A company evolving with the marketCMS Group is a highly specialized, many-sided concern, providing solution oriented industrial equipment for the aerospace-market making possible the machining of a wide range of aluminum, plastic and composite components, and for waterjet cutting as well.The presence of its subsidiaries worldwide and the excellent ratio between the investment required and product performances make CMS the ideal partner for large international groups and for the need to keep up with the evolution of this market - as well as CMS’s uninterrupted technical research, along with the constant innovation of its machines for the aerospace sector.CMS’s standing in this market has been further consolidated by the addition of the company Tecnocut to the CMS group, one of the leading fi rms in the development of waterjet cutting systems.Innovative design, high quality mechanics and reliable components are the mainstay of a fully implemented customer-oriented satisfaction strategy.UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 certifi cation vouch for CMS’s products and services.

.THE COMPANY

Customized solutionsCMS history as a producer of specialized machines began with the natural methodology of carefully studying the needs of each single customer, in order to develop ad hoc production systems, always top-ranked in terms of technology, productivity and quality.Within the various industrial activities of a manufacturing plant, a machine alone hardly ever represents the solution for production requirements. Software, fi xtures, clamping systems, chip/dust collection, piece movement - and most of all - experience and willingness to support the customer are the necessary ingredients to achieve targets.A deep knowledge of production processes, along with fi rst-rate technologies and products, enable CMS to provide a substantial help to customers, while at the same time proposing and designing production systems, with solutions which are often customized.

.03Leading the state-of-the-art technology

FEM (Finite Element Method)The structural dimensioning is executed through a sophisticated fi nite element computation program (FEA), which also tests the dynamic loads on machine elements, enabling CMS to design structures and choose motion systems (precision guides and roller recirculation sliding blocks) that grant greater operation power, geometrical accuracy and reliability of high-speed machining, even in case of heavy work loads.

Thermal stabilityMachining accuracy and quality are further enhanced by the thermal symmetry of the machine structure.The precision racks fi tted directly on the structure, next to the ball recirculating guides and the position transducers, keep the tempera-ture of the moving parts steady, thus obtaining high thermal stability as well as the total absence of system torsional instability, even in the case of the heaviest machining.

High quality accuracy and repeatability on all axesLinear and rotating direct encoders inductive type, resistant to all dust and magnetic interferences.Laser alignments and ball-bar test.

Brake system on fi ve-axis working unitFive-axis working unit equipped with pneumatic brakes for fi xing the two rotating axis position during the machining operations which do not require these axes to be interpolated; this makes possible higher stiffness.

Kinematics with double driving motor on linear axesDriving motion system composed of double-gantry brushless motors. Positioning accuracy of linear axes is guaranteed by the motion transmission, provided by a precision rack-and-pinion, reduction gear and motor system, which permits backlash recovery and rigidity increase thanks to a preloaded pair of pinions on both coupled motors.

New fi ve axis working unit with direct drive tech-nology (Torque Motors)The twist unit with direct drive (no drive assembly between servo-motor and axis motion) is the ultimate state-of-the-art innovation for a Five axis working unit, which dramatically increases and improves the machine’s overall dynamic performances in 5-axis continuous operation.The Direct Drive architecture (torque motors), integrated with radial-axial bearings of high precision and rigidity, enables maximum precision and dynamic response of the rotating axes. The absence of mechanical control parts subject to wear guarantees that the machine will maintain its performance without the need of corrective intervention. The positioning accuracy is guaranteed by precision a encoder (double sensor for each rotating axis) fi tted directly on the bearing rest.

Leading CNC technology, latest Fanuc Digital CNC controlThe Fanuc series control system is designed for high performan-ce machines requiring a large number of axes, multiple-channel, complex and extremely fast functions, based on the demands of machine tool operators.The Fanuc control is ideal for machine operators who expect that ‘something extra’ from a CNC control system.Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, it offers many features:• Control of up to 40 axes, 24 of which may be simultaneously

interpolated.• Up to 8 MB internal program – ideal for large programs e.g. Die &

Mould.• 25-nanoseconds-per-step execution time for PMC (machine inter-

face) programs.• Up to three PMC programs executed at the same time, with up to

4096 digital inputs and outputs.• Faster interpolation time and up to 1000 look-ahead blocks for

accurate contour control.

Remote Diagnostics via tele and video-serviceIt makes possible the display of the machine status from any autho-rized PC, so that both the operator from a remote location and CMS technicians (directly from CMS) can supervise and assist machine operation.The link can be done through an analogical phone line to be con-nected to an analogical modem available in the machine standard confi guration or through as video camera.The remote diagnostic package permits the operator to check and modify on-line machine confi gurations, parameters and programs, therefore making remote support assistance possible.
