Committed to a policy of performance and excellence, and in order to meet market demands, the Velfor group has decided to expand its machine park once again by acquiring a new DMF 180 5-axis machining center from DMG MORI for its workshop in Boisset Haut.
This five-axis mobile column machining center can produce all shapes and types of tooling and molds. All materials (aluminum, steel, plastic, etc.) can be machined. What’s more, thanks to its heavy-duty, large-scale table, it is possible to machine longer (initial dimensions up to 1800 mm by 700 mm) and heavier (up to 1500 kg) parts.
Its five-axis motion enables molds and tooling to be produced in 2D, 3D and now 5D. It is equipped with a computerized control and command system for easier, more precise numerical management. It also features an integrated tool magazine for enhanced machine productivity.
This new DMF 180 machining center is renowned for its extremely high precision, thanks to its mineral cast machine bed, thermosymmetrical moving uprights and integrated direct measuring systems.
This new acquisition complements Boisset Haut’s existing fleet of four “three-axis” machines and two traditional manual machining centers.
This investment will enable us to meet all the market’s needs in terms of tool and mold manufacture for plastic processing. With this new facility, the Velfor Group is emphasizing and perpetuating its long-standing policy of technical excellence and technological performance.
