Head of turning and milling and turret DirectDrive for exceptional productivity Turn Mill
on June 14, 2011
Model CTX beta 1250 TC is located between the small CTX alpha 450 TC and the large gamma CTX TC on one side and the machines to large scale CTX delta 4000 TC and CTX delta 6000 TC on the other hand. With respect to production technology, this recent innovative product stands out for its combination of the powerful head of turning and milling and the lower turret as production base for the machining of 6 sides with up to 5 simultaneous axes in a machine.
"The new CTX beta 1250 TC 4A joins our range, continuing with the same success as our centers of turning and milling" confirms Harry Junger, director-general from Gildemeister Drehmaschinen GmbH. "the CTX beta 1250 CT 4th marks the new top model in the field of medium-sized pieces in the range of diameter up to 390 mm and lengths of turning up to 1,250 mm". The new development is different from the CTX beta 1250 TC with axis (b) in most part due to the additional lower turret. Harry Junger declares: "both tools mounted in turrets work autonomously and without restrictions". This makes it possible to work in a four-axis spindle with two tools or work on both sides in parallel (in the version with sub-spindle).
Harry Junger believes that the general level of productivity has increased by up to 50% in the new CTX beta 1250 TC 4A compared to the version with shaft B. And adds in a way prometeda: "If the programme of work on the piece need operations of turning, drilling deep, milling with gear, turning out centres, turning/milling, roughing to 4 axes, even drilling or milling high-performance milling and turning out centres with 5 simultaneous axes and clients want to complete these tasks in metal cutting with maximum flexibility in a machine"", the CTX beta 1250 TC 4A is the first choice for the future".
In the process, the CTX beta 1250 TC 4A works on the one hand with a B axis is pivots by +/-100 ° with motor 12,000 rpm spindle, and on the other hand the lower turret VDI 40-DirectDrive with 12 posts for speeds of up to 10,000 rpm. Own turret in addition has a shaft and (+/-40 mm) and all posts in tool even in the standard version are equipped with the interface of DMG TRIFIX precision for reduced times of preparation and increase in the accuracy of tool as well as stability.
For spindle for turning and milling, the standard version of the CTX beta 1250 TC 4A has a store of disk of 24 positions. However, the availability of tools system may increase with an adaptation of a store chain of 80 positions. Thus, Gildemeister responds specifically to the requirements of production of those who need a variety of tools or a greater demand for replacement tools.

The structure base of the CTX beta 1250 TC 4A is a robust mobile column mounted horizontally on the Z axis to ensure an optimal application of force where the b axis In addition the wide distance between the Rails ensures perfect rigidity and stability during the process, while accuracy is maintained at levels higher thanks to linear rules in all the axes of the cars as well as the Thermo-symmetrical design and active cooling system of the main spindle and the Sub-spindle, of the support of the motor and spindle of milling and turning.
New control ShopTurn 3 G ensures the maximum performance from design to complete machining. One of the novelties is programming multichannel allowing the user to freely select the DIN or WOP program. Thus it is possible a graphical programming in 3D in the workshop directly on the machine, with simulation of processes and cycles of easy to use thanks to an interface ShopTurn, as also a program that optimizes times of complex contours and the integration of custom cycles, program modules generated externally or with assistive technologies through a code DIN, by which the ShopTurn cycles can even be combined flexibly with ShopTurn 3 G DIN functions.
In addition the control offers the user images for quick preparation, an Ethernet interface for rapid exchange of data, an easy solution of possible errors with signs of diagnostic and maintenance functions. The big screen of 19 "of the DMG ERGOline control guarantees a comfortable reading, while the SOFTkeys DMG integrate additional and more detailed on the State of the machine.
