3-axis milling center F-UMG 803

verticalfor graphite

Unlike commonly used milling centres which can handle graphite, the F-UMG of Föhrenbach does not have to struggle with the law of gravity. It makes use of this law. The reason: With our centres, guides, spindle and tool magazine are not located at positions where they are exposed to the graphite dust, but they are both fitted at the top and hermetically sealed. The axis system is located above the machining plane in the dust-free area. If dust occurs, the guides are therefore not affected. In a reliable manner, the media distributor keeps the cutter free of chips - even in deep cavities. The precisely directed air flow ensures a stable process and minimum wear. All graphite dusts produced when milling are extracted by suction downwards using a large-volume bell. For this reason, the F-UMG requires only little maintenance and can fully exploit the advantages of the material graphite
