Designed for tool production, the Aries NGP is equipped with a FANUC SCARA robot, integrated oil filtration and temperature control. All this, requireing less than 3.5 m² of floor space. The 4-axis horizontal robot is the first choice in terms of speed (6.5 seconds) and repeatability. With impressive ease and precision, the ultra-compact Aries NGP cuts high-tech cutting ceramics and proves that it is in no way inferior to its larger sister models in terms of precision.
The Qg1 CAD/CAM grinding software allows quick and easy programming of the tools. Thanks to the immense database Toogle, the machine is ready for production after a few clicks.
The cutting ceramic silicon aluminum oxide nitride, SiAlON for short, from the CeramTec company is used as the material. SiAlON is characterized in particular by its hard and wear-resistant surface and extremely fracture-resistant core. The optimum balance between toughness and wear resistance enables high cutting parameters during roughing. The material properties can be adjusted according to the main application of the cutting task. In particular, the cutting ceramic shows its advantages over carbide in the machining of Inconel and nickel alloys, which are mainly used in the aerospace and energy and gas industries.
