CLOCK 800 EVO
Taking advantage of the expertise gained with the Clock series, MCM has implemented the new Clock EVO, a line of 4- and 5-axis machining centres developed in three sizes, based on the X-axis stroke: 800, 1000 and 1200.
Tradition and innovation, an often-winning pair in the machine tool world. Concepts that highlight the validity of a design and the care of its constant unceasing technological evolution, linked with the new market requirements. All that is perfectly clear at MCM that has translated these concepts into Clock EVO machining centre line, evolution of the historical Clock range that since the Nineties has represented a reference product for Piacenza company. Clock family was devised by MCM to satisfy the requirements of a market that needed a line of plants able to machine complex workpieces of medium-small size. Relying on the success achieved and due to new technological potentialities, the company upgraded the original design, maintaining the rewarding features and innovating the product in terms of precision, flexibility and performance.
They so conceived Clock EVO, a line of 4- and 5-axis machining centres developed in three sizes, based on the X-axis stroke: 800, 1000 and 1200.
Identical for all models are rapid speeds, 75 m/min in X, Y, Z and 7 m/s2 accelerations, with thrusts up to 8 kN to deal with the toughest materials, too.
5-axis versions differ from 4-axis ones for the presence of a rotary-tilting table equipped with Torque motors, with possibility of executing also turning operations up to 1,200 min-1.
Electrospindles with maximum power of 65 kW and 690 Nm of torque or with rotation speed up to 30,000 rpm complete the offer. The variety of options includes the possibility of choosing one of the two available Numerical Controls, Fanuc 31i-Series and Siemens 840D SolutionLine, as well as lubrication-refrigeration systems up to 80 bars, provided with cooling units to improve the thermal stability of the machine.
Among the many pluses of Clock EVO it is worth highlighting precision, flexibility and performance, without forgetting the positive evolution in ergonomics, design and digitalization.
The new design optimizes the machine footprint. It features more user-friendly and faster installation, as well as simpler maintenance, thanks to the sensors able to warn preventively about the need of possible maintenance activities. Integrated control areas and new ergonomic pushbutton panels confer Clock EVO advanced functionality and better man-machine interaction. In the forefront concerning Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing concepts, Clock EVO is provided with complete digital equipment; standard accessories include sensors, monitoring system of the absorbed power load, direct measuring systems and the new computerized module called “jNode-FR” for data collection and analysis directly on board the machine; the company has implemented the platform on it in full autonomy. Machines are prearranged for the optional jFMX and jFRX software suites, available as accessory.
