E8 5 Axis CNC: A state-of-the-art machining centre with full 5-axis interpolation. This machine has been designed to occupy a small footprint whilst still maintaining a good working envelope in full 5-axis (1200 x 2400 x 500mm). Moreover, equipped with a state-of-the-art Osai digital closed-loop servo NC control system, the machine is capable of machining at speeds up to 20m/min.
The Excitech E8 5-axis CNC machining centre, powered by Powell CNC, is meticulously designed to meet the most demanding processing requirements while maintaining an impressively compact footprint. Despite its smaller size, the E8 delivers exceptional industrial performance with a substantial working envelope of up to 1220 x 2440 x 500 mm. It demonstrates that sophisticated 5-axis engineering can be achieved without compromising spatial efficiency in the workshop.
Advanced Control System The E8 features the Osai digital closed-loop servo NC control system developed by Prima Electro, a leading Italian controls specialist. This technology enables remarkable machining speeds of up to 20 metres per minute, providing manufacturers with unprecedented precision and efficiency.
High-Performance Spindle Equipped with a 10 kW Hiteco HSK 63F spindle featuring a Prizmatic Head. This high-specification setup ensures superior cutting performance across diverse materials and complex 3D applications.
Precision Motion Control Digital Japanese Yaskawa servo motors are integrated through a Mechatrolink III digital closed-loop system for pinpoint accuracy and reliability. The machine utilizes high-quality helical rack and pinion mechanisms alongside linear guide blocks to ensure smooth and dynamic movement.
Automated Workflow A 16-position smart carousel with automatic tool changing and an integrated tool length measuring probe streamlines operational workflows. This allows for complex, multi-tool projects to be completed with minimal manual intervention.
Robust Vacuum System The E8 includes a double-layer high-flow vacuum matrix table powered by a robust Becker 250 cubic metre per hour vacuum pump. This provides secure and flexible workpiece holding for even the most intricate parts.
Durable Components High-quality Igus cables from Germany are housed in sealed dust-proof cable chains, underscoring the commitment to durability and long-term performance in industrial environments.
Efficiency enhances workflow and significantly reduces tool change downtime. Precision delivers consistent performance with exceptional accuracy for intricate designs. Durability extends equipment longevity through high-frequency air cooling technology. Versatility features adaptable clamping for a diverse range of materials and is compatible with virtually any CAD CAM software generating standard ISO G-Code.
Whether utilised for intricate prototyping, complex component manufacturing, or precision engineering, the Excitech E8 represents the perfect blend of compact design, technological innovation, and uncompromising performance.
If your production requirements involve larger workpieces or deeper 3D machining, Powell CNC provides the same industrial precision across a variety of scales.
