14-axis CNC machining and cutting-off centre, built for cutting, drilling and milling aluminium and light alloy profiles. VEGAMILL consists of four main units. Automatic belt loading magazine for profiles with a length of max. 7.500 mm. A high-precision and high-speed push-feed system with gripper for profile picking and conveying to a machining area. The adjustment of horizontal and vertical position of the gripper is automated by means of an electronic positioning system on two controlled axes. A 4-axis CN milling unit with drilling and milling functions performs machining on the upper and lateral faces of the profile; a second 3-axis NC optional unit works on the lower face. The cutting unit with 600 mm blade performs cuts with an inclination of up to 22°30' to the right and left, with the precision and efficiency of a brushless motor on CNC rotation axis with absolute magnetic band. The unloading unit consists of a storage table equipped with an automatic extractor and an automatic tilting and translation system. The units making up VEGAMILL are protected by guards in such a way that they do not require additional enclosure guards, lending compactness and flexibility to this cutting-off and machining centre.
Radial cut
Standard cut
The 4-axis CNC milling unit consists of a 11 kW electrospindle in S1 that can reach the speed of 24.000 rpm. The electrospindle movement along A axis performs -120° to +120° rotation, allowing to work on 3 sides of the profile with no need to reposition it. It can be used on profiles made of aluminium, PVC and light wood. Vegamill has an automatic tool magazine with 4 places for the purpose of handling different machining operations or more frequently to ensure automatic replacement of worn tools, to support the long machining cycles typical of this machine.
Label printer with peeler allows each cut part to be identified with geometric and management characteristics from the cutting list. In addition, barcode printing enables easy identification of the profile itself, which is particularly useful for subsequent machining steps on Machining Centres or assisted assembly lines. The peeler function allows to peel off the labels from the roll automatically. Thanks to the label presence sensor, the print queue remains paused until the label is picked up.
