CNC Machining and Toolroom

Building on a strong foundation in EDM significant investment has been made in CNC milling and CNC turning equipment.

A range of Hurco CNC machining centres including a large capacity VMX64 (1625x862x762mm) ensure that A&M can offer the highest levels of service and quality to a wide range of customers.

This is backed by a highly skilled team and comprehensive toolroom that features a vast array of conventional machining equipment.

When this is combined with the EDM facility A&M deliver a true "one-stop shop" for customer's precision engineering requirements.

VM10U

The VM10U combines the efficient design of the popular VM Series with the advanced 5-axis technology only available with the integrated Hurco control. Efficient design yields a machining centre with a compact footprint and an extraordinarily large work cube. Our advanced 5-axis technology simplifies production of complex multi-sided parts. And the VM10U is designed to be a true 5-axis, unlike many competitive models that simply attach a trunnion table to a 3-axis machine.

• High capacity table rotates faster and handles more weight.
• Intuitive 5-sided conversational programming requires only one part setup.
• The integrated trunnion table provides exceptional part clearances and larger part capacity.
• Integrated Hurco control powered by WinMax® software has 5-axis features that simplify complexity.

Sodick 430 L HS

DESIGNED & BUILT FOR HIGH SPEED MILLING

Sperodial Castings
This material is known for its strength and ability to resist temperature changes, and provide excellent shock and vibration dampening characteristics for superior machine rigidity.

Linear Motor Axis Drives
Sodick's high speed mills use linear motor-based axis drives. Linear motors have no moving parts (ball-screws, ball-nuts, rotary motor). Therefore, no component will thermally expand, and there will be no-backlash in the drive system. Linear motors provide high acceleration (1.2G) and high speed feeds (1,440"/min.).

40,000 rpm Oil-Air Spindle
Sodick's original high-speed spindle is designed to run at high-rpm while maintaining stiffness without over heating.

K-SMC Motion Controller
Sodick's K-SMC motion controller maximizes the speed and acceleration of the linear motor axes drives, resulting in improved table positioning accuracy and reduced axes delays.

Control Technology
Sodick's LN2X CNC comes equipped with SEPT (1,000 block look ahead feature), which helps to ensure the received data will be handled quickly and efficiently. Programs can be transferred via USB port or a high speed 3mb/sec Ethernet connection. This Windows XP based control uses ISO G code format and has plenty of memory including a 30G hard drive 30MB of RAM.
