CHEVALIER’s QP-L series VMCs are designed for high precision, productivity, and high speed machining such as aerospace, mold, automotive industries, or any job shop, etc.
Features include all linear roller ways on all axes that ensure fast linear movement plus optimum rigidity during cutting. All Meehanite cast iron construction with ribbed frame and wide stance machine base provide excellent support and damping character. The pre-tensioned class C3, ball screws are used in all axes. All servo motors are direct coupled to ball screws. It increases sensitivity of movement; meanwhile, it reduces the backlash dramatically.
Chevalier also designs spindle with
BIG-PLUS® spindle. The BIG-PLUS® is a spindle system that provides dual contact between the spindle face and the flange face of BIG-PLUS® tooling
. Simply by switching holders, you can greatly increase tool rigidity, reduce runout and add significant productivity to your machining applications. BIG-PLUS® holders and spindles are manufactured to micron level specifications. Please see following link for BIG-PLUS Tool:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXU0GzATIigThe powerful FANUC Oi-MD control has been used in this machine. The optional AICC high speed machining mode provides up to 40 blocks look ahead function and smooth interpolation. An easy-access, front memory card slot are among the many standard features. This control provides most popular function within his standard features. It is most powerful and valuable control in his class.
