Machining Center Description
CMS type: ARES-6026-PX5 Machining Center
Structure and Carriage Movements
CNC machining center with a fixed
working plane and moving bridge.
The machine base is made of thick,
welded, stabilized steel, designed for
strength and rigidity. The X axis
movement is carried out by a moving
bridge. The Y axis transversal
movement is carried out by a
carriage moving on the bridge. The Z
axis carriage, vertical movement, is
mounted on the X axis carriage.
The carriages move via four-way
recirculating ball track bearings on
large cross section, interchangeable, inserted guide ways (STAR Type) that are
hardened and ground.
Axis movement is controlled by AC brushless servomotors.
The movement of each axis takes place with a hardened and ground precision rack in
which a precision pinion meshes.
Tilting central post on the front of the machine.
The X and Y axes guides are supplied with bellows covers.
The Z axis guides are supplied with double scrapers.
Working Area
The machine has a welded steel
working table with threaded holes
in a pattern of 600 mm x 300 mm
(23.62” x 11.81”) for attaching
fixtures.
The table has hoppers around the
internal sides of the table making
the collection and removal of chips
easier and is predisposed for a
suction system on the back of the table.

Mounted on top of the steel working table is a
vacuum table for clamping pieces in work. The
surface is milled in a grid pattern for roundsectioned
gaskets that can be inserted into the
table grooving to delimit the vacuum area to be
used. Arranged on this grid pattern are threaded
holes with bushing. These holes can be used
either to create a passage for the vacuum from
the vacuum chamber located on the bottom of
the table to the surface of the table or for
clamping spoil boards and various fixtures. The
vacuum is sealed off from the surface by a bolt with an O-ring.
The vacuum table has a working height of 530 mm (20.87”) from the floor.
Working Unit
Working Unit type “PX5”.
The head is equipped with two NC controlled rotating
axes, the fourth and fifth axis, allowing the head to be
rotated in any direction.
The axes are moved by AC motors coupled with high
precision reduction units.
The head is equipped with a special spindle with
bearings designed for high rotation speeds.
The electrospindle is cooled by a liquid refrigeration
system that recirculates the coolant.
The electrospindle is equipped with automatic
toolchanging ability with a HSK 63E connection that
works with an eight-place toolchanging rack mounted
under the center of the X axis.
The PX5 working unit is equipped with
pneumatic brakes for clamping the B and C
axes in a fixed position. This allows an
increase in rigidity during machining that
does not require the interpolation of the B
and C axes.
Tool blowing device.
The static frequency converter constantly
regulates the speed and the rotational direction of the electrospindle.

A dust collection hose from the back of the machine to the PX5 working unit is
supplied.
Mist lubrication unit with 6.5-liter (1.7-gallon) pressurized tank.
Electrospindle Characteristics
Power 15 kW (20.1 HP) at 12,000 rpm / S1
19 kW (25.4 HP) at 12,000 rpm / S6 40%
Maximum revolution speed 24,000 rpm
Internal Cooling By liquid
Tool cooling Air pressure or coolant – from external hose
Connection shaft HSK 63F
Torque 12.1 Nm (8.9 foot-pounds) / S1
15.4 Nm (11.3 foot-pounds) / S6 40%
Bearing type Ceramic (front-back)
