Gearbox and axes refurbishment
Project goal
A flexible solution capable of accomplishing all possible operations in the refurbishment of windpower gearboxes, providing the highest productivity parameters in the machining of large format parts and those with great technical complexity, making it possible to machine different shapes and sizes.
Project solution
Multitasking solution to perform milling, boring, turning and gear hobbing operations on a single machine for multiple components of different shapes and sizes efficiently and accurately.
SORALUCE FS 10000 multitasking.
- High capacity (LxWxH): 10,000 x 1,600 x 3,600 mm.
- Flexible working area on a floor plate of 11,000 x 2,500 x 300 mm with a Ø 2,000 mm table for working both horizontally and vertically (4th axis).
- Tailstock and a steady rest for parts of Ø 1,100 mm.
- Stepless universal head, capable of achieving highly accurate positioning with an indexing capability of 0.001º x 0.001º and 46 kW, 1,530Nm, 6,000 rpm.
- Large size boring and facing head.
- Automatic head and tool changing system with storage for up to 60 tools.
- Operator’s platform with vertical movement.
- Sistema DAS® (Patented), active damping system to eliminate chatter, protecting the machine and assuring long term precision.
- Soraluce custom cycles:
- Boring head management: cones, threads, et.
