CNC copy milling machine

For preparing plastic pipe samples (sometimes referred to as “dumbbell” specimens or “dogbone” specimens) for e.g. tensile tests and other kinds of elongation tests

Description

The SCITEQ Precision CNC Milling machine (computer-controlled) consists of a base frame with a linear movement milling top. Three axes (X, Y, Z) are available. The working area is 600 x 420 mm and the miller may prepare pipe samples with a wall thickness up to 110 mm.

The milling machine is ideal for preparing plastic pipe samples (‘dumbbell’ or ‘dog bone’ specimens) for e.g. tensile tests and other kinds of elongation tests. The CNC miller is supplied with pipe samples templates according to ISO 6259 types 1, 2 and 3. Other types on request.

Plug and play

A CNC controller (is part of the delivery and by means of software to be installed on a PC (PC not included), milling is performed. Further, software for engraving, cutting and drilling is included but not pre-programmed.

The spindle is equipped with a nozzle and pipe to remove the milling swarf/chips from the table. The CNC miller is supplied with pipe samples templates according to ISO 6259 types 1, 2 and 3. Other types on request.

A protection hood shields the operator and electromagnetic sensors ensure that the machine cannot be operated while the hood is open.

The system can be supplied with a vacuum device which removes the soft milling swarf into a storage bag. This can be retro-fitted if so desired.
