The Sasta machine-building plant (located in Sasovo, Ryazan region) has initiated the production of a new 5-axis machining centre, the MC800-5X, featuring an angled swivel table. This vertical milling machine of portal type is designed for metalworking enterprises in the aerospace and automotive industries, where there is a requirement to manufacture casing components with high precision and machining quality. This was reported by the press service of the Sasta plant.

The machining centre is equipped with a swivelling rotary table with a diameter of 800 mm and linear roller guides. A powerful motor spindle with an HSK taper and a through-coolant system enables high-speed and high-precision processing of complex casing components in a single setup.

The design of the MC800-5X machine is characterised by high rigidity and vibration resistance, thanks to its monolithic bed made of high-quality cast iron. The U-shaped configuration of the bed with columns and a traverse ensures stability during movement along the X and Y axes, as well as easy access to the machining area.

The MC800-5X supports simultaneous 5-axis machining, allowing for the creation of complex geometric shapes with high precision. The linear axes are equipped with high-precision servomotors and direct feedback sensors, ensuring smooth movement and the absence of mechanical play. The powerful spindle and advanced control system provide high processing speeds without compromising quality.

Intuitive control is facilitated by a sophisticated CNC system, and the high machining accuracy is achieved by implementing a spindle thermal deformation compensation system, vibration control, and thermal deformation compensation for the axes. These systems allow for both linear and volumetric compensation of thermal expansions, significantly enhancing machining accuracy.

“The MC800-5X machine represents a versatile solution for enterprises engaged in high-precision metalworking. Its structural features and technical specifications make the MC800-5X an ideal choice for the aerospace and automotive industries, as well as for the production of moulds and dies,” commented the press service of the plant.
