High Speed Milling of Molds and Prototypes

In Booth S-8880, Fidia Company (Rochester Hills, MI) will feature their K199 high speed 6-axis milling center with rotary table, C-40 vision numerical controls with integrated ViMill system, and a variety of large milling heads. The K199 is their most compact K series machine and represents the ideal solution for all small and medium size molds and prototype manufacturers, featuring a cast iron bed and worktable for high loading capacity, a rotary table for 6-axis capability, continuous, powerful, compact bi-rotary milling head, and a standard C-20 numerical control.

The Fidia C-40 vision numerical control is believed to be the most powerful numerical control on the market for advanced CNC high speed milling and multi-axis applications. The control is equipped with a Quad core processor, state-of-the-art graphic processor and a 64 bit Windows® 7 operating system that allows for precise execution and virtual machining of the tool path using the Fidia ViMill system. The C-40 control demonstrated at the show will also be equipped with a V5 software package for axes control that significantly improves the performance of high speed milling machines. Fidia will also display their larger M5 5-axis bi-rotary positional and fork-type milling heads for medium-size and large milling machines that perform the complete machining cycle, from roughing to finishing, where higher torque and power are required.
