High-Speed 5-Axis Vertical Gantry Machining Centres

High-dynamic 5-axis gantry vertical machining centre

Designed to overcome the common limits of this product category: reduced robustness and poor repeatability over time.
Thanks to its optimised design, Breton Hawx is not only more rigid and stable but also guarantees an excellent size-towork area ratio.
It is easily integrated into all production environments, it’s delivered already assembled and tested; it does not require special foundations and has minimal commissioning times.

3D printer for large-scale production of thermoplastic materials

Genesi is Breton's product range dedicated to the Additive Manufacturing industry. Starting from the analysis of extrusion processes, Breton has developed a wide range of machining centres to exploit the potential of 'Large Additive Manufacturing' on thermoplastic materials. Breton Genesi is available in different versions:

The Breton Genesi E2 series has a maximum extrusion capacity of 60 kg/hr and consists of 3 models: they differ in working area, footprint and additional milling processes. Genesi E2+M is the E2 model that can also perform milling operations.

The Breton Genesi E3 series has a maximum extrusion capacity of 200 kg/hr and, thanks to its modular design, is available in several sizes in pure additive or with additional milling capability.

High-dynamic 5-axis gantry vertical machining centre with modular structure

The wide range of available structural combinations makes it possible to have a configuration tailored to the required work volumes. The technical equipment makes it ideal for high-speed precision machining of elements with complex three-dimensional shapes in light alloy, resin or composite materials.

This machining center is positioned in an intermediate range to satisfy many market demands, for dynamics, precision and machinable volumes.
Its high modularity in the strokes, with Z axis that can go from 1.000 mm to 2.500 mm, the multiple combinations of heads and electrospindles together with the various accessories available, allow Eagle to perform a wide range of machining in all sectors.

Modular 5-axis gantry vertical machining center with high dynamics and high precision

Careful technical choices made it possible to combine thrust and strength with dynamics and precision, in order to obtain the ideal performance in hi-feed roughing, semi-finishing and finishing operations on large parts in steel, light alloy or special composites.

Matrix E3 is used in applications where high precision and large part machining is required, such as in the aerospace (structure and tool machining), automotive (high precision prototyping, moulds and composite structures), mould making and general precision engineering.

The Dual Drive motors guarantee power and precision; they move together to achieve maximum thrust when the machining requires significant effort, while working “in preload” when the machine is performing high precision machining. Breton technologies such as High Dynamics and Thermal Shield provide a superior surface finish.

It is the result of careful technical choices that combine thrust and sturdiness with dynamics and precision to obtain the ideal performance in high-feed roughing, semi-finishing and finishing operations on medium-large size parts made of steel, light alloys, or special composites.

Matrix E2 is the ideal solutionin application fields where high precision and machining of medium-large size pieces is required, such as in the aerospace sector (machining of structures and equipment), in the construction of large moulds, in the automotive sector (extremely precise moulds and composite components) and in general precision engineering.

To guarantee surfaces with a superior finish, Matrix E2 uses High Dynamics and Thermal Shield technologies, both developed by Breton.

High-dynamic and high-precision 5-axis gantry vertical machining centre

Available in different configurationsto best meet the needs of specific applications including moulds, aerostructures and composite machining.
It is particularly suitable for hi-feed roughing, semi-finishing and finishing operations on medium size parts made of steel, light alloys and special composites.

The monoblock structure ensures greater machine stiffness. The direct motors on all linear axes increase precision and dynamics by eliminating backlash and vibrations caused by belts.

The thermal expansions control is guaranteed by the thermo-symmetric structure along with the Thermalshield technology, increasing both precision and repeatability over time. Matrix E1 arrives already assembled and can be installed on flat foundations allowing to halve the time and cost of installation.

Multitasking vertical machining center with rotary table and independent turning bar

It performs high-precision milling, turning and grinding operations, and provides the most efficient performance on light alloys, steel and super alloys. Designed to work with high dynamics (jerk, accelerations and speed) without using linear motors, it allows to obtain a considerable energy saving and to guarantee all the thrust necessary even in the heaviest operations.

The rigid monoblock structure made of Metalquartz ensures maximum rigidity and stability and allows comfortable and safe access for the operator while maintaining ergonomics and visibility of the workpiece.

The Ultrix range is composed of three models, the largest of which can process workpieces up to 1,600 mm in diameter.

Modular 5-axis gantry vertical machining center with high power and high precision

A combination of strength and accuracy on large dimensions to obtain the maximum performance in roughing, semi-finishing and finishing operations on pieces made of tough material, steel or metal alloys. Available also in the Mill-Turn version (Flymill MT), it combines the functionalities of a vertical lathe with those of a continuous 5 -axis milling machine, extending the range of tasks that can be achieved in a single setup.

Flymill is the machining center designed to process parts on very large volume and to perform operations on tough materials where high power and torque are required.

It stands out for its possibility to combine milling and turning operations in a single setup, exploiting the potential of the turning table and of the automatic head change, to automatically switch from the powerful milling head to the extremely rigid turning head.

High-dynamic 5-axis gantry vertical machining center

The design suitable for large workpieces, electrospindles up to 40 kW and the right degree of robustness, allow high-speed milling and trimming operations on elements with a complex 3D shape such as light alloys, resins, and composite materials.

Thanks to the linear axis speed up to 80m/min and to the rotary tilting head with ± 200° rotation nof the C-axis and 0° +115° rotation of the A-axis, it shows excellent performances both for dynamics and precision in the execution of complex profiles.

It allows the use of spindles with 40 kW of power and 28,000 rpm, giving the machine a considerable removal capacity. In its largest version it, reaches a considerable machining volume, up to 8.000 x 4000 mm surface and 2000 mm height.
