Scharmann has developed the ECOSPEED F for high-speed machining of mediumsized aluminium structural components. The horizontal spindle arrangement, the vertical pallet arrangement and the Sprint Z3 parallel kinematic machining head, which delivers high travel speeds (50 m/min) and accelerations (9.81 m/s²), all come from the successful ECOSPEED.
What sets the F version apart from the standard ECOSPEED is that the machine column is stationary. The pallet travels in the X direction on the vertically arranged table group. The ECOSPEED F is equipped with a rotating double pallet station, located parallel to the X-axis, which enables component loading and unloading during the machining cycle.
Parallel kinematic machining head - Sprint Z3
Sprint Z3 and the parallel kinematic concept: Three parallel linear axis drives are mounted radially equispaced in a barrel-shaped headstock. The spindle platform is connected to each drive by means of rigid levers with a simple pivot at one end, and a ball joint at the other end. A high performance motor spindle is mounted to the spindle platform.
Highest availability
Due to proven components the machine offers much higher availability as traditional machine concepts.
Acceleration in all axes
High acceleration / deceleration of 1 G in all axes.
Highly efficient chip removal and surface quality
The machine concept is valid as the world's most productive solution for the machining of aluminum structural parts at highest surface finish quality.
Head attachments
Automatic change of head attachments like angular milling heads.
