MULTI-FLEX

 5-axis High speed Machining Centre

 

MACHINE CONCEPT

 

The MULTI-FLEX is a 5-axis machine equipped with a high speed spindle motor, which can mill, drill, tap and saw tubes, profiles and extrusions in aluminium, steel, wood, vinyl and composites.

Products: MULTI-FLEX: CNC

The component is clamped on the machine bed and remains stationary while the gantry moves over the component.

 

APPLICATIONS

Companies :

  1. Processing long and/or large tubes, profiles and extrusions.
  2. Using conventional methods that require multiple set-ups.

Products :

    • Window/Doors/Conservatories, Lighting
    • Trailers, Aerospace, Automotive and Rail industry
    • Curtain walls

 

PROFILE 3D PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

 

Mubea Systems has developed a 3D software “Profile 3D” allowing easy programming in each plane (including both ends) all of the machining requirements such as drill, mill, flow-drill, tap and saw.


An optional feature is the programming and the simulation of curved components.


An optional feature is the ability to perform time studies on work pieces.


The software can cope with nested profiles.

 

The office software has its own design package including a 3D production simulation and collision control.

 

 

CLAMPING OF THE COMPONENTS

 

We offer a selection of either 6, 8, 10 or 12 clamps. The gantry or the NC via servo motors automatically positions each clamp.

TOOL MAGAZINE WITH TOOL CHANGE ARM

 

The machine has a chain magazine for 18 tools with a tool change arm, in which the following tool is prepared automatically.

 

MAXIMUM DIMENSIONS OF THE COMPONENT

 

The MULTI-FLEX takes components up to 7,550 x 500 x 370 mm when working on 5 planes.

 

When the underside is to be machined then the component dimensions are limited to 7,550 x 500 x 270 mm.

 

Vertical faces can be machined up to 7,550 x 1,250 x 420 mm. Optional, the machine can be equipped with a vacuum table.

CUTTING HEAD

 

The machine is equipped with a water-cooled motor. The motor produces 16 kW (S1), 19.6 kW (S6) and takes HSK-F63 tool holders.


The motor is on both sides supported. The motor can tilt (A-axis) between -115° / +115° and it can rotate (C-axis) between -200° / +200°.

 

The standard speed of the spindle is  22,000 rpm, with standard Cronidur bearings.

 

NC SIEMENS 840D CONTROL

 

We use the latest Siemens NC840D - PCU50 with Celeron 1.2 Ghz processor, 256 MB Ram with 15" TFT colour screen.


The Profile 3D software is available on the Siemens control with 3D simulation.


An OEM screen informs the operator how to load the component.

 

We also offer a Siemens Sinumeric service contract with a validation of 1 up to 5 years.

Some important advantages for your company after purchase
MULTI-Flex

 

REDUCED HANDLING COSTS: As there is no need to move the component from one machine to another and each component can be machined in one set-up. This results in a reduction of production time and a lower production cost (=component cost).Using the nesting software, multiple components can be produced from one long profile.

 

REDUCTION OF LABOUR COST: One person can operate the MULTI-FLEX compared to 5 to 6 people required to operate conventional machinery. The savings in set-up time alone are significant.

 

IMPROVED ACCURACY: Machining the component on the high precision MULTI-FLEX eliminates the human and machining errors of conventional machining methods. Improved accuracy means reduced assembly times.

 

GREATER DESIGN FLEXIBILITY: The versatility of the machine and software enables designers to be more creative and the production department to develop better assembly techniques. The MULTI-FLEX is at the forefront of technology and will open new markets for all users.
