UNICOM: vertical turning + multisided machining The Unicom 6000 machining centre is ideally suited for vertical turning and multi-sided machining of complex components. This highly flexible and powerful machining centre for complete machining results from the continuous development of vertical machining centres over a period of more than 25 years. The concept of Unicom 6000 is based on a moving table with integrated carousel turning station and an interface that can receive pallets of up to 1.800 mm in diameter. The table movement is designated as Y-axis and it runs underneath a traverse with cross slide and spindle carrier. The movements of cross slide and spindle carrier are designated as X-and Z-axis respectively. The chain type tool magazine offers space to milling, drilling and turning tools with easy and reliable access.
The Unicom 6000 is equipped with a pallet changer for automatic change of pallet sizes Ø 1.250 mm and/or Ø 1.600 mm and/or Ø 1.800 mm. The pallet loading station is installed directly adjacent to the operator panel which allows for easy access. UNICOM is available in two configurations:
- Unicom 6000:
4-Axes complete machining centre with HSK100-A interface, carousel turning station and pallet changer. The machine can be equipped with a right angular head or a universal head, in combination with C-axis mode in the carousel turning station.
- Unicom 6000-HV:
5-Axes complete machining centre with carousel turning station, pallet changer and HSK 63-A interface in the integrated Unisign Nutator NC machining head as 5th axis, in combination with C-axis mode in the carousel turning station. This configuration is capable of 5-axes machining of complex components.
Both configurations are fully enclosed and equipped with filter mist units.
