MASTER 23

MANUFACTURER: INTERMAC

COUNTRY: ITALY 

Intermac Master 23 is the latest step in the range of machining centers with four digitally interpolated axes. The ever-increasing demands from customers around the world for machining center flexibility find an answer in these models. The ability to perform ever more diverse types of machining, ensure precision, productivity and maintain high standards of product quality are Intermac’s rules of thumb.

With its advanced technology and application flexibility, the Master 23 can be adapted to the specific production and economic needs of the customer and offers a choice of configurations.

The machine is controlled by a commercially available Windows PC to ensure full compatibility and ease of operation for the operator.

The quality of Intermac products is built in at the design stage. Maximum reliability is ensured by the choice of material, the quality of the individual components and the numerous tests the machines undergo before delivery.

MECHANICAL DESIGN WITH MOVABLE BRIDGE

Welded construction of normalized steel elements with proper stiffening ribs to ensure maximum reliability. The machine structure allows the feeding and unloading of workpieces directly to/from the machine table by means of vacuum stations.

WORKING TABLE

It ensures optimal use of working space, even when processing large items, such as tables and kitchen worktops.

X- AND Y-AXIS MOVEMENTS

It is carried out by means of a helical rack and sliding bearing guides at a speed of 70 m/min and with an acceleration that allows the maximum speed to be reached in the shortest time of 6 m/s2 (in the X axis) and 4.5 m/s2 (in the Y axis).

C-AXIS (OPTIONAL)

The C axis is designed to work with various heads-aggregates, including engraving with a vertical disk with a diameter of 150 mm. The infinite rotation of the “C” axis (Intermac patent) allows the application of complex engraving patterns without additional changes in the tool direction, thereby ensuring high quality.

AUTOMATIC LINEAR MAGAZINE WITH 23 POSITIONS

Provides optimal tool storage and significantly reduces downtime. The machine allows the use of tools with a maximum diameter of 150 mm and weighing no more than 3.5 kg. The units are stored in special forks reinforced with metal plates and brackets supporting this structure from below. The weight of the unit must not exceed 10 kg.

ADDITIONAL 6-POSITION HEAD MAGAZINE (OPTIONAL)

The unique patented Intermac technology, a rotating six-position magazine located on the working head, reduces tool change time, resulting in increased productivity (tool change in 10 seconds).

LASER DEVICE FOR DETECTING GEOMETRIC SHAPES

Designed for point-to-point scanning of the template surface, regardless of the material type. The software automatically reproduces the scanned profile. One of the many advantages of this system is the ability to define points of the interior and exterior profiles of the template in a single pass, eliminating the need for several scanning cycles with a corresponding reduction in dead time.

DRESSER FOR DRILLS AND POLISHING TOOLS (OPTIONAL)

Reduces the usable work area of the work table. The maximum dimensions of the workpiece to be machined with a 100 mm wheel when setting up the dressings is 3,050 x 1,500 mm.

LASER TOOL SETTING SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)

The machine can be equipped with a laser tool setting system to measure and control tool geometry, which serves to ensure that the desired size of the final product is consistent.

TOOL SETTING TELEMETRY SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)

The system is located on the side of the electrical cabinet and is connected directly to the machine software. It is used to constantly monitor tool parameters and allows all wheels of a single set to be set with the help of a telecamera. It provides high speed, accuracy and eliminates the need for test operations before the first part is produced.

LASER SCANNER FOR AUTOMATIC DETECTION OF THE SHEET POSITION ANGLE (OPTIONAL)

The laser scanner installed on the work group recognizes the position of the glass sheet on the work table and allows machining without positioning the stops, which reduces the time of readjustment and ensures maximum accuracy when positioning the sheet.

INTERMAC PC-BASED CNC

The Intermac Windows Numerical Control – installed on a standard Windows PC – provides an extremely easy and intuitive use of the machine for the operator.

LASER SYSTEM FOR PLACEMENT OF SUCTION CUPS

The new laser system allows for faster positioning of the suction cups on the work table, since the working head no longer lowers on the Z-axis during this operation. This saves the operator up to 25% working time.

NEW GENERATION OF ELECTRIC SPINDLES

The 9.2 kW electric spindle with vector speed control from 0 to 12,000 rpm. The four ceramic bearings installed in the electric spindle are designed to withstand a load of 400 kg. Moreover, the hardened steel clamping device provides the necessary strength and avoids deformation during operation.

SPINDLE COOLING SYSTEM

The cooling process involves: an internal cooling system with pure water directly inside the tool (water pressure provides the best cooling of the tool) and an external cooling system with an independent closed loop using a special coolant (antifreeze).

FASTENING DEVICE

Quick-release locking device for tools with ISO 40 shank with a mechanical locking system consisting of a disc spring package and a release system by means of a pneumatic piston with an operating pressure of 7 bar. System of automatic cleaning of the cones during the tool change by direct blowing of the cones with compressed air.

HSD ELECTRIC SPINDLE

Equipped with the patented DPC (Intermac Patent Controlled Water Distributor) system, which prevents accidental water ingress between the rotating and stationary (stator) parts of the electrospindle. The benefits of this system also include reduced wear and the ability to increase the amount of water circulating inside the electrospindle, which guarantees better tool cooling and longer life of the electrospindle itself.
