Knuth #Servomill-UFM-8-V, Servoconventional Milling Machine

Conventional milling, now easier, more precise and more efficient due to integrated electronics

• The Servomill represents a new generation of advanced milling machines that are operated like a conventional machine
• This machine features a user-friendly design, significantly higher precision and increased machining capacity
• Very high reliability and long service life of all components ensure drastically reduced maintenance and increased reliability
• Rigid frame design with wide guideways and travels
• Servo-conventional drives on all axes, infinitely variable with fast rapid feeds, synchronized with spindle speed
• Preloaded ball screws on X, Y and Z ensure high precision, low maintenance and low wear
• All gears and guideways are hardened and ground
• Swivelling vertical cutter head, pneumatic tool clamping and powerful 7 HP motor
• 2 gear steps for a wide speed range, infinitely variable up to 5000 rpm, and high torque at the spindle
• Horizontal spindle motor with 10 HP

Servomill - Highlights

• Control developed and built in Germany
• Positioning control for traveling pre-selected paths on all axes
• Constant cutting speed, where the feed speed is based on spindle speed
• Zero-backlash preloaded ball screws
• Servo motors on all axes, infinitely variable feed, rapid feed, and speed control
• Electronic spindle load indicator
• Electronic hand-wheels on all axes
• X, Y and Z axes can be controlled via joystick
• Integrated position indicator with glass scale

Your Advantages:

• Easy to use: intuitive operation - practical layout of control elements and streamlined function
• Automatic feed on all axes and infinitely variable rapid feed
• With speeds up to 197 in/min
• Set limit stops on any axis with the push of a button - 3 stop positions per axis can be stored
• More precise: operated via electronic hand-wheels - axes are powered by high-quality servo drives that translate your hand movements with the precision and dynamics of modern CNC machines
• More reliable: drives, spindles, and measuring systems are totally enclosed or mounted in protective enclosures and virtually maintenance-free
• Electronics - made in Germany
• More capacity: this machine only uses premium drive components that are designed for continuous operation
• Maintenance-free: no regular maintenance needed for the entire feed drive

• Advanced Feed Technology:
• Axes are powered by high-quality servo drives that translate your hand movements with the precision and dynamics of modern CNC machines
• Reliable, maintenance-free mass production technology
• High rapid feed rate for reduced machine down-times
• Ball screw drive on all axes:
• Considerably less errors due to loseness (backlash), resulting in significantly higher precision
• Significantly reduced friction, no stick-slip effect, reduced heat buildup, minimal wear
• Electronic hand-wheels:
• Micro-control via electronic hand-wheels offering the same handling and postioning as with a conventional machine, just smoother and more precise
• Joystick control:
• Maximum operator comfort for axis movements
• Easy handling during sequential processing
• Electronically controlled fixed stops:
• Set 2 limit stops at 3 positions on each axis by the push of a button - these buttons are grouped around the feed switch for intuitive control
• This ensures high repeatability during coordinate drilling or pocket cutting, and siginificantly more positions can be set up than on conventional machines
• Constant cutting speed:
• The feed rate is infinitely variable and can be coupled with the spindle speed in a selectable feed-per-spindle revolution ratio in the range of 0.0004 to 0.04 inch/rev
• This ensures a constant feed-per-tooth value and simplifies the operator"s task of optimizing the machining operation
• Electronic spindle load indicator:
• Assists the operator in the most efficient utilization of machine and tool capacities
• Reliable indicator helps avoid damages caused by overloads
