Starrag will be presenting its latest innovations from across the company’s wide range of high-performance, solution-driven machine tools on 11 and 12 June at the
Manufacturing Solutions Ireland exhibition (Stand T7) in the
Technology Demo Zone. Taking centre stage will be a Starrag Bumotec s191neo, which will be delivered to a local customer immediately after the event concludes.
The exhibition at the
Technological University of Shannon (TUS) is a highlight in the Irish manufacturing calendar, and with a significant number of customers in Ireland, Starrag will demonstrate the capabilities of the Bumotec s191neo machine. The company will also introduce its latest turn/mill product lines that can now be viewed in the company’s new Bumotec virtual showroom (
here).
The virtual showroom is a replica of the machine tool manufacturer’s Starrag facility in Switzerland, and provides manufacturers with an opportunity to investigate a wide range of solution-based innovations from the small and compact s128 simultaneous five-axis machining solution to the 36-axis s1000/C transfer machine with eight machining stations in a single footprint platform. It also has a multitude of machines that include the Bumotec s128, Ringma XX, s191V, S191H, the s1000/C, S100multi, the s181, s100mono, the s200, the s191neo, as well as the SIP5000 and SIP7000 ultra-precision vertical boring and milling centres.
s191neo taking centre stageHowever, on Stand T7 at the Limerick event, the centrepiece will be the Bumotec s191neo with its five-axis simultaneous machining, up to seven axes and three spindles with the potential for 90 tools and a host of peripheral equipment that make it the perfect all-rounder for precision small-part machining.
While the stand may feature the most dynamic machine at the event, Starrag is equally renowned for its more extensive and more robust machine tools for the general manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, offshore and power generation sectors. Therefore, Starrag engineers attending the show will be on hand to discuss the merits of the Heckert H Compact Series. This twin pallet horizontal machining centre delivers the benefits of a horizontal machine with a compact footprint that will appeal to manufacturers. Meanwhile, the new Compact Heckert X series is fitted with a trunnion table that provides an impressive high speed/rigid simultaneous five-axis capability. A high-speed table for turning can also be incorporated with the Heckert T series.
Larger machines in the Starrag family that will be highlighted include the STC1250 HD horizontal machining centre. As the latest addition to the renowned STC Series for machining of the most demanding aerospace structural parts, multi-blades and casings, the STC Series provides excellent static and dynamic properties as well as tried and tested rotatable heads. The machine offers a 1.25m x 1.25m pallet with a vast work envelope for workpiece loads up to 5,000kg on the pallet. This is complemented by an X, Y and Z-axis travel of 2.2 x 1.5 x 2.1m with a swing diameter of 2.2m.
Designed for large components, the Starrag team will also present the new Droop+Rein FOGS HD, a six-axis overhead gantry-type machining centre available in a variety of dimensions with traverse paths from 3 to 31m in the X axis, 3 to 6m in the Y axis and 1.5 to 2.5m in the Z axis. The Droop+Rein FOGS HD is an efficient 50 to 100kW powerhouse that delivers unsurpassed precision with fast and dynamic axes movement and an extremely high-torque range from 2,400 to 7,500Nm.
