Contents
GF AgieCharmilles presents newreference machines in 3-axis and 5-axis versions for high-speedmilling.
Based on the concept of the presentHSM series, GF AgieCharmillesengineers have developed three newmachine models which represent
optimal answers to all aspects of 3-axis and 5-axis high-speed millingneeds. The HSM LP series (LP = Line-ar Performance) were designed forultimate precision and supreme sur-face quality. The necessary designmeasures focus on the machine bed,cooling, axis drives, motion controland tool measurement.
These vertical high-speed machiningcenters, developed for tool and moldmanufacturing as well as medium-and small-series production of high-quality parts, combine the Swissmachine manufacturer's entiretechnical expertise and extensivedevelopment experience.GF AgieCharmilles.

Feed axis Reconciling dynamics and precision
Dynamics and precisionMechanical drive systems have a basicdisadvantage: a loss of precisionmust be accepted to achieve a highlydynamic configuration. This effect isnot relevant for customers in auxiliarymotions such as tool changing oraxial positioning. An HSC machinechanges the situation: During cuttingcontrol, high dynamics must be com-bined with great precision. This iswhere the linear direct drive showsall its advantages.
• Short setting time • No oversteering through drive play
and elasticity • High dynamic rigidity of the attitude
control • Independent of slide position
Advantages• Oustandingly precise, accurate
workpiece machining due to theextremely rigid drive and controlconcept.
• Excellent long-term precision dueto the reduction of friction-inducedwear by the direct drive and centraloil lubrication
• Reduction of main operating timesdue to extremely high dynamicparameterisation (OSS)
• Reduction of auxiliary times by highrapid-traverse speeds
• Reduction of maintenance andservicing, since the lack of ballscrew drives or transmissionsreduces the number of wearingparts.

Precision HSC core components: Thermal precision
Cooling conceptThe MIKRON HSM LP series ushers in a new era of precision cut-ting. Since high axis feeds over longperiods always heat the drive assem-blies, the MIKRON HSM LP seriesbeats the problem with an ingeniouscooling management system. Each ofthe linear axis as well as the circularswivel unit have their own cooling cy-cles. The heat is therefore systemati-cally led out of the machine instead ofbeing distributed inside it.

smart machine The new dimension in modern production
Bringing intelligenceinto the millingprocess is the inten-ded aim of "smartmachine".
The facts• Greater accuracy in shorter machi-
ning times• Increase in the workpiece surface
quality as well as the surface andshape accuracy
• Recognition of critical machiningstrategies
• Improvement in the process safety• Reduction of the machine set due to
longer service life• Higher availability• Better operating comfort• Considerable increase in reliability
in unmanned operation
smart machine construction kitsystemEach of the modules fulfils a specifictask. Just like in a construction kit,the user can select the modules thatseem to him to be the best option forimproving his process.
Your benefit Producing the workpieces in a pro-cess-secure and precise manner,increasing the reliability in unmannedoperation, increasing the service lifeof the machine and significantly redu-cing production costs.
The smart machine is constantlybeing further developed.
The currently available modules canbe found at www.gfac.com
This includes a range of modules thatare collectively referred to under thegeneric term "smart machine" andthat fulfil various functions. In order tomake the milling process "intelligent",various requirements have to beimplemented. First of all, establishing comprehen-sive communication between man andmachine, which makes precise infor-mation that the operator requires toassess the milling process available tohim. Secondly, supporting the opera-tor in the optimisation of the process,which considerably improves the per-formance. Thirdly, the machine opti-mises the milling process, whichimproves the process safety and thequality of the workpiece - above all inunmanned operation.

High-Speed and High-Performance Milling CentersIn terms of cutting speed, HSM centers are 10 times faster thanconventional milling machines. Greater accuracy and a better surfacefinish are also achieved. This means that even tempered materialscan be machined to a condition where they are largely ready to use.One essential advantage of HSM is that with systematic integration,the process chain can be significantly shortened. HSM has developedalongside EDM into one of the key technologies in mold and tool making.
Electric Discharge MachinesEDM can be used to machine conductive materials of any hardness (forexample steel or titanium) to an accuracy of up to one-thousandth ofa millimeter with no mechanical action. By virtue of these properties,EDM is one of the key technologies in mold and tool making. There aretwo distinct processes – wire-cutting EDM and die-sinking EDM.
Laser ablationLaser ablation supplements and extends the technologies offered byGF AgieCharmilles. With our laser technology we enable you to producetexturizing, engraving, microstructuring, marking and labeling of 2Dgeometries right through to complex 3D geometries. Laser ablation,compared to conventional surface treatment using manual etchingprocesses, offers economic, ecological and design advantages.
