CMS antares mk3: the high-speed 5-axis machining center
CMS antares mk3, the latest model in the antares series, is a high-speed 5-axis machining center designed to offer exceptional performance in terms of precision, rigidity and versatility.
A machine developed by CMS Advanced Materials Technology to respond proactively and functionally to the increasingly challenging demands of the applicable markets.
Antares mk3 stands out for its ability to optimize workspaces without compromising performance.
Main features of antares mk3
As already mentioned, antares mk3 represents the most recent evolution of the antares series. One of its most important aspects is the monobloc structure, which guarantees exceptional rigidity and remarkable machining precision. This feature reduces fabrication times, making the machine faster and more precise than any other on the market.
The compact design of antares mk3 is another strength of CMS technology. While maintaining the same dimensions as the previous model, antares mk3 has an even larger work area to fabricate larger workpieces, making it ideal for production environments where space is a critical factor.
Moreover, the machine is designed to be transported already assembled, offering the advantage of being mounted in just one day. This drastically reduces installation times.
The rigidity of the monobloc structure not only improves precision, but also helps reduce tool wear to ensure a better surface finish on machined workpieces. The antares mk3 numerically controlled machining center is equipped with a wide range of accessories and customization options that make it extremely versatile and suitable for numerous industrial applications.
The companies antares mk3 is aimed at
Antares mk3 is a machining center designed to meet the needs of companies operating in high-tech sectors, such as prototyping, automotive, aerospace, smelting and motorsports. Production areas that require machines able to fabricate with complex materials, such as carbon fiber, with precision and speed.
The machine can operate either dry or with a cutting fluid. This system provides a continuous flow of cutting fluid over the work area to reduce friction and dissipate the heat generated during machining. This guarantees a high-quality surface finish and prevents the components from overheating, but above all it helps remove chips and debris from the cutting area, offering the best cleaning and exceptional operational flexibility.
Special features of antares mk3
Antares mk3 stands out from other solutions on the market for a series of innovations that improve its performance and efficiency. One of its strengths is the section of the ram, which reaches 340 mm despite the compact size of the machine. This provides stability and precision during machining, even on particularly challenging materials.
The machine is equipped with a sound-absorbing casing to reduce the noise generated during machining,improving working conditions for operators.
The monobloc worktable can support 2 tons per square meter, another feature that distinguishes antares mk3 from other 5-axis machining centers. This high load capacity, combined with the rigidity of the structure, means heavy materials can be machined with extreme precision, making the machine perfect for a wide range of industrial applications.
In addition, the possibility of integrating a chip removal system is an innovative plus. In fact, it is a system that keeps the machine clean while also making the manufacturing process more efficient by reducing machine downtime and increasing productivity.
