The automatic tool changer includes:

• a tool magazine
• ISO30 tool-holder tapers
• ER32 collets
• a 9 kW spindle with automatic tool change
• a controller board capable of managing automatic tool change

Operation:

When a tool change is required, 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 taper at the top and a chuck (ER collet) that clamps the cutter on its shank. The taper is held in the spindle by a latch controlled by a pneumatic system. Once the tool holder is secured, optional automatic measurement of the new tool length can be performed: the spindle positions itself above the automatic probe and moves down in Z until the tip of the cutter touches it. Machining can then begin.

Automatic tool change requires a pneumatic supply to hold the tapers in the spindle. A compressor is required with the following minimum specifications (power: 5.5 kW (7.5 hp); volume: 1,000 L; pressure: 0.8 MPa (8 bar); flow rate: 0.7 m³/min).

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

The vacuum table includes:

• a grid table
• 4 to 12 independent vacuum zones controlled by valves
• aluminum T-slots for clamping parts if needed
• vacuum hoses 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

The vacuum pump includes:

• a vacuum pump
• a vacuum system
• an air filter
• a silencer
• a safety valve
• a soft starter
• a thermal safety relay
• a manual and automatic control system

The pump creates vacuum at the vacuum table. We offer vacuum systems between 5 kW and 15 kW for standard routers. The vacuum pump is powered by three-phase for models over 5 kW, or single-phase for models under 5 kW.

The chip extraction system includes:

• a dust extractor
• a collector
• a hose
• a hose support
• a manual and automatic electronic start system
• a suction nozzle with brush at the spindle (automatically lifted on machines equipped with automatic tool change)

It extracts and collects chips and dust generated during machining. An advanced version of the chip extractor uses a cyclone system coupled with a filter to capture fine particles down to 3 µm.

To ensure the reliability of our systems, LUQUE Machines equips its CNC routers with DSP controllers or fully integrated control panels. These controllers integrate the program reader and toolpath calculators inside the machine. In addition to improving reliability and accuracy, these interfaces are easier to use.

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

The micro-lubrication system includes:

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

The 6th rotary axis includes a chuck, a tailstock and a suitable control board capable of managing a 6th axis. It enables milling the part while it rotates.

The 6 simultaneous axes include two rotary axes on the spindle along the B and C axes, presented as two serial revolute joints between the gantry and the spindle, plus a rotary axis on the table along A or B. They allow the spindle to be oriented at an angle in two dimensions and to machine along planes whose normal is perpendicular to the 6th rotary axis, while the latter is itself perpendicular to the 5th rotary axis.

The tangential and oscillating knife includes a spindle mounted on the gantry capable of driving cutting blades. It allows cutting flexible materials.

The circular saw includes a cutting blade, an orientable motorized system and a control board capable of managing a circular saw. It allows cutting parts.

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

The loading table automatically loads panels onto the router table. This system provides full machine autonomy 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 light curtains are a safety feature. This system stops the machine if a person or object enters a defined area around the router.

Full machine enclosure isolates the router to protect the environment from chip projection, dust, fumes, noise, accidents…

An emergency stop system can be added in case the doors are opened.
