The innovative Bridgeport XT 630 5AX 5- axis machining centre represents the first of a new generation of machining centres from Bridgeport. It features a travelling beam structure that extends the machining performance in terms of complexity, capacity an
The 630mm diameter table on the XT 630 5AX accommodates a table load capacity of 350kg coupled with 850mm swing diameter. This creates the capacity for complex machining solutions demanded by aerospace, automotive, power generation, medical, mould tool and die and other high precision manufacturing sectors.
The XT 630 5AX machine has a rigid structure that has been developed using FEA analysis and incorporates a travelling beam construction that positions the linear axes independent of the work piece.
The work piece is located on a stiff trunnion table for the two rotary axes which features twin motors in the tilt axis. These enhance the geometric and positioning accuracy when compared with the designs and structures that are used in the manufacture of more conventional 5 axis machines.
The travelling beam with the three linear axes and the trunnion table with twin rotary axes are both located on a rigid one-piece base casting weighing over 5 tons.
