German Machine Tools of America’s (GMTA) Profilator 300-V modular machine platform is equipped with one or two workpiece spindles in a compact design. It offers maximum flexibility due to modular design and is individually configurable for various machining processes (for example, scudding, hobbing, cycloidal milling, pointing, chamfering and deburring). Linear drives in the X- and Y-axis, as well as a torque drive in the A-axis offers high machine dynamics for short cycle times and maximum accuracy/low costs. High machine rigidity is available for hard scudding of inner and outer diameters.
Additional features include an intuitive user interface for easy setup and programming and is Industry 4.0 ready (optionally equipped with additional sensors). Various automation concepts are easily adaptable. The 300-V is easy to set up and maintain due to the “walk-in” machining area. An optional tool charger is available for maximum machining efficiency.
All Profilator machines are designed for dry machining, providing a machining area with no coolant and no coolant mist. The inverted, vertical spindle(s) enable free chip fall into the central chip conveyor at the bottom, while no coolant means no washing of the workpiece is required and the lack of coolant mist signifies an extraction system isn’t needed.
