BASIC SPECIFICATIONS

Structure

The structure is made of a machine bed with a sliding carriage in its rear section.

Both are in electrowelded steel duly stabilized after each work phase to ensure that there is

no interior tension; they are sized to guarantee stability and precision during machining

operations.

Axes sliding

The axes slide on high precision, robust, reliable linear guide-ways with recirculating

ball blocks equipped with oil scrapers and with medium/high preloading.

Axes movement

The independent axes are controlled by brushless Yaskawa servomotors by means of:

· Pinion, rack and mechanical system for backlash recovery for X axis (longitudinal)

· High precision ground recirculating ball screw and preloaded lead for Y (transversal) and

Z (vertical) axes. The Z axis drive is equipped with an electro-magnetic brake which is

enabled if mains power is cut-off.

The digital servomotors not only allow for short, optimal positioning and adjustment times,

but also high head positioning speed. The position of the axes is detected by means of a

rotating transducer.

The digital servormotors not only allow for short, optimal positioning and adjustment times, but also high head positioning speed. The position of the axes is detected by means of a rotating transducer.

Spindle Head

Constructed with a system of crossed tables in lightweight alloy to obtain a reduction in weight, high resistance to loads and accuracy in the mechanical work they perform, all at the same time. The solution used has considerable advantages in terms of machining precision and maintenance.

Electrospindle

Designed by Fom Industrie, this electrospindle ensures important performances, both at low number of revolutions as well as at high speed, to satisfy the increasing needs in terms of flexibility. The 4kW electrospindle is equipped with constant torque, rotation speed up to 12,000 rpm, adjustable, positioning 0°/ 90°/ 180° for machining the three profile sides, forced air cooling, ISO 30 DIN 69871 tool coupling and relative presence detecting micro-switch. The tools are locked into place mechanically, and released by means of a pneumatic system. Front and rear high speed precision bearings guarantee strict control of the electrospindle axial and radial stress during the work phases. The electrospindle rotation speed is managed by a static frequency changer (inverter), complete with:

• Display for visualisation of diagnostics in case of anomalies.

• Protection from voltage and current overloads.

• Automatically controlled tool rotation braking action.

• Resistor for braking power dissipation.

Tools Lubrication

One of two systems can be used: emulsified oil with liquid recovery by means of a

chips settling system, or pure oil by means of a sprayer with over-pressure device (minimal

lubrication).

Tools Magazine

Located in a gate-protected area in the carriage, it has 12 slots, can rotate in both

directions and is provided with an “absolut” encoder for detecting the position.

The rotation movement is managed by a static frequency changers (inverter) which guarantees more precision and positionig speed.

Working area

2.2. FOM CAM

Graphic interface based on the Windows operating system for the design of the machining operation and the pieces which automatically generates the CNC program that can be executed by the machining centre. The system permits:

Program features:

· Easy to learn and easy to use, highly flexible

· 3D simulation of parts, tools and machinings

· Display the piece position on the machine

· Double cell machines management

· Vises and fixtures management

· Machining library for accessories

· DXF Profile Library

· Vise position optimization

· Automatic bar-code recognition

· Integration with ProF2 (window software)

· Cutting line and machining center management

· 5 axis machining

FomCam is the new easy-to-use CadCam solution for the 3D and 2D machining design

on profiles. FomCam supports all FOM machining centers, the FOM 3, 4 and 5 axis

machines and the cutting and machining lines. An intuitive software solution, FomCam

was developed in close collaboration with expert machine tool users and manufacturers

in the industrial and window manufacturing sectors. FomCam makes possible any kind

of machining and ensures the quality of the NC code.

Simplify the working process

It has never been that easy to use a machining center: FomCam's user interface is

extremely intuitive as it gives both 2D and 3D simulation options and offers a detailed

summary of the machinings added on the part.

Vise and part positioning in the machine

FomCam automatically generates the CNC codes to be executed on the machine,

considering single or double cell, left or right stop, or custom fixture setups for the

simultaneous machining of more than one part. FomCam finds automatically the best

strategies for vise positioning and simulates the toolpath before the machine starts the

job.

Parameterized machinings

The machinings are parameterized. They are easily modified, edited or repeated by

changing the numeric data in the model. FomCam applies the update to each

machining in real time.

Machining optimizations

To make the machining even faster, the software automatically minimizes the numbers

of tool changes and spindle movements saving considerable time.

Libraries

FomCam manages the Profile libraries with 3D and 2D views, the machine's Tool

Libraries and the Machining Libraries of the single profiles.

Add the machinings for memorized groups

FomCam lets you proceed rapidly with the machinings for an accessory: just select a

code from the accessories list and the X-position on the piece: all machinings referred

to the accessory, including the tool data, will be added automatically.

Maximum production control

FomCam directly controls the machining center as it transfers the CNC code and

controls its execution. It is not necessary to exit the program while the center is

working.

More productivity through automation

The machining cycle starts with the scan of the bar-code on the part. Based on the

bar-code data, the center starts the machinings that were defined for this part in the

Accessories Library. FomCam also allows to interrupt and re-start the machining list

and to view the status info of each part, i.e. the total of repetitions requested and the

number of repetitions executed so far.

High-efficiency double cell machinings

Save even more time and avoid production still-stands using the FomCam double cell

machining functions. These functions allow to position the vises in one cell while the

other cell is working without interruption.

FOMCAM - SIMULATION

Simulate every step of the NC code generation with the intuitive FomCam graphical

interface. The visualisations of the components, machinings and tools are 3

dimensional, and the view points can be changed with a simple mouse-click. The 3D

views also include different vise setups with multiple components.

Machining time calculation

Based on the simulation functions, FomCam calculates the exact cycle time of a

machining before starting it. FomCam also shows the time schedule within the various

machining stages. This calculation is also possible for a list of pieces, including the

repetitions, as an estimate of the production time of an entire order.

FOMCAM AND PROF2 INTEGRATION PACKAGE FOR WINDOW AND DOOR

MANUFACTURERS

A software solution that enables window and door manufacturers to take advantage of

FomCam, as it integrates with the window and door design program ProF2. This

integration package will design windows, doors and curtain walls, define the machining

strategies and generate the cutting and machining lists. Design the structure and

select the profiles with ProF2. Use FomCam to define the machinings for each selected

part and the program automatically calculates both the cutting and the machining lists.

The optimized cutting list is transmitted to the sawing machine. The sawing machine

bar codes and labels the part. The machining center reads the label and executes the

machinings as defined by FomCam

FOMCAM - OPTIONAL MODULES

FomCam also offers a series of optionals based on different needs.

Machinings from DXF

The Machinings from DXF module imports and reads any type of machinings starting

from a DXF. This tool allows to create any kind of form for a machining without

involving DXF.

Bar code reader

Reads the bar code and starts the machinings on the selected piece.

Wizards and guided compositions

This module offers some useful features:

In security shutters, it generates automatically the position of the blades.

It lets you insert pre-holes into steel machinings. It allows to design bands as a single

block and to perform the machinings dividing it into many pieces.

3.0 TURNKEY SYSTEM

FOM INDUSTRIE not only offers its Clients a machine tool, but also a "turnkey" productive system to solve all of the problems involved in production. The company's experience is at the client's disposition to optimize the relationship between machining centre performance and the technological machining requirements
