For fast and accurate machining of complex aluminium products, a machining centre with a 100kW has a metal removal rate 10,000cm3/min compared with competing machines of 2000-5000cm3/min.

The single station Unipro 5 machining centre from Unisign is equipped with a 100kW main spindle with speeds of up to 25,000 rev/min. The machine is suitable for fast and accurate machining of complex aluminium products. The machining capacity is 10,000cm3/min.

Until now, comparable machines available on the market had a machining capacity of maximum of 100cm3/kW.

For a customary, stable high speed machine it means 2000-5000cm3/min metal removal rate.

The Unipro 5 offers double and even up to five times the capacity.

In addition to the main spindle drive specifications, high metal removal rates on the Unipro 5 are due to the integral, dynamic behaviour of the machine.

Feed rates of the X-, Y-, Z-, A- and B-axis are up to 60m/min and corresponding acceleration up to 8m/s2 demand a stiff machine tool structure.

Unisign has achieved this by subsequently applying the finite element analysis method to all basic structural parts of the machine.

This has enable the Unipro 5 to exhibit stiffness and stability combined with high precision.
