Alpha DS high speed and portal machining centers

Porta Machining Centers
In addition to the High Speed Machining
Centers DS Technology manufactures
Portal Machining Centers with fixed or adjustable cross rails. The Portal Machining Center series is designed for applications in the aircraft, tool and die, powered-vehicle-construction-industry in addition to general mechanical engineering. If neccesary Portal Machining Centers can be linked with aditional machines. There is also the possibility to interlink Portal and High Speed Machining Centers to form a flexible manufacturing system to machine large size components from rough material to the finished part.

The machining of pivoting bogies for rail vehicles is a typical machining task for Portal Machining Centers. Idle times can be largely reduced by pallet change or seperated work zones, through the simultaneous setting of components in the machining time. Efficient roughing and finishing of e.g. large gear boxes is accomplished using 5-sided machining operations.

lnter-linked manufacturing system consisting of:
2 Portal Machining Centers type TF 20 40 and one coordinate measuring machine, 6 pallets of size 2000 x 4000 mm for machinging of draw dies.

5-sided and 5-axes machining with powerful miliing heads. Our system includes spindle extensions, various angular milling heads, high speed milling heads and fork-type milling heads for indexing or controlled application.

Excellent milling head and tool changing systems. The milling heads are moved into the change position with power drive. The automatic adaptation to the milling unit is followed by automatic clamping and coupling of all supply systems. Tool changing systems are designed for customers demands and the degree of automation desired. According to the machining tasks required, we can supply chain- and rack-magazines.
Our success depends on the success of our customers. Therefore we have a longterm investment in developing and optimizing systems and processes that allow our customers to achieve shorter production times; without compromise to cost and quality. Building on the strength, high accuracy and performance capacity of the basic machines, we offer a comprehensive system of innovative automation stages. Nowhere are our strengths and experience more apparent than when complex and new machining concepts are required. Our knowledge and application of machining technology hold the key to your success. Put us to the test.

Due to innovative machining technoIogy, the FOGS provides a new dimension in high speed milling. The Droop+Rein concept is a quantum concept leap in technological development considering time and quality:
