Machining Centres

Fanuc RoboDril D21 MiA5

robo drill

The Fanuc RoboDril D21 MiA5 is a high power machining centre, which complements the existing 5 Robodrills in the machine shop.

The slightly larger footprint of this D21 means it is better suited in our adjoining factory workspace, alongside our other HAAS Vertical machining centres.

The new machine boasts an impressive 24,000 rpm High Speed Spindle, and 21 tool storage carousel, ideally suited for the variety of parts machined for the Medical Industry and for the civil and military Aerospace sectors.

Both machines have DNC Links to our Gibbs-Cam, allows off-line programming for both 2D CAD drawing files, and full solid models.

Cut paths can be directly inputted to all our CNC machine centres though our dedicated post processors and DNC links.

EDM

Robo cut

Fanuc Robocut EDM C400i A

The Fanuc Robocut EDM C400i A can take work pieces up to a maximum of 700 x 555 x 250mm, and is a logical addition to their existing Fanuc EDM Wire Cut Machine Alpha OC (4 axis).

Protocon have significant experience eroding a wide variety of materials, and extremely tight tolerances and a high surface finish can also be obtained.

Wire eroding allows cutting extremely intricate contours, cavities and patterns with minimal damage to the overall structure of the substance.

Complex shapes that would otherwise be difficult to produce with conventional cutting tools cut be machined using this process on extremely hard material to very close tolerances.

Protocon's CAM system Gibbs-Cam, allows off-line programming for all our CNC machine centres, for both 2D CAD drawing files, and full solid models.

Cut paths can be directly inputted to all our CNC machine centres though our dedicated post processors and DNC links.

Production Advantages:

Supported Formats

Our Gibbs-Cam system currently supports the following formats:

Traditional paper drawings can be readily converted into cut paths using either our Visual CADD, CAD system or Gibbs internal drawing pallet.
