Advanced Technology Machine Solutions

The ATMS 2100x4100 INDUSTRIAL 5-axis Milling Plotter is the ideal solution for the production of highly precise and complex parts in both plastics and other materials. Thanks to the combination of precision and ergonomics, our machine is indispensable where high quality and fast production are required. It is used, among others: in the furniture, machinery, automotive, aerospace and many other industries. Through cooperation with renowned suppliers in the field of components for the CNC industry, efficient and easy-to-use solutions have been developed to maximize the time and cost of production of a component.

The distinctive feature of the device is the use of a modern tilt-turn head from the Italian company HITECO. Thanks to such a solution, it is possible to machine in five axes with a single clamping of the element, which significantly increases the accuracy of workmanship and reduces the time needed to produce the element. The innovative design allows rotation in the A-axis up to 120 degrees, which makes it possible to make complex parts with a single machine. The spindle allows excellent machining precision in its speed range and simple maintenance. Electronic and mechanical components have been produced by proven manufacturers. They guarantee efficient operation under high loads and account for the long life of the machine.

The machine was made from the highest quality materials and components. The rigid construction of the support frame made of steel profiles together with the hybrid-type vacuum table enable stable operation with high accuracy. This is particularly important for the manufacture of components with high accuracy requirements and wherever the repeatability of the component is a key and desirable feature.

By partnering with Mitsubishi Electric's CNC industry solutions, an efficient and easy-to-use solution has been developed for maximum optimization of part production time and cost. The machine uses a single control system for the entire machining cell. This makes it possible to retrofit the machine with additional equipment (including industrial robots) in the future. The system allows programming of machining using G-code, among other things.

The machine is equipped with an Automatic Tool Changing system, which allows the machine to maintain continuous operation during machining, without having to stop the machine to change the toolholder. The machine tool also includes a central lubrication system for the maintenance of sensitive components, which allows the machine to maintain consistent and superior machining quality, and most importantly, extends the life of the machine and reduces the cost of operating the machine.

Implemented Mitsubishi brand software guarantees the highest comfort of work and simple operation. It provides support for multiple NC axes, PLC and spindles. The control also allows communication and integration with external devices via PLC without the need to purchase additional software in the future, which will reduce costs in the case of, among others, robotization of the station or retrofitting with other additional modules.

Optional equipment:
The functionality of CNC units especially finds its application in the industry dealing with woodworking, composites, molds. They are useful where parts require more complex processing, have non-standard shapes as well as sizes. They make it possible to work on a single fixture, resulting in time savings during machining as well as eliminating operator errors.

The possibility of retrofitting the machine with special machining equipment, such as:

• Drill aggregate - ideal when multiple parts of different diameters are required. It is ideal for many plants, especially in the furniture industry. Configurations are available for both vertical and horizontal drilling.
• The oscillating aggregate allows precise cutting of materials such as cardboard, foam, cellular plastics.
.
• Agregate with cutting saw - allows efficient cutting of material without changing the attachment, which significantly affects the efficiency and precision of the workpiece. Possible configuration with cutting vertically, horizontally, as well as at an angle.
• Angle aggregate - allowing to perform the machining process in the selected plane.
.
• Specialized aggregate tailored to individual customer needs.
