Machine concept The Profile-Flex is a 5-axis machine equipped with a 18.000 RPM motor as standard that can mill, drill, tap and saw tubes, profiles and extrusions in aluminium, steel, wood and composites. The component is clamped on the machine bed and remains stationary whilst the gantry moves over the component

Profil3D Programming software Mubea has developed a 3D software “Profil3D” allowing easy programming in each face all of the machining requirements such as drill, mill, flow-drill, tap and saw. An optional feature is the programming and the simulation of curved components. A further option is a nesting module for processing different components out of one profile. The software has its own design package including a 3D production simulation and collision control.

 |
Clamping of the components We offer a selection of either 6,8,10 or 12 clamps. Each clamp is automatically positioned by the gantry. An optional feature is that each clamp can be CNC controlled separately, allowing the movement of one or more clamps simultaneously

 |
Tool magazine The Profile-Flex has two tool magazines each of 6 stations with a max. tool diameter of 80 mm. At the rear of the tool magazine are two stations to hold saw blades up to 400 mm diameter. These stations can also be used for angular heads.
|
 |
Maximum dimensions of the component The Profile-Flex takes components up to 6300 x 300 x 305 mm when working on 5 faces. When the underside is to be machined then the component dimensions are limited to 6300 x 290 x 230 mm. Vertical faces can be machined up to 690 mm width.

 |
Cutting head The machine is equipped with a water cooled motor. The motor produces 16 KW (S1), 19,6 KW (S6) and takes HSK F63 tool holders. The motor can tilt (A-axis) between –115°/ 115° and it can rotate (C-axis) between –200°/ 200°. The standard speed of the spindle in 18.000 RPM. We can also offer a spindle speed of 22.000 RPM (S1) or 24.000 RPM (S6).

NC SIEMENS 840D control We use the latest Siemens NC840D - NCU 571.3 with Celeron 1.2Ghz processor, 512 MB Ram with 15' TFT colour screen. De Profil3D software is available on the Siemens control with 3D simulation. The software informs the operator how to load the component. We also offer a Siemens service contract with a validation of 1 up to 5 years.

Some important advantages to your company after purchase:
Reduced handling costs :
As there is no need to move the component from one machine to another and each component can be machined in one set-up. This results in a reduction of production time and a lower production cost (=component cost).
Using the nesting software, multiple components can be produced from one long profile.
Reduction of labour cost:
One person can operate the Profile-Flex compared to 5 to 6 people required to operate conventional machinery. The savings in set-up time alone would be significant.
Improved accuracy:
Machining the component on the high precision Profile-Flex eliminates the human and machining errors of conventional machining methods. Improved accuracy means reduced assembly times.
Greater design flexibility:
The versatility of the machine and software enables designers to be more creative and the production department to develop better assembly techniques. The Profile-Flex is at the forefront of technology and will open new markets for all users
