MU TECH

MU TECH by Huron is an entry-level 3-axis milling machine that has the distinctive feature of being equipped as standard with an electrospindle. Versatile and multi-application, MU TECH can also operate in 3+2 axis mode. It offers high power at low speed for rough cutting of large parts since it can be used at service class S1 starting at 3000 rpm and at service class S6 for 40% of the time at 2200 rpm. Finishing operations can subsequently be performed in 5-axis mode at high speed. MU TECH 6, the first version available, features a dia. 600 mm table.

MU TECH is equipped as standard with a high-speed electrospindle. It provides 23 kW of power with 75 Nm of torque and a maximum speed of 12,000 rpm. It can be used in continuous service (S1) starting at 3000 rpm and in continuous service with intermittent load (S6) for 40% of the time at 2200 rpm. The electrospindle is equipped with a rotary head (B-axis). The +30°/-120° rotation allows general mechanical components to be machined vertically and horizontally. Continuous head rotation is achieved by a play-free system that also allows all possible 5-axis shaping applications. Flawless machining stability is achieved through the design of the spindle and the use of high-performance bearings. MU TECH is also equipped with a special cooling system that maintains it at the correct temperature.

Each axis is driven by large-diameter high-performance ball screws and all movements are controlled by encoders to ensure accuracy to within one one-hundredth of a millimetre along the three axes. The maximum linear speed is 30 m/min.

Like the other machines in the Huron range, the MU TECH's structural components are made of heavily ribbed cast iron to substantially dampen vibrations and ensure a high level of machining stability. Its symmetrical design guarantees very high geometric stability.

MU TECH also features a highly ergonomic design. Its wide-opening doors afford easy access to the work area for removing the head and performing other tasks, such as loading the machine with an overhead crane. The frame accommodates all axes of movement and the 1000 × 600 mm table travels vertically at up to 560 mm. The 750-mm-stroke transverse saddle is topped by a 560-mm-stroke ram.


The j 600 mm rotary table (C-axis) is used for 5-face machining and, with its play-free drive, high-precision 5-axis machining of workpieces measuring up to j 800 × 550 mm.

The standard automatic tool changer contains 24 tools and features a double arm and a drum-type tool magazine.

MU TECH can be equipped with an optional rotary table integrated in the stationary table, other spindles, a 40- or 60-station tool changer, through-tool coolant and workpiece and tool touch probes.
