Nicolás Correa AXIA Milling Machine Configuration

The AXIA milling machine combines advanced technology and over 65 years of expertise in the design, manufacturing, and distribution of milling machines. This extensive experience has led to the sale of more than 600 traveling column milling machines in the last 25 years. The AXIA is a prime example of combining traditional design principles with innovative technology to create a robust and versatile milling machine.

Key Features:

Structural Design:

The AXIA features a combination of welded and cast elements, which provides a unique structure that offers exceptional performance.

Its innovative ram guiding system combines the benefits of both linear guides and friction guides.

The machine also integrates the Box-in-Box concept, which enhances the rigidity and thermal stability of the structure. The ram is symmetrically housed within the casing, and the casing is symmetrically supported by the column, ensuring even weight distribution and stability.

Rigidity and Damping Capacity:

The machine structure is designed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), optimizing its strength and stiffness.

The large section and ribbed structural elements help minimize both static and dynamic deformations.

The ram guide system consists of 2 linear guides and 2 friction guides driven by a hydraulic wedge system.

The Box-in-Box structure contributes to a completely thermo-symmetrical design, reducing the effects of thermal expansion and ensuring long-term accuracy.

Precision:

The linear guides on all three axes ensure smooth and accurate movements.

A tie rod system helps to correct any drooping of the ram, maintaining precision even under heavy machining conditions.

Key elements like the ram, casing, column, and bench are designed with thick walls to reduce deformations during milling.

Cooling System:

The cooling system for the mechanical elements and head helps prevent thermal expansion, ensuring consistent performance.

Flexibility:

The modular longitudinal travel of the machine allows for travel distances of 1500 mm with unlimited extension.

The vertical travel can extend up to 4000 mm, providing flexibility in machining larger workpieces.

Various workholding options are available, including flatbeds, block beds, and rotary moving beds.

Vertical rotary plates with counterpoints or back plates provide additional flexibility for complex workpiece setups.

Automatic Head Changer:

The AXIA comes with an automatic head changer, allowing users to quickly switch between various heads for different tasks.

The machine supports mechanical heads with speeds up to 6000 rpm and 1050 Nm of torque, and higher-speed 5-axis heads that can reach up to 24,000 rpm.

Versatile Machining Solutions:

The AXIA is capable of milling, turning, and boring, making it a versatile machine for a wide range of machining operations.

Additional Accessories:

A wide range of mechanical heads and other accessories are available to further enhance the machine’s capabilities.

The machine supports high precision thanks to its patented mechanical ring blocking system, ensuring reliable and accurate performance for critical applications.

Summary:

The AXIA milling machine is a cutting-edge solution that integrates over 65 years of knowledge and innovation. Its unique design, combining the Box-in-Box structure with advanced guiding systems and cooling technologies, makes it one of the most reliable and precise milling machines available. Whether for high-speed milling or turning and boring applications, the AXIA provides flexibility, rigidity, and precision to meet a wide range of machining requirements.
