| For greater flexibility and maximum
operating efficiency, a machine equipped with a Masterhead is
the answer.
The Masterhead spindle drive system with interchangeable
spindle units represents a significant breakthrough in heavy machine
tool technology. Masterhead brings more versatility and flexibility
to one-stop parts machining -- the closest solution yet to truly universal
machining.
Masterhead was developed to
perform a full range of cutting functions on five sides of a workpiece,
in a single set-up, in a wide variety of materials -- from steel to
aluminum, titanium to advanced composites. This is possible
by using any of a broad choice of automatically changed spindle units
-- including various straight, angular, universal and gimbal configurations
as well as the 2-axis CNC spindle unit for 5-axis contouring (shown
above) that permit the cutting tool to be positioned at any angle
to the workpiece.
