NEW THERMWOOD M63-510, MULTI-PURPOSE 3 AXIS SERIES ROUTER

Summary:

The USACE Engineer and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, MS has a requirement to purchase one New M63-510, MULTI-PURPOSE 3 AXIS SERIES.

Requirements Description:

NEW M63-510, MULTI-PURPOSE 3 AXIS SERIES

DESCRIPTION:

The M63-510 is a large bed, three-axis CNC router. It is a moving bridge style machine with a stationary table. It is primarily designed specifically for two dimensional machining of large composite parts. The M63-510 is also highly recommended for the machining of three dimensional patterns.

MACHINE:

The stress relieved machine base is a engineered steel weldment consisting of C-channel table assembly. The base structure has steel mounting pads, each equipped with leveling bolts.

The stress relieved machine bridge is an engineered steel weldment consisting of structural steel tubing and steel bracing. It is an engineered structure with very high stiffness and strength.

The ways of X, Y and Z-axes are a trackway style of precision ground steel and are hardened to a Rockwell 60 minimum, with precision rack drives on the X and Y axes. It is primarily designed to machine low profile materials such as composite, aluminum, hardwoods, fiberboard (MDF), particleboard, and plastics.

High performance closed loop Siemens AC Brushless servo drives are equipped on all axes.

The stationary table has a one inch thick, aluminum plate table surface. This plate represents the finest in quality - a highly stable plate, ground to precision tolerance. The continuously cast, aged, stress-relieved, machined plate provides sound dimensional stability with minimal or no distortion.

Major axes are measured and calibrated using a laser interferometer to assure the most accurate absolute positioning and repeatability possible.

CONTROL SYSTEM:

The Thermwood QCore SuperControl features rich, multi-tasking, high performance CNC control system configured to perform 3 axis simultaneous motions. The QCore SuperControl features a quad core processor, a high level of hardware integration, extensive use of reliable surface mount technology and a built in upgrade path for future technology.

The control is equipped with a 19" wide full color LCD screen monitor, QWERTY keyboard, 1 TB SATA hard drive. It also includes a serial port for hand held programmer interface, variable 0 to 120% feed rate override and operator controls for start, stop, axis jog +, axis jog -, block step +, block stop - and feed hold.

The control uses a Microsoft® Windows® 10 Professional operating system, offering the operator choices for program and machine operation display, pop-up windows for event and information display, pop-up windows for data input, and the ability to operate the machine in the background while doing other tasks on the control.

VOLUMETRIC 3D LASER COMPENSATION:

Compensates for positional variations within the three dimensional working envelope of the machine.

FIXTURE PLACEMENT COMPENSATION:

Allows the user to mechanically locate three points on a fixture during initial program set up. These points establish future fixture locations. This feature is very useful when the fixture cannot be precisely located on the machine bed after each use.

THERMWOOD M63-510, THREE - AXIS ROUTER:

Programmable and controlled three-axis motion Siemens high performance high reliability brushless AC Servo Drive System with high acceleration and deceleration rates and feed speeds to 1500 inches/minute Ground and hardened steel ways on all linear axes Air conditioned control cabinet Solid-state memory and control system, fully diagnostic.

1 TB SATA hard drive system for program and system storage Quad Core Processor 19" wide full color LCD screen monitor QWERTY keyboard EIA 274D programming Network ready with enhanced network filter PCI bus expansion Control Touch Pad Feedrate over ride Feed hold Menu driven programming Machine Variable Dialog Screen Tooling verification screen Spindle Amperage Load Meter Laser calibration and certification Pitch error compensation 380 – 440 Volt 50 Hz / 440-480V 60Hz 3 Phase power input (other voltages optional) Thermwood’s one year limited warranty. The warranty includes one (1) year of Advanced Support and one (1) year of Virtual Service. Virtual Service provides direct, live, visual contact from the machine control to Thermwood’s Service department. (See detail copy of the warranty for other limitations) A network connection to the machine control with access to a high-speed Internet connection is required to use Virtual Service.

PROFILE MODELER:

The Profile Modeler offers the ability to machine profiles generated using the Job Level Interface output from capable design software. Profiles can be machined By using a combination of tools, such as in modeling, or by using a specific Custom tool through the Custom Tool section function.

WORK TABLE:

120 inch deep by 60 inch wide stationary table aluminum table. The precision cast plate table top is equipped with integral spacers to allow for maximum vacuum flow.

HIGH FLOW VACUUM PLUMBING:

Each 5' X 10' table section contains the following.

Two 8" diameter ports Programmable on/off vacuum controls

15HP BECKER MODEL VTLF 2.400 VACUUM PUMP:

Capacity: 270 CFM open flow, maximum vacuum 24” Hg (at sea level). The pump is an oil less rotary vane type vacuum pump with carbon vanes, built-in suction filter, vacuum regulating valve, blow-off valve/silencer, coupled to a 15hp, 880 RPM, 208/230/460 Volt, 60 Hz, 3 phase motor. The unit has an external intake filter and starter (either low voltage or high voltage). Includes, inlet filtering, electric starter, and approximately 15 feet of vacuum hose channeled from the pump to the machine base. This vacuum pump should not be operated in ambient temperatures that are below 5°C / 41° F, or exceed 45° C / 113° F.

Note: This vacuum pump is designed to operate at an elevation not to exceed 2,600 feet above sea level. Operation above 2,600 will require a high altitude option.

EXTENDED Z AXIS:

24 inch vertical (Z) axis)

PROGRAMMABLE POP UP PINS:

Pins are machined from .75 inch thick aluminum plate and are mounted to a heavy duty shaft and rotate on double row angular contact bearings. The pins are operated via an output command from the machine control. Pin motion is created by extending/retracting air operated cylinders. Configured as a set of

(4) four.

Needs the button style high flow table.

TOOLING:

12 HP High Frequency Router Spindle, variable programmable speed 3,000 to 24,000 RPM. Includes 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" collets and covernut.

Maximum tool size is 2” diameter and 3" length.

SEVEN POSITION COMBINATION TOOL BAR:

Tool bar consists of an aluminum plate machined to accept 7 tool positions and will be mounted to the back of the table surface in a manner not to interfere with standard machining processes. Includes (7) iso-30 tool holders and (7) er-32 collets. Maximum tooling diameter to be, (4) 2" dia. And (3) 3 1/4" dia. Tools. NOTE: the (3) larger diameter tool positions are limited to 14,500 rpm.

LIMITATIONS: this configuration does not allow for additional routers, aggregate tools, and C axis. Contact Thermwood for any additional limitations or concerns.

MANUAL TOOL CHANGE:

Allows for a tool to be changed manually within a program. The machine will remove the existing tool in the spindle and place it in the proper tool changer position then go to a predetermined program position for an operator to manually load the designated tool. Once loaded the machine will resume the program operation. To unload the tool, the machine will go to the same predetermined program position for the operator to remove the tool and then continue to the next tool changer position. Each tool designated as a “manual tool change tool” will have its own designated load/unload position. A keyed enable/disable switch is provided to safeguard against accidental start-up of the router motor or program cycle during the tool changing process.

AUTOMATIC TOOL LENGTH MEASUREMENT:

Automatic method of measuring tool length and entering tool length offset numbers into the control

TOTAL AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION SYSTEM:

Automatic oil lubrication

Automatically provides continuous oil lubrication to the rail bearings.

Automatic grease lubrication for a helical rack system.
