The Hurricane 650 5 axis traveling bridge machine center features a table size of Ø650 mm, and a work envelope size applicable for complicated simultaneous contouring required for high accuracy machining applications. Superior +/- 3 microns machine accuracy increases profits and reduces scrap. This machine is designed to support the aerospace, medical, molding, automotive and other advanced industries.
The VMX650FX series is engineered using a Traveling Column Bridge to provide rigidity, accuracy, power, and durability, in production of 3 and 5 axis machined parts. The VMX650FX series also offers the option of adding a “Pallet Pool”, improving ease of automation. The full system is controlled by a FANUC 31i-B5, features continuous motion, and produces sophisticated 5 axis parts. High Precision 35/45/45mm roller linear guides are used with robust Ø45mm pre-tensioned C2 class ball screws delivering reliable accuracy on X/Y/Z Axes. A Heidenhain rotary encoder is included on the tilting rotary axis for your most demanding applications. Dual contact #40 tool holding with two face clamping enables rigid machining and reduces tool wear. An optional HSK A63 spindle is offered, if desired.
➢ The WLMD process eliminates the safety hazards of powder deposition methods
➢ Reduces material costs as parts are printed to a “near net finish” (within .040”)
eliminating removal of excess material, and reducing Cycle Time, labor, and
power consumption costs.
➢ Eliminates costs of Work Holding fixtures & reduces Set Up time.
➢ A part can be made using two different metals, i.e. mild steel as a core metal
while the outside is finished with titanium using the “Twin Wire” function.
➢ WLMD parts have fewer voids – 99.9998% denser than forgings or castings.
➢ Enables parts to be made with internal passageways for gas or liquid flow.
➢ Allows prototype parts to be made in hours rather than days or weeks.
➢ No billet needed; all parts can be printed from wire, eliminating sawing and
reducing required storage.

Each axis is driven by high precision C2 class ballscrews. All ballscrews are centered between the guide ways. Linear axes have 4/4/6 trucks for maximum rigidity. Ballscrews are pretensioned and supported at each end with angular contact thrust bearings. All axes are connected directly to digital servo drive motors for immediate response and accuracy.
