GENERAL
Mecal Nike is a vertical spindle aluminum extrusion CNC available in 3+1 axes. The machine can work with aluminum extrusions, as well as vinyl extrusions and light alloy profiles. It comes as standard with a 3.8 kW, 18000 rpm electro-spindle with ISO 30 tool holder system and a 5 tool magazine even if an additional side magazine is available as optional to reach a total of 10 tools available in the machine.
The 3+1 axes configuration features a rotating beam equipped with a clamping system to properly hold the extrusions during the machining process.
The Mecal Nike allows linear and circular interpolation on 3 axes (X,Y,Z). The A axis is the beam rotation on ±90° angles around X-axis, however the operator will have the possibility to manually adjust a mechanical pin to allow the beam to stop at intermediate angles. This enables machining on any surface generated by the rotation of the work-piece with standard tools.
Using a drill, milling bit or a tap, it is possible to work on 3 sides of the profile, also the machine can perform end-milling operations by using milling cutter.
The 2 pneumatically operated reference stops are standard and located on each end of the rotating beam.
CLAMPING
The Nike aluminum extrusion CNC can be equipped with manual or head driven (DPM) clamps. The head driven (DPM) clamps are capable to go to calculated positions moving one by one in a sequence.
PROGRAMMING
Programming both with Mecal ISO programming or Mecal CAD3D graphic CAD/CAM software are standard. Optional STEP/IGES driver CADLink is available for companies prefer to work with a third party 3D design software.
