EPIC HF 32/45-16 Questions
Answers to common questions about the EPIC HF 32/45-16.
The Hydromat EPIC HF 32/45-16 is primarily used for precision metal cutting in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and medical manufacturing. Its modular design allows for the efficient production of complex components, making it suitable for high-volume production runs where accuracy and speed are essential.
The Hydromat EPIC HF 32/45-16 and the EPIC II 32/45-16 are both advanced rotary transfer machines designed for high-precision metal cutting, but they have some key differences. The EPIC HF 32/45-16 uses a FANUC 30i-B control system, while the EPIC II 32/45-16 employs a Bosch CNC/PLC common control system. The EPIC HF 32/45-16 features FANUC's advanced CNC capabilities, including nanometer resolution control and high-speed machining, while the EPIC II 32/45-16 offers enhanced operations, production reporting, and more advanced features like integrated tool monitoring (in development). The EPIC II 32/45-16 also features an improved architecture with reduced failure points and a more efficient design, as well as expanded canned cycle selections for faster and easier program generation. Both machines offer similar capabilities in terms of stock capacity (up to 1.75" round, 1.5" hex, 1.25" square) and part length (up to 6 inches), and they share the same basic configuration of up to 16 horizontal and 8 vertical toolspindles. The choice between these two models would likely depend on the specific needs of the manufacturer, such as familiarity with FANUC or Bosch controls, the importance of the newer features in the EPIC II, and the specific machining requirements of the parts being produced. Contact our specialist for more technical details.
The Hydromat EPIC HF 32/45-16 is capable of processing a wide range of materials, including various metals such as aluminum, steel, and brass. Its robust design and versatility make it suitable for machining different material types within its operational envelope.
While specific production rates can vary based on the complexity of the parts being machined and the materials used, the Hydromat EPIC HF 32/45-16 is designed to achieve high throughput due to its ability to utilize multiple tool spindles simultaneously. This capability allows for efficient machining and reduced cycle times, making it ideal for high-volume production environments. Did you download Hydromat EPIC HF 32/45-16 brochure ?
