Focusing on innovation in roughing and finishing titanium and hard material aircraft structural complex parts, Fives designs dedicated 5-axis profilers in vertical and horizontal configurations.

Process titanium

The physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics make titanium complex to machine. Its low conductivity can a!ect the rapid heat evacuation generated by its machining, which focuses on the tool level and the cutting edge. Titanium is likely to develop inserted edges causing cracks and a premature wear of the tools, resulting expensive machining and tooling costs.

Given these constraints, Fives has been working on the chips evacuation, the rigidity of the machine, the 5-axis milling head capabilities and the safe process, to bring dedicated ultimate solutions.

Fives solutions

With the Forest-Liné Modumill Ti and the Forest-Liné Powermill Ti, Fives o!ers adaptive solutions for titanium.

To ensure parts quality, the high pressure cooling system, up to 70 bars pressure, allows e#cient cooling of the cutting cool edges and e!ective removal chips rate, which would otherwise tend to stay around cutting tools due to low cutting feed and material characteristics.

The patented “constant overhang ram”, the largest section ram used in the machine tool industry, o!ers the conducive milling conditions, whatever the position is.

The “in-house” design and manufacture of 5-axis milling heads provides high torque up to 2,500 Nm (1843 lb-&) with rigid and compact structure.

To apply the requested applications, the safety of the process is essential. The Geometry Five-Axis Control System helps to determine the status of the geometry of the machine with an accurate description of temperature variation and within 15 minutes.

The solution can be developed together with collision detection device, video camera supervision and 3D scan of the part.

The patented “constant overhang” ensures a high sti!ness and accuracy of the machine for titanium processing, whatever the position is.
