COMET R6 I

Technical data

PROCESSING CENTER

/Aluminium, PVC and Metal/

5-axis CNC machining centre designed for working bars or parts in aluminium, PVC, light alloys in general and steel. It includes two different operating modes: the first one, in single-zone mode, for machining whole bars in a single working area, up to 7 m long; the second one, in double operation, for machining multiple workpieces in the two separate working areas.

All CNC axes are absolute and do not require resetting upon restarting the machine. COMET R6, version “I”, features independent servocontrolled clamps that, in dynamic double operation, position themselves in concurrent operation time with respect to the spindle machining processes in the opposite working field. The 4th and 5th axis allow the electrospindle to rotate to CNC from –15° to 90° on horizontal axis, and from 0° to 720° on continuous vertical axis, to machine the top and all the side faces of the profile.

Features a 12-place tool magazine, on the gantry (X-axis), that can hold a blade with a maximum diameter of 250 mm. The mobile worktable facilitates the workpiece loading/unloading operation fully ergonomically, and significantly increases the machinable section on the Y-axis.

MOTORIZED VICES

 

The motorized vices, each equipped with its own motor, can be positioned independently in the work area. The CNC manages the movement of vices and that of electrospindle head simultaneously, in the two different work areas in double operation mode. This enables significant productivity gains. Using absolute reference axes allows reducing the initialisation time required every time the machine is restarted.

GLASS PROTECTION

 

 

Safe, perfect, resistant, long-lasting. These are the advantages of choosing glass for protecting the new Comet machining centres. Glass is also easy to clean and less susceptible to scratches and wear. Machine cuts operate to flag machine statuses, thanks to a light colour interface. The whole visor slides downwards, thus making it easier to load the workpieces; additionally, the ends feature aluminium guards that act as a support plane if needed.

OPERATOR INTERFACE

 

The possibility of rotating the monitor on its vertical axis allows the operator to view the screen from any position. The user interface has a 24” touchscreen display in 16:9 format, portrait mode, equipped with the necessary USB connections for PC and CNC remote interfaces. It also features an operator panel, mouse, and it is set up for connecting barcode reader and remote operator panel.

TOOL MAGAZINE

 

The tool magazine is integrated on the X axis, in the lower part and behind the electrospindle. It allows great reduction of tool change times. This function is particularly useful in the extrusion head and tail machining, avoiding the stroke to get to the magazine, as it moves simultaneously with the electrospindle and its positions. The magazine can contain up to 12 toolholders with relevant tools, including a blade with a maximum diameter of 250 mm, which can be set at the operator’s discretion. Each position of the tool holder is provided with a sensor detecting the correct cone position.

DYNAMIC DOUBLE OPERATION

 

The innovative machining mode allows minimising downtimes when loading and unloading the workpieces to be machined. The system allows, in the two distinct and independent work areas, to simultaneously carry out the loading/unloading of extruded profiles on one side, and machining of workpieces on the other, with different lengths and/or codes. This solution makes the machine very flexible, which is highly suitable for the field of window/door frames and for small work orders, where machining is required for small lots of different pieces.
