CONTOUR PLUS – 6 Axis Diamond Wire Profiling Machine

MACHINE STRUCTURE

VERTICAL SLIDING GUIDES

The vertical slide of the flywheel holder groups is done by four suitably sized prismatic wheels which slide on guides. To avoid vibrations and ensure the maximum cutting precision, the prismatic wheels are made of steel with high resistance and low coefficient of wear. The flywheel holder groups can slide both coupled, when the machine works with   two interpolated axis to process cylindrical shapes only, or in an independent way when it works with the four interpolated axis   during the execution of conical shapes.

MOVEMENTS

The diamond wire rotation is driven by an asynchronous motor (15 kW ) which transmits the motion to the main flywheel by means of a reduction unit with V-belts. The rise/descent movement of the two flywheel holders and the movement of the block-carrying trolley is operated by recirculating ball screws driven by brushless motors. Thanks to their drives it is possible to adjust the working feed according to the diamond wire bow, granting in this way the perfect execution of the profile.

CONTROL BOARD

The operator panel includes a color screen, a resistive LCD touch screen which allows to check the exact position of the wire during the cutting phases and to monitor in real time the machine functioning, an alphanumeric keyboard, an integrated mouse, multiple USB connections and an Ethernet port to transfer the “profile” previously created by AutoCad or by our special software. After loading the working program, the machine works fully automatically.

STRETCHING SYSTEM

The special software of the stretching system ensures, in the blocks squaring and slabs and thicknesses cut, very high performances of the diamond wire, increasing the efficiency with a consequent reduction of cutting costs.

SAFETY

The control board is waterproof and is equipped with an automatic air-conditioning system (cooling/heating) which allows to avoid   any possible damage to CNC and to the other components of the machine due to outside temperatures too low or too high. In case of problems or any inconvenience, the equipment stops automatically. After any safety stop it is possible to re-start the work from the point where it stopped thanks to an automatic function of restoring of the interrupted session.

AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION

The lubrication is completely automatic, after programming the lubrication time and the cycle frequency.
