Spinner · machine video

Here the milling head pivots (+110° / −1°) and the part stays on an integrated rotary table, so the load is always carried vertically. 5-axis parts to about 800 × 800 × 800 mm, tall parts included, and table loads of 1,000 to 2,000 kg. An additional fixed table on the right takes 3-axis work up to the full 1,650 mm milling length.

Two spindles: 9,000 rpm SK50 (HSK100) with 464 Nm for heavy cutting, or 14,000 rpm SK40 (HSK63), 18,000 rpm optional, for speed. 96 or 138 tools. Four extra chip augers feed the front conveyor, and Spinner puts the floor space up to 30% below comparable machines.

5-axis questions

Tilting table or swivel head? And other things worth asking.

Tilting table or swivel head?
The VC850-5A, U5-630 and U5-1530 tilt the part on a rotary/tilting table — compact and fast for small and mid-size parts. The VC1650-5A tilts the milling head instead and keeps the part on a flat rotary table, so the load always sits vertically on the table. That is the design for large and heavy parts.
What does the U5-1530 do that a normal 5-axis doesn’t?
Its 1,530 mm X travel carries a fixed table on the left of the working area beside the rotary/tilting table. Run 3-axis work or the first side on the fixed table and 5-axis work on the trunnion. A removable table top for machining with a tailstock is an option.
Which controls are available?
Siemens 840D sl on every model, with Heidenhain TNC620 or TNC640 depending on model and build. The Siemens versions use Spinner’s 24-inch touch panel on the newer machines.
Can these run unattended?
The U-series Advanced builds take a pallet changer for up to 30 pallets, the VC850-5A takes a pallet changer and the VC1650-5A a 15-pallet system. Spinner’s ROBOBOX cells load parts by robot: ROBOBOX or ROBOBOX Xtreme on the VC850-5A and U5 machines, ROBOBOX XL on the VC1650-5A. Workpiece and tool measurement, scales and 70 bar through-spindle coolant are options across the range.
