cover.
The aluminum profiles used with the construction
are special profiles, which make a good rigidity
possible at simultaneous low weight. The
gantry clearance amounts 200 mm (optinal
300 mm).
As axis actuation ball screws with DC servo motors
are used. The units are according to standard
equipped with CAN CNC control on Windows

Unique at the market: The same if standard unit or
extended unit. As a result of modular and flexible
structure of the individual components unbelievable
combination options arise. Therefore a selected
CNC system is literally suit to the needs of the customer
and to respective application.
By own manufacturing oft he most important mechanical
and electronic components the flat bed
systems provide an unusual cost-performance ratio
for milling, engraving, drilling, processing with
the rotational axis and laser digitization. Due to
theit design they provide highest precision in the

Many applications require a machine concept
which on one side is versatile in application and
on the other side offers large surfaces respectively
large travel strokes.Beyond that the system should
be economical and inexpensive in acquisition. Nothing
easier than that: By the unique design innumerable
combination options of the machine
frame and the linear axis could be realised. The interesting
at the CNC machine series GPY is the
double Z-axis with very high gantry clearance.
The application area and the materials which
should be milles are like the GFV / GFY units and
the GPY system is available with the same auxiliary
modules.
The very high performance main spindle drive
ES915 with 3,8 kW / 24.000 rpm or the new rotary
/ swiveling (4th / 5th axis) can be used by very solid
cross rail.

The machine series MMF was developed particularly
for the model, prototype and mould making.
High structure rigidity was the centre of attention
thereby - this results from the solid
structure. Equipped with a rotary swivelling unit as
4th and 5th axis the MMF is suitable optimally for
the five-axis-treatment and milling large volume
work pieces.
The combination of functions like e.g. jerk control,
speed and acceleration pilot control, Look ahead
path control and carrying of tool orientation, permits
best technology utilization and adjustment
to changing requirements, to speed, accuracy and
surface quality.

THE ULTIMATE
CAD/CAM PACKAGE
Advance by 5 axis technology
Special in the model and mould making 5 axis milling is on everyone's
lip - manufacturing processes could be clearly optimized by
this technology. One could archieve these advantages however
only if both the CNC machine and the control know higher path
feed motions.
Furthermore the machine system consisting of cartesian linear axis
and rotary axis has to be adapted to the respective application.
By our well-known flexible and modular axis combinations and our
special rotary units, based on highly precise Harmonic DRIVE gear,
various applications can be realized. Many combinations are conceivably:
if rotary / swiveling axis at the machine table or units with
engaged tool axis.
The powerful software functions of isy CAM 3,2 support beyond
that all possible multi-side working on, 3+2 axis applications or 5
axis simultaneous milling.

3D laser digitalization at the same machine
Measuring technique at the machine increases your productivity
By the extension of the CNC machine with the two 3D scanners
CONOPROBE and ShapeTracer you transform your CNC system
into a contactless digitizing / measuring machine.
With these highly precise measuring instruments free forming surfaces
with most different surfaces in impressive quality could be collected
.And by the smoothly merging into surface feedback software
PointMaster , even complex geometry forms with newest 3D reconstruction
functions will be generated. This High end solution is the ideal
addition for the scopes reverse engineering, prototyping, mould making,
design model making and 3D measurement.
All users, who have to create a CAD data
set from a master form or a hand sample, will
be supported by the combination CNC machine,
laser and PointMaster with the necessary
tools.
APPLICATIONS::
:: 3D form scanning and CAD subsequent treatment
:: Registration (3D co-ordinates arrangement from scanning to CAD
model)
:: Surface feedback (IGES data generation)
:: 3D measuring and analysis technology (target/actual
comparison)
Measuring technique at the machine increases your productivity
Mit den schaltenden 3D-Messtastern TS20 von ReniShaw
und dem kabellosen Infrarotsystem OP32

With the tactile 3D probes TS20 from ReniShaw
and the cordless infrared system OP32 from MAR-
POSS you can determine fast and accurately the
workpiece zero point. Therefore set-up times and
service lives shorten and the accuracy increase.
Beyond that you can use the 3D measurment probes
for an effortless and exact trace of reference
edges at work pieces and devices or for the measurement
of streched work pieces.
For the non-contact tool check the MIDA LASER
system from MARPOSS is also be available.It makes
the automatic measuring possible of rotary tools
for the following check routines of the tools:
:: break control of a tool
:: calibration of tools
:: measurement of length and diameter of a tool
Teaching of the workpiece zero point with part situation
compensation (rotation of the NC program
at the control).

Our company positioned itself with a clear target at the market for CNC milling
