With 12 different variants built upon a single platform, the new Starrag Bumotec 191neo is a multi-axis mill/turn center. At the upcoming OMTEC exhibition in June, the Starrag Bumotec 191neo will demonstrate its flexibility and capability with the one-hit production of a bone plate.
At OMTEC, the machine will feed a 1.2-inch (30 mm) diameter titanium bar into the work envelope and deploy 20 different cutting tools to 26 operations to finish machine the bone plate in under 20 minutes. Starrag Bumotec 191neo can machine the bone plates from bar stock in its robust work envelope, while eliminating the requirement for secondary operations.
The new Starrag Bumotec 191neo is available in four versions, the P with vice, PRM with a multi-purpose pickup vice, R with a back-working spindle and RP with a combined vice and back-working spindle. Providing a choice of bar capacities of 1.7, 2, 2.6 inches (42, 50 or 65 mm), manufacturers can choose one of 12 machine configurations.
Compared to previous models, Starrag Bumotec 191neo has a new tool change system that reduces changeovers by more than 15%. The machine also has a new milling spindle with increased torque and a back-working movement that is controlled by an electric motor. This combination is designed to offer the perfect blend of high-speed cutting with the power and rigidity for increased material removal rates whilst enhancing positional control.
The high-performance Starrag spindle is fed cutting tools from its 90-position tool magazine that now has an integrated tool breakage probe to support lights-out production runs. Further advancing the automation credentials of the new machine is the option of a traditional Bumotec palletizer or a robotic, modular or custom-made automated cell that delivers true 24/7 production, which is only interrupted by preventive maintenance when required.
