TAIWAN Business.EU l machining l machines and tools capacity of 40 to 90 tools. All machines can also be optionally outfitted with a pallet changer. "The HMF model series and model HBF 110 can serve as a replacement for older and worn out conventional horizontal boring centres, providing not only a fully-fledged replacement but moving the technical quality and accuracy of machining forward significantly thanks to CNC control," adds Pavel Rak Jr. Meanwhile, the HBT model series of horizontal cross-slide boring centres offers an interesting alternative on the market of small and medium-sized horizontal boring centres thanks to its modular structure and two tailstock diameter variants – 110 and 130 mm. The machine is available in movement ranges in the X axis of: 2,000 to 4,200 mm and with rotary, fully interpolated tables sized from 1,400 x 1,600 to 2,200 x 2,500 mm. Alternatively, the machines can also be fitted with a fixed table that can be complemented by a variety of mountable rotary tables depending on the intended application. This year, one of our major customers had us install model HBT 110 R with table size 1,400 x 1,600 mm, X axis movement range of 2,500 mm and extendible tailstock with diameter of 110 mm. Another new addition to macmatic's assortment of horizontal centres are high-performance horizontal milling centres from the HMG series, combining high rigidity, large size and excellent dynamics with the option of installing a pallet changer system. The machines are arranged crosswise, with spindle head in box-in-box design, with a wide range of rotary tables sized from 630 x 630 mm to 1,250 x 1,250 mm. ISO 50 spindles with power of up to 48 kW and max. speed of 8,000 rpm enable a wide range of applications in high–with rotary tables with full interpolation, direct measurement via optical guides in all axes, full housing coverage and an arm-operated tool magazine for 40 tools. Optional accessories include expansion of the tool magazine to up to 120 tools and addition of an automatic pallet changer. All macmatic horizontal centres can be fitted with through-spindle cooling with pressure from 20 to 70 bars including pressure control, Renishaw probes of choice and CNC control systems by Heidenhain, Fanuc, Siemens or Mitsubishi based on customer wishes and preference. Oil Mist and Dust Collectors macmatic Aspira You can also purchase accessories to CNC machine tools directly on the macmatic website. macmatic Aspira collectors, offered in 3 power variants, are particularly popular. Customers appreciate their ease of installation, maintenance and, above all, low purchasing and operating costs. All interior parts of the collector are washable. The only consumable part of Aspira collectors is the HEPA filter; however, the filter is optional and the device brings immediate increases in environmental cleanliness even without it. "We introduced Apira oil mist and dust collectors onto the market less than two years ago and there are currently over 160 units installed in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Aspira collectors marry efficient design, solid performance, excellent quality and keen price, exactly in line with the macmatic philosophy," summarised Ing. Pavel Rak Sr. In-stock Machinery as Response to Market Demand New customers interested in Akira Seiki milling centres can see the reliability and quality of the machines with their own eyes thanks to a vast network of customers and their references. Visiting a customer who has been using a machine for many years can often supersede several meetings behind a conference table. Recently, however, the quality and price of the supplied technology have not been the only parameters accentuated by customers: the delivery time of the chosen machine is becoming just as important. It is not uncommon that a customer requires a quick solution for their order and needs the machine right now, if possible. Thanks to new storage spaces that macmatic built within its new headquarters in Lukov u Zlína, the company can now respond to these demands accordingly. "We continuously order best-selling models such as Akira Seiki SV760 and SV1350 to keep them in stock. We use standard, tried and tested configurations with Heidenhain and Mitsubishi control systems. Model SV760 is specialised in machining smaller parts made of any material, from aluminium alloys to cast iron or stainless steels. SV1350 is a very robust, powerful and universal machine; its movement range of 1,350 x 640 x 660 mm and spindle power of up to 32 kW can surpass the majority of the competition. The assortment of in-stock machinery is complemented by models macmatic V1020 eco and V1500 eco which we can deliver very quickly with Heidenhain and Siemens control systems," adds Ing. Pavel Rak Jr. The current assortment of in-stock machinery can be found online at www.macmatic.cz/ skladove-stroje where you can browse the full assortment including prices www.macmatic.cz 5
