At the first stroke

Mollart Engineering has developed a new generation of 80mm deep hole boring heads for a specialist subcontract production contract that will virtually encompass the 2,000mm stroke of the recently developed 5-axis Mollart Centeplex dual spindle machining centre.

The Centeplex cost some £750,000 to engineer and develop and has the ability to produce inclined holes and features on a component up to ±15° using the 20kW, ISO 50 taper driven spindle which is fully programmable within the overall machining cycle.

The machine will also accommodate traditional machining centre cycles from its over/under shotgun style spindle arrangement with the spindle fed from a 60 tool magazine.

Centeplex has a table size of 2,000mm by 2,740mm with a 16 tonne load capacity. It has full CNC positioning over the axis strokes of 1,800mm in X and 1,325mm in Y.
