A German, Saxon company has developed a mobile machine tool, which is able to machine locally large work pieces with the accuracy and efficiency of ambitious static machines. The rotor of a gas turbine, e. g., may be repaired on site using the mobile machine. The 5-axis machine tool is distinguished by a modular construction enabling customisation to any special requirement. The company seeks for partners from metal working industry for commercial agreements with technical assistance.
The mobile machine newly developed by a Saxon company, in
Germany, has been derived from a family of static machines which are distinguished by both low mass
movement owing to the replacement of mechanical components by mechatronic ones and a modular
construction enabling simple and affordable customization to any special production requirement.
The mobile machine may be placed on-site in power stations, e.g., in order to repair big and heavy
parts like gas turbine rotors.
The machine provides an operation accuracy of +/- 0,010 mm and a
repeat of accuracy of 0,003 mm. A high machining speed of up to 45 m/min and acceleration in all
directions of up to 10 m/s2 can be achieved.
The application spectrum involves simultaneous 5-axis
machining of various materials, high speed cutting, hard milling, out of round turning and
turn-milling, respectively, as well as the accomplishment of roboter functions like getting the work
piece with the main spindle. Optionally, laser machining and work piece measuring may be integrated.
Innovative Aspects:
- The mobile machine tool goes to the work piece, thus allowing for local
processing extremely big and heavy parts.
- The mobility of the machine does not impair its accuracy
and efficiency, which remains the same as ambitious static machines.
- The machine may be easily and
swiftly mounted on the ground.
- Saving time and costs by transporting the machine instead of the
work piece.
- Energy saving due to the replacement of mechanical by mechatronic parts, thus low
connection power.
