Operational flexibility is maximised for complex cycles with two gang vertical toolposts each with X-, Y- and Z- axes and one with a B-axis capable of both front and back machining. In addition, there is a back toolpost and opposite toolpost with a tool capacity of up to 59 tools with the added advantage of a removable guide bush for more economic material use on shorter components.
The Cincom D25-VIII is configured as a 10-axis sliding headstock, 25mm capacity machine which also incorporates the added flexibility of 0° to 135° swivelling B-axis. This swivel axis is incorporated within the first (X1, Y1, Z1) axis gang toolpost, capable of holding four double-sided driven spindles to service both the main and sub-spindles.
In addition, a second gang toolpost (X2, Y2, Z2) is able to work independently or simultaneously with the (X1, Y1, Z1) toolpost to overlap for instance, rough or finish turning operations or apply drilling or milling based cycles in unison.
Meanwhile, further flexibility for the tooling application is a (Y3) back toolpost axis with one fixed or three driven tools having 90° adjustment for face, radial or angle machining while the opposite toolpost is positioned alongside the sub-spindle (X3, Z3) to provide a further two fixed tool positions.
The power of the main spindle is 5.5kW and 3.7kW for the 25mm capacity sub-spindle with both having a maximum speed of 10,000rpm. The gang driven tools are powered by drives of 2.2kW with maximum speeds of 9,000rpm and the back driven tool speeds are 6,000rpm. Rapid traverse rates are 32m/minute with 24m/minute available on the Z2 gang toolpost.
