Reliable and powerful spindle

A 3.5 kW spindle with manual tool change or a 9 kW spindle with automatic tool change and air cooling system to ensure optimal tool torque for better cutting. Its simple and rational design provides power and reliability.

3500 W

spindle power

30 mm Guide rails

30mm HIWIN® guide rails are installed and fixed on the ground frame with 2 x 2 horizontal carriages to support the entire weight of the gantry and ensure the necessary support for the rigidity of your milling machine. The carriages are equipped with high-performance patented automatic lubrication systems, ensuring optimal sliding and extended service life.

Servomotors

Faster and more precise than stepper motors, servomotors are capable of performing machining operations on large workpieces without losing step. Their high torque allows for high feed speeds during operation. Their operation also reduces vibrations and prevents deviations during cutting, while extending the lifespan of your machine.

Planetary gear reducers

Planetary gear reducers from Nidec Leroy-Somer between the motor shaft and the drive system of each axis for high precision in movement while minimizing backlash.

Helical rack and pinion gears

X and Y axis drive by helical rack and pinion gears for high-speed movement while reducing vibrations and backlash, as well as providing maximum torque transmission.

Table suction system

Your workpieces are held by suction on the table thanks to our pump system. No need to clamp your parts, which will speed up your production rate. Power ranges from 5.5 kW to 15 kW, with a double-stage version for better workpiece holding on small surfaces.

Control panel

Mobile industrial control panel on wheels. Joystick with wheel. Potentiometers for speed adjustment. Simulation, programming, conversational language. Control of options via configurable keys. Reading of ISO codes (G-code, M-code…), DXF, and PDF. File transfer from a USB flash drive or via a local network using an RJ45 cable. Pauses during machining, block-by-block or line-by-line reading, and program rewind.

Available brands: Fanuc, Fagor, Mitsubishi, Heidenhain, Siemens, Weihong, Syntec.

Automatic tool change

The automatic tool changer includes:

a tool magazine
ISO30 tool holders
ER32 collets
a 9 KW spindle with automatic tool change
controller card capable of managing automatic tool change

Operation:

When a tool change is necessary, the spindle automatically positions itself above the tool magazine to place the current tool holder and pick up a new one. The tool holder consists of an ISO30 cone at the top and a collet (ER type) that clamps the cutter at its shank. The cone is held to the spindle by a pneumatic system-controlled latch. Once the tool holder is secured, automatic measurement of the new tool length is optional: the spindle positions itself above the automatic probe and descends in the Z axis until it touches the end of the cutter. Machining can then begin. The automatic tool change requires a pneumatic power supply to hold the cones on the spindle. A compressor is necessary and requires the following minimum specifications (power: 5.5 kW (7.5 HP); volume: 1000 L; pressure: 0.8 MPa (8 bar); flow rate: 0.7 m³/min).

Ground steel table

Ground steel table with T-slots for machining heavy parts with high precision.

Vacuum table with T-slots for quick setup

The vacuum table holds workpieces by suction without the need for clamping devices.

The vacuum table includes:

grid table
4 to 12 independent suction zones controllable via valves
aluminum T-slots for clamping parts if necessary
suction pipes under the table
valve taps on the side of the frame to control the table zones
a pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each pump

Pump for vacuum table

The vacuum pump includes:

The pump creates a vacuum on the vacuum table. We offer suction systems ranging from 2 kW to 7 kW of power. The vacuum pump is powered by single-phase for 2 kW models or three-phase for 5 kW and 7 kW models.

Vacuum and chip collector

The chip suction system includes:

a vacuum cleaner
a collector
a hose
a support for hose passage
an electronic manual and automatic start system
a suction nozzle with brush at the spindle (with automatic lift on machines equipped with automatic tool change)

It allows for the suction and collection of chips and dust generated during machining. An advanced version of the chip vacuum uses a cyclonic system coupled with a filter to capture fine particles down to 3 µm.

DSP control interface with joystick

To ensure the reliability of our systems, LUQUE Machines equips its CNC milling machines with DSP controllers or fully integrated control panels. These controllers incorporate the program reader and trajectory calculators internally within the machine. In addition to improving reliability and precision, these interfaces are simpler to use.

Micro-lubrication system for tool parts

The micro-lubrication system sprays micro-droplets onto the parts and tool to lubricate, cool, and capture dust during machining. You can spray water, cutting oil, or just air.

The micro-lubrication system includes:

cutting fluid reservoir
an adjustable spray nozzle
cutting fluid flow adjustment system
spray pressure adjustment system
a liquid recovery tray can be added to the table

4th rotary axis for part manufacturing by rotation

The 4th rotary axis includes a chuck, a tailstock, and a control board capable of managing a 4th axis. It allows for milling the part while it rotates.

Tangential blade

The tangential and oscillating blade includes a spindle fixed to the gantry capable of moving cutting blades. It allows for cutting soft materials.

Automatic loading table

The loading table allows for the automatic loading of panels onto the milling machine table. This system provides full autonomy for the machine on a production line. It is also possible to add an unloading table for machined parts or a robotic arm to perform this operation.

Laser safety barriers

The immaterial laser barriers are a safety feature. This system stops the machine if a person or object enters a defined area around the milling machine.

Complete machine enclosure

The complete machine enclosure isolates the milling machine to protect the environment from chip projections, dust, fumes, noise, and accidents. An emergency stop system can be added in case the doors are opened.

4th axis on the spindle for edge machining and creating raised profiles.

The 4th axis on the spindle includes a rotating axis along the B-axis, presented as a pivot link between the gantry and the spindle. It allows the spindle to be tilted and enables machining along planes whose normal is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

4th and 5th simultaneous axes

The 4th and 5th axes on the spindle include two rotating axes along the A and B axes, presented as two pivot links in series between the gantry and the spindle. They allow the spindle to be tilted and enable machining along planes whose normal is perpendicular to the 5th rotation axis, while the latter is itself perpendicular to the 4th rotation axis.

Dual horizontal spindle

The dual horizontal spindle includes two horizontal spindles fixed to the gantry, with their respective chucks oriented opposite to each other. It allows for milling and drilling on the edge of plates.

Circular saw

The circular saw includes a cutting disc, an adjustable motorized system, and a control board capable of managing the circular saw. It allows for cutting workpieces.

Plasma cutting

The plasma cutter includes a plasma torch, a control board capable of managing the plasma cutter, a height controller, a sawtooth table, and plasma cutting software. It must be powered by a plasma generator.

All custom options, modifications, and our services can be added to this.
