capacity: 40
Control: FANUC 31i-B Plus

Features

01Direct-drive headThe B and C axes in the head are driven directly by motors with high precision encoders and no gears, for 0.001° angle division and 30 rpm rapid. Brake torque is 3,000 Nm on B and 4,000 Nm on C.
02Symmetrical portal frameDouble columns in a symmetrical portal spread vibration, weight and heat across the frame. Feed runs on box ways with Hwacheon's air floating system.
0310,000 kgf tableThe 3,300 x 2,000 mm table carries 10,000 kgf, with 9 T-slots at 200 mm pitch and 2,300 mm between columns.
04Nitrogen gas balanceNitrogen-filled cylinders on each side of the head frame offset the weight of the Z-axis unit. It is standard.
05Hwacheon softwareHTDC (spindle and frame displacement control), HECC contour control, HTLD tool load detection, OPTIMA feed optimization and HRCC rotation center calibration with a Renishaw touch probe are all standard. HRCC sets the 5-axis pivot point in under one minute.
06Full enclosureA full-enclosure cover is standard. Its slide door can be opened from the opposite side when setting up a large workpiece.
