Breton Matrix E2

The use of a Dual Drive system with two motors guarantees high force for the heaviest duty operations, exploiting the power of both motors delivering their maximum output in the same direction. For higher precision work the preload value is increased automatically to obtain the maximum accuracy.
The Dual Drive system has lower energy consumption than linear motors and it does not require dedicated cooling systems.

The entire Z axis is free of components that could interfere with the operating range because the space occupied by the RAM is the same as or less than that occupied by the head. This is an advantage for deep machining work or when movements are required in confined spaces. Motion is provided via 2 recirculating ball screws with double preloaded nuts, and the axis moves on 2 solid guides at the rear of the machine connected to the carriage via 5 runner blocks: all solutions aimed at achieving the maximum stability.

The work area is clad with modular stainless steel panels. Not only do they tend to keep cleaner, but they also remain almost unchanged through time, despite constant exposure to dust and chips.

Matrix E2 can be fitted with various types of tool stores, all of which fully compatible with the new tool changer – now even faster and more compact. On the one hand this allowed us to design the column to make it as stiff as possible, and on the other hand it offers the freedom to expand or alter the store to accommodate evolving requirements.

The hydraulic and pneumatic power units of Matrix E2 are grouped together in a compact and orderly manner in a dedicated area to facilitate diagnostics and maintenance. The modular and scalable upper part is fitted for possible future additions to the machine with accessories and/or automations.
For cleanliness and safety, a fluid collection tray is fitted at the base of the cabinet to prevent the release of pollutant liquids into the environment.

Like other Breton products, Matrix E2 can be optionally equipped with a vast range of rotary tables that can be integrated in the base frame. This allows combined milling operations on cylindrical elements or complex geometries.
