Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin – The USC-M series of 7-axis deep-hole drilling and machining centers improve productivity and throughput by integrating mold manufacturing operations into one machine for efficient processing of four-sided parts a single set-up.
The USC-M series machines use two independent spindles – one for gundrilling and BTA drilling and a second CAT 50 machining spindle. When this additional capability is combined with a rotatory workpiece table and programmable headstock inclination, accurate deep-hole drilling and standard high-performance milling, contouring and compound angle machining capabilities are available within the working envelope of the system.
The seven axes of control on the M-Series machines utilize the B-, A-, X-, Y-, and Z-axis for 5-axis machining operations, the W-axis for the combined gundrilling and BTA deep-hole drilling spindle, and the U-axis for machining. This provides 3-plus-2 machining capabilities to reduce setups and eliminate changeovers to multiple machines.
