Other machining centres

ELHA-MASCHINENBAU has been known for many years as the market leader for highly productive transfer centers, with a focus on large-scale automotive production. With the FM SMART series, ELHA offers unprecedented flexibility in multi-spindle machining for transfer centers and thus represents an alternative to conventional machining centers. Ideal concept for: - Medium to high volumes - Small and medium-sized workpieces - Fastest possible changeover - Optimal for light metals, (stainless) steels as well as casting and forging alloys

The PKM from ELHA-MASCHINENBAU closes the gap between classic machine tools and conventional arm robots. The solution offers a high degree of flexibility and can be integrated into other production lines. A large working area and extreme speed are the main features of the PKM. This was developed in collaboration with our partner Cognibotics. Dynamics - Developed to achieve the maximum dynamics with the least possible moving mass - Up to 20 times less moving mass compared to classic machine tools - Tool centre speed up to 170m/min - Acceleration of the tool centre up to 2.5G depending on the application carrier (2.5G up to 40kg) Precision - Volumetric calibration by laser tracker - Optional: integrated accuracy check and recalibration - Repeat positioning accuracy up to 5µm - Tool path accuracy in the entire working range up to 0.04mm (without process forces) - Master-slave crosshead drives - Backlash-free cardan joints and drives Working area - up to 3m in width, 2m in height, any length - Configurable via rod lengths - Horizontal working range possible Flexibility - Several parallel kinematics possible on one rail system - Integration of workpiece guiding axes - Any applications on the end effector Sustainability / Maintenance - Low number of wearing parts - Low energy consumption due to low moving mass - Energy surpluses during braking are fed back into the grid
