HSM-MODAL®
The HSM-MODAL® is a 5-axis high-speed processing centre. It is built in modules and is very light due to the use of carbon fibre materials in many components. Mainly three vital factors - lightweight components (in particular the gantry), the interpolation capabilities of the CNC control unit, and the processing velocity - determine the precision of the HSM-MODAL®. In operation, the HSM-MODAL® can process objects even at high speeds with great precision, i.e. with a deviation of ± 0.1 mm.
The dimensions of the traversing range of the smallest and largest HSM-MODAL® (length/width/height) are 3 m x 3 m x 1.75 m and 151 m x 12.5 m x 4.25 m, respectively. Traversing ranges of further HSM-MODAL® machines may vary between these two end models so that every customer may find the optimal HSM-MODAL® for his purpose. To be specific: the HSM-MODAL® can adapt its traversing range in 2 m, 1 m and 0.5 m steps (length/width/height) to accommodate individual customer requirements.
A tailor-made HSM-MODAL® can also be constructed, should these options not meet the exact customer specifications. If, at a later date, the HSM-MODAL® needs to produce larger parts, the length can be readily extended to a maximum of 151 m.
