Eclipse 12-100

The Hydromat Eclipse 12-100 surpasses traditional Hydromat machines with its larger 2-meter diameter cast iron frame for enhanced stability and precision, advanced all-electric servo spindles for improved flexibility, and a FANUC 30iB CNC control system that ensures exceptional accuracy. Its capability to handle both bar-fed and blank-loaded applications with robot load/unload options increases productivity and versatility. Additionally, designed with Industry 4.0 principles, the Eclipse 12-100 offers a significant leap in precision, productivity, and flexibility for medium to high production of complex workpieces.

The Hydromat Eclipse 12-100 is indeed well-equipped to handle complex parts with tight tolerances. Its 12 tool spindle modules, each with 3-axis or 4-axis capability, allow for intricate machining operations. The machine's robust cast iron frame, heavy-duty linear guideways, and large bearing diameters provide the stability and precision needed for tight tolerances. Additionally, the advanced CNC control system with fixture mapping ensures exceptional accuracy from station to station. The ability to perform simultaneous machining on 11 stations, coupled with options for both bar-fed and blank-loaded applications, makes the Eclipse 12-100 highly versatile for producing complex, high-precision parts efficiently.
