Study notes

  • Control and software alternatives listed: MAPPS and Fanuc.
  • Rapid traverse rates stated per axis: 30 m/min X, 20 m/min Y, 50 m/min Z.
  • BMT milling speed is up to 12,000 min-1; standard speed is 6,000 min-1.
  • Up to 16 tools can be mounted on each turret.
  • ORC (Octagonal Ram Construction) is used on Turret 2 Y-axis to increase rigidity; a turtleneck structure prevents chip accumulation on Turret 2.
  • High-resolution direct scale feedback is an option.
