ANCA TX Cell 305 mm Linear Machine

Description

ANCA's new TX Linear range includes TX7 Linear and TXcell Linear.TX7 Linear is the new industry benchmark for production grinding and machining of cutting tools and components. With its large working envelope and powerful grinding spindle, TX7 Linear will deliver precision and productivity across the widest range of applications. TX7 Linear finds the perfect balance between proven designs combined with ANCA's newest technologies. The rigid bi-symmetrical column design on the solid polymer concrete base has been the foundation design of ANCA machines over the years. Now, in addition, ANCA's new LinX cylindrical linear motors and linear glass scales are fitted as standard on X, Y and Z for proven and unsurpassed long term reliability and accuracy. The result is a superior machine that ensures customers will meet ever increasing market demands of precision CNC tool grinding, no matter the industry.Taking the step up to TXcell, keeps all the capabilities of the TX7 Linear and adds automatic tool changing and 9 wheel packs as standard, with the option of up to 24 wheel packs, delivering the ultimate in machine flexibility. Incorporating over 40 years of software experience, TX7 Linear and TXcell Linear run ANCA's ToolRoom application software. This will ensure you can easily program all the tools you know, while allowing scope for others you haven't yet thought of. PerformanceThe TX Linear range uses ANCA LinX Linear Motors for axis motion (X, Y and Z axes). In conjunction with linear scales, a high level of machine precision and performance is able to be achieved, resulting in superior tool accuracy and surface finish. With LinX Linear Motors there is no loss of machine accuracy over time due to wear and it is not affected by temperature variations. The LinX Linear Motor has higher axis speed and acceleration leading to reduced cycle times. It achieves this while maintaining a smoother axis motion.Unique Cylindrical design Existing flat bed type of linear motors can have some drawbacks when used with tool grinders. A cylindrical design overcomes these drawbacks which is why ANCA developed this particular design of Linear Motor for their new TX Linear range. Reliable The cylindrical LinX Linear Motors experience less wear as there are no contacting parts. They have been specially designed for a lifetime of operation in harsh grinding environments. As the magnetic field is cylindrical there is no additional down force on the rails or machine base.Rated to IP67 With the unique cylindrical design the LinX Linear Motor is sealed to IP67. This sealing keeps out grinding contamination helping to extend the life of the linear motor.Does not need a separate chiller unit The LinX uses less energy than an equivalent flat bed style linear motor and has the same power consumption as a ballscrew system but with more efficiency. The design of the motor also naturally isolates any heating effects from the machine. Because of this reduced heat load the LinX does not need a separate chiller unit and uses the machine's regular coolant system reducing required floor space and power.The new benchmark universal grinderTX7 Linear is ANCA's premium grinding machine, aimed at the most demanding and diverse applications. The TX7 Linear's large working envelope allows you to grind the widest range of tools, from a simple 3mm endmill, to a 400mm long drill or a 300mm diameter face cutter. The 37kW grinding spindle, mounted in a rigid machine design, ensures heavy grinding operations too, can be completed with ease. TX7 Linear includes, LinX linear motors on X, Y and also Z axis, ensuring a life time of uncompromised precision. Automation and a range of machine accessories
