B-axis model incorporates servo motors and OEMencoders for easy integration

Hirschmann Engineering will display the Model H150R.NC, an integrated B-axis for horizontal or vertical use on both wire and sink EDMs. The H150R.NC series axis was developed to incorporate servo motors and encoders of various OEMs, making it possible for integration directly to the machine control. Automatic indexing and the ability to "Turn & Burn" are possible depending on the machine control capabilities. The encoder is mounted directly to the axis spindle to ensure the highest possible accuracy.

The H150R.NC utilizes a newly designed feature that allows the axis to be easily constructed with various spindle configurations. Spindle tapers and styles include CAT or BT 40 and 50, HSK63, 3-jaw chuck with a through hole and a 150mm diameter faceplate.

The tapers can be pneumatically opened and closed to allow for robotic or manual loading. Manual and pneumatic clampers are also available for manual and robotic loading. Pneumatic clampers from Hirschmann's 5000 and 6000 systems as well as clampers from other EDM tooling systems can be used with these products.
