I. Diversified System Configurations to Meet Subframe Machining and Operation Requirements
To address the programming flexibility and intelligent control needs of subframe machining, the A13L Five-Axis Horizontal Cradle Machining Center offers a rich selection of system controllers: it comes standard with the Siemens Sinumerik One system to ensure the stability and compatibility of basic machining; the optional Siemens 828D system enhances high-end intelligent machining capabilities; it also supports CATO's independently developed CATO C80 Plus system, adapting to localized operating habits and customized machining requirements. The diversified configurations can accurately match the production scenarios of enterprises of different scales, enabling efficient operation whether for batch standardized production or flexible customized machining.
II. Core Structural Innovations to Lay a Solid Foundation for Subframe Machining Precision
Long-term maintenance of high precision is required for subframe machining, and the A13L Five-Axid Horizontal Cradle Machining Center box-in-box symmetric beam structure design is a key guarantee. This structure can effectively stabilize the spindle center, significantly reduce thermal deformation, maintain stable machining accuracy even with fluctuations in ambient temperature, and greatly enhance machine tool rigidity, providing solid support for complex surface cutting of subframes.
In terms of drive technology, the X/Y/Z Axis of the A13L Five-Axis Horizontal Cradle Machining Center adopt direct drive by high-performance linear motors, combined with a high-precision grating scale feedback system, completely eliminating mechanical transmission backlash and achieving high acceleration/deceleration response and micron-level positioning accuracy. The direct drive design of the A/B Axis with torque motors also offers the advantages of non-mechanical transmission,non-backlash ensuring low noise, low vibration, and easy maintenance during machining, while maintaining long-term precision consistency in subframe machining. The collaborative application of high-rigidity roller guides and high-precision circular gratings further strengthens the machine tool's rigidity and machining accuracy, ensuring precise machining of every detail of the subframe.
III. Customized Cradle Worktable to Adapt to Complex Subframe Machining Scenarios
The A13L Five-Axis Horizontal Cradle Machining Center is equipped with a precision five-axis cradle independently developed by CATO. The A/B axes adopt direct drive by torque motors, featuring backlash-free and wear-free characteristics without mechanical transmission, which can maintain permanent high precision and low noise during high acceleration/deceleration movements. Combined with high-precision encoders, it can achieve precise positioning and real-time control during subframe machining, perfectly meeting the multi-dimensional machining needs of complex structures.
To meet the diverse needs of subframe machining, the A13L Five-Axis Horizontal Cradle Machining Center provides flexible axis configuration options: the optional A axis can leverage its excellent chip evacuation function to avoid part damage caused by chip accumulation on fixtures and workpieces, improving the reliability of automated production; the standard A+B axes support five-axis simultaneous machining, easily overcoming the challenges of complex surface and multi-station machining of subframes; the optional B axis enables front and back machining of workpieces and free attitude transformation, completing multi-face machining with one clamping, significantly reducing clamping errors and improving production efficiency.
IV. Powerful Parameters to Meet Efficient Subframe Machining Requirements
The core parameters of the A13L Five-Axis Horizontal Cradle Machining Center are accurately matched to subframe machining scenarios: the XYZ axis travel reaches 13001000650 mm, fully covering the size range of mainstream new energy subframes; the three-axis rapid traverse speed is as high as 100 m/min, significantly shortening idle travel time and improving batch production efficiency; the spindle comes standard with HSK A100 specification, with a maximum speed of 12,000 rpm, which can efficiently meet the cutting needs of subframe machining, achieving dual guarantees of high precision and high efficiency.
