Three new machines launched for machining graphite

GF Machining Solutions has introduced three new machines aimed at specifically machining graphite.

The high-speed Mikron Mill S 400 or 500 Graphite and Mikron HSM 500 Graphite are intended for producing components such as glass moulds and electrodes used in information and communications technology (ICT), automotive, electronic component, aerospace and packaging sectors.

The 3-axis Mikron Mill S 400/500 Graphite machines are aimed at machining graphite mould tools.

As ambient temperatures fluctuate in machine shops and machining speeds change, process stability is maintained through the machine’s intelligent thermal management system and thermo-stable machine body.

Precision and stability at the tool tip are ensured by the Step-Tec HVC140 spindle, with speeds ranging up to 42,000rpm and 13.5kW of power.

As well as providing a best-in-class solution for graphite, the machines can also handle a range of other materials which increases the versatility and appeal.

The Mikron HSM 500 Graphite, with its simple and compact design, is ideal for dry machining graphite. The machine’s Step-Tec HVC140 spindle (42,000rpm) and integrated high-efficiency dust extraction system ensure fast part production and process optimisation and, when integrated with a System 3R WorkPartner (WPT1+) part-changing robot, the productivity potential of this manufacturing cell increases significantly.
