SORALUCE, a Danobat Group company, will be introducing the KB 150W Horizontal Boring Machine at IMTS 2014, giving customers access to maximum efficiency in the multi-face machining. The KB 150W horizontal boring machine is a robust, precision solution that changes the game in boring, by providing an efficient and durable state-of-the-art machine that can meet an wide assortment of requirements.
The SORALUCE KB-150-W Series is a T-type boring machine for streamlined, multi-face machining of large sized work pieces. The combination of linear guiding and hydrostatic systems provides high dynamics improving machining capability, while the highly rigid structure and boring spindle design ensures long term machine precision. The KB-150W undergoes specific reliability and precision testing, pursuant to the demanding SORALUCE standards, that guarantees that you will get a machine that will stand up to any demand.
This machine offers high performance, high feed forces of the cross axis and quill spindle, resulting in high stock removal capacity. Its heavy duty design and high dynamics provides optimum power and cutting speed capacity. With all main machine elements made of cast iron, the rigid, robust and stable design provides for the highest precision. The machine has been developed using the finite elements method and tested for maximum rigidity to reduce vibration problems to a minimum. It has a user-friendly machine configuration which allows the operator to be next to the working area, enabling easy part setting, measuring operations, etc. In addition, a full enclosure is available.
The rigid quill spindle is mounted on large angular contact ball bearings, lubricated with an air-oil system. The quill’s maximum thermal stability is due to a complete cooling system of the bearing, gearbox and spindle motor systems, This, combined with a high power transmission, guarantees high stock removal capacity as well as great feed force.
The rotary table rotates by high precision bearing and low friction surfaces for smaller load capacities and hydrostatic bearings for larger load capacities. These rotation systems ensure no surface wear, meaning it is optimal for highly demanding and accurate processing. Table rotation is via a dual drive system utilizing a large external crown gear with helical gearing and zero backlash precision gearbox. The hydraulic clamping system allows for maximum tangential clamping force up to 140,000 Nm / 103,244 lbf.ft.
