Scharmann has developed the ECOSPEED F for high-speed machining of mediumsized aluminium structural components. The horizontal spindle arrangement, the vertical pallet arrangement and the Sprint Z3 parallel kinematic machining head, which delivers high travel speeds (50 m/min) and accelerations (9.81 m/s²), all come from the successful ECOSPEED. What sets the F version apart from the standard ECOSPEED is that the machine column is stationary. The pallet travels in the X direction on the vertically arranged table group. The ECOSPEED F is equipped with a rotating double pallet station, located parallel to the X-axis, which enables component loading and unloading during the machining cycle.
