Two new solutions have been unveiled by SCM to further enhance and integrate its popular morbidelli x range. By applying high speed and maximum flexibility to nesting machining, the company aims to meet a market demand that is increasingly focused on batch one production.
In so doing, SCM once again demonstrates its ability to transfer high performance onto entry level solutions, delivering a number of advantages which differentiate its nesting range at highly competitive prices. Every detail has been designed with a view to making all the necessary features accessible from an efficiency, machining quality and predictive maintenance point of view.
With regards to software, it not only has the new Maestro Lab intuitive and dynamic CAD/CAM design system for programming both from the office and machine, but the morbidelli x50 and x100 also have a state-of-the-art SCM Smart cut algorithm.
Elimination of both unproductive times and waste, alongside a reduction in energy consumption and material scraps, are the main advantages of this optimiser which proves ideal for the nesting cut of even the smallest pieces.
SCM Smart cut applies sequences and cutting technologies which, without affecting either the speed or arrangement of the pieces in the program, improve the finishing quality and reduce cycle times.
Highlighted for both machining centres, there is also the SMS – Spoilboard Management System software, an advanced solution which makes it easier for the operator to manage the spoil panel signalling pro-actively.
Innovations of the mechanical characteristics
One example is the worktable with High Grip Vacuum technology on the morbidelli x50. Practical and sturdy, it is “the only one of its kind to guarantee a strong grip on the piece thanks to a patented deflector which distributes the vacuum across the whole surface, thus maximising the grip even in the case of panels that are smaller than the machine’s overall area”.
Another advantage of the morbidelli x50 is its flexibility courtesy of the XS Device, which makes it easier for the operator to refer and machine all the pieces directly on the spoil panel, even the smallest ones.
Also worth noting is the SAFE – Safe Advanced Fixed Equipment protection system, which delivers maximum operator safety at all times. This occurs due to a perimeter photocell system which provides free access to all four sides to machine right across the board. The advantages of the morbidelli x50 are rounded off with the top performances of the drilling units, with 8000rpm RO.AX technology, and boring units capable of machining in nesting up to 40m per minute.
The innovation at the heart of SCM’s new machining centres for nesting is further amplified with the morbidelli x100. The model is available in different versions, from stand-alone machine to integrated cell with automatic flexstore magazine, right up to the push- and mat-versions, respectively fitted with automatic pusher and motorised unloading belt to simplify and speed up the exit of the pieces in complete safety and, in this latter case, even without manual interventions.
Another distinctive feature is the maximum grip on the piece guaranteed by Smart vacuum, the system which concentrates the vacuum only in the parts still to be machined, thus avoiding dispersion in the areas already nested. An innovation that has been added to an already high-performing worktable with PHE– Phenolic High Efficiency technology especially designed for use with the spoil panel.
