MAXIMA 1600 - installation at customer's site

MAXIMA is a vertical multi-purpose 6-axis high-speed machining centre designed for milling and turning operations and machines parts with diameters up to 3500 in superalloys (titanium, Inconel etc), steel, aluminium and composites.

MAXIMA is the perfect solution for turning, milling, boring and tapping complex 3-D components  used in the aeronautical, energy and precision engineering industries. A single machine for transforming  raw materials into a finished product minimising workpiece repositioning times.

The linear axes can reach speeds of up to 60 m/min and worktable rotary speeds of up to 500 rpm. The axes are structurally robust and the milling/turning worktable can be supplied with  diameters of up to 3000mm,  operational torques up to 28000 Nm and loading capacities of 12000 kg.

MAXIMA can be supplied in a  choice of configurations allowing you to perform complex machining jobs with maximum flexibility, performance and efficiency with work ranges spanning from 2200x2500x1200 mm3 up to 10000x3500x2000 mm3 and over. 

This range incorporates an automatic head changeover system and six interpolated axes making these machines highly flexible when performing milling, turning and vertical turning operations. When milling the entire work area is exploited in full. 
The 5-axis milling head - with continuous axis C rotation, axis A rotation up to 135° -  mounts spindles with a torque output of maximum 1300Nm and can be positioned at any angle and is locked in place by powerful hydraulic brakes.    Special heads are available for internal and external turning operations.

Machining and finishing precision is guaranteed thanks to the limited geometric tolerances, thermal stability and the implementation of a specific software for compensating  spindle thermal expansion and  drifts which occur when machining and production conditions vary. 

The range of electrospindles enhance the MAXIMA range of machining centres  satisfying specific  production requirements.  And more detail:  M 1000/06 (100 kW, continuous torque 1000 Nm  in S1 and rotary speed of up to 6000 rpm) has been designed and developed for heavy-duty machining operations for milling steel and superalloys from rough milling to precision finishing; M 300/14 (75 kW, continuous torque 300 Nm in S1 and 14000 rpm) is the ideal solution for steel and aluminium from rough milling to precision finishing operations; M 51/28 (40 kW, continuous torque 51 NM in S1 and 28000 rpm) is the perfect choice for high-speed machining operations for steel and light alloys from rough milling to precision finishing  operations.

  1. This looks nice and very powerful. Our company sources our plastic CNC machining from Plastic Engineering. Your rig looks very specialized though.

  2. This is a beautiful installation and a very impressive machine. I have been trying to contact Breton to inquire regarding budgetary pricing and options for the Maxima 1600 K/60 and have no response. Possibly not interested in the US?
