5/6 Axis machining centers
Starrag STC Series
- High performance simultaneous 5 and 6 axis machining center
The STC series has been designed to provide unrivalled economy in the machining of the most demanding structural parts, multi-blades and casings with long cycle times, and provide the customer with a whole host of practical options.
These machining centers have excellent static and dynamic properties as well as a tried and tested rotatable head, making them the benchmark for heavy chip removal in titanium and Inconel part for the aerospace and power generation industries.
Starrag S1250 HD
- Hydrostatic bearings bring about a leap in performance in titanium machining
The S1250 HD is predestined for simultaneous 5-axis heavy machining of titanium and Inconel parts due to its excellent static and dynamic properties.
The user derives the greatest advantages from the use of hydrostatic guides in roughing operations. Due to the significantly higher rigidity and damping compared to roller guides, the cutting depths can be increased threefold. The roughing times are reduced accordingly.
The new S1250 HD also benefits from the hydrostatic bearing during finishing. The increased rigidity reduces pitching of the column, which limits jerking and acceleration. The higher dynamics are noticeable in higher starting speeds, accelerations and faster five-axis movements. This ultimately also reduces the finishing times.
