High-Performance Machining Center for Graphite Components
Available from Absolute Machine Tools, the TMV-510G machining center is engineered for high speed, efficient production of precision graphite electrodes and similar items.
The arm-type ATC keeps tools away from contamination and out of the workzone, and a standard full cover on top of the machine contains dust. A Donaldson Torit DFO 2-2 1200 CFM dust collector evacuates dust from the machine, and automatic shakers clean the filters and deposit the dust into a hopper. The machine’s FANUC 31iM-B control offers a standard conversational Manual Guide i Fanuc shopfloor programming system. The control also facilitates high-speed 3D machining with a package that includes 600-block look-ahead capability and a data server with Ethernet connection for mass program storage.
