Fork Milling Head

SHW Werkzeugmaschinen has exhibited a truly spectacular array of novelties at the EMO 2015. The technological highlight is the new SHW Fork Milling Head with continuously variable A- and C-axis and high frequency spindle. Furthermore, the company presents a precision granite machine bed for the highest possible dimensional accuracy in difficult climate conditions and the new SHW TightBlock for a level machine installation without a foundation. The sensation for bargain hunters is the 650 years anniversary edition "eysenwerck" offered at a special rate. According to SHW Werkzeugmaschinen, the new fork milling head, newly developed in cooperation with the Kessler company, is particularly interesting for 5-axis simultaneous machining in classical mechanical engineering as well as for smoothing in module-making. With up to 26,000 rpm, the integrated high frequency spindle is ideal for light metal machining. For steel machining, the user can choose between High-Feed-Cutting (HFC) or High-Speed-Cutting (HSC). The continuously variable A- and C-axis enables machining around the work piece. Traverse distances of x = 2,000-30,000 mm, y = 1,300-2,600 mm and z = 1,300-1,500 mm offer the user tremendous freedom even for bulky pieces. Weights of work pieces of up to six tons are possible, because the milling head moves around the work piece. The new SHW-fork milling head is available in the two editions UniSpeed and PowerSpeed.
