VEGA PRO

The AES pot and rail CNC machines are equipped with Schmalz consoles.

The consoles are easy to move: with one hand, simply press the button at the front and slide the console sideways to the desired position.

Each console is equipped with:
• 2 vacuum cups of 140 x 115 mm
• 1 vacuum cup of 125 x 75 mm
• A stop row with reference cylinders at the rear, allowing the workpiece to be quickly and precisely aligned for further machining.

The central lubrication system provides various guides with a controlled dose of lubricant.
Periodic lubrication increases the lifespan.
This helps prevent malfunctions and boosts productivity.

With this handheld terminal, you can manually move the three axes individually using the handwheel at three different speeds.
An emergency stop button is also provided.

The handheld terminal is used to control the machine axes outside the control panel in manual mode. Machine operating speeds and parameters can be controlled with the help of the terminal. In addition, with the help of a handheld terminal, general commands can be controWith this handheld terminal, you can independently move the three axes with infinitely adjustable speed using a potentiometer while running a program.
If the CNC machine is equipped with a Label X station, its speed can also be infinitely controlled via a second potentiometer.
Additionally, in manual mode, some general commands can be controlled outside the control panel, such as tool changes, vacuum pumps, and the position of the extraction hood.
An emergency stop button is also provided.lled with the help of tool change, vacuum zone control & dust collection.

This CNC machine can be equipped with different types of milling motors with ceramic bearings, available in air- or liquid-cooled versions:
• 9 kW (12 HP), HSK-F63
• 12 kW (15 HP), HSK-F63
• 14 kW (19 HP), HSK-F63
All types of milling motors are equipped with a pneumatically height-adjustable extraction hood.

Depending on the number of tools in your workshop, you can equip your CNC machine with an 8-, 12-, or 16-position rotary tool changer.
The rotary tool changer moves along the X-axis, and all positions are equipped with an anti-crash control sensor to ensure a smooth tool change.

Depending on the number of tools in your workshop, your CNC machine is equipped with a rotary tool changer with the option of adding an extra 10-position linear tool changer.

This CNC machine can be equipped with different types of drilling heads:
DH17: vertical 10 spindles, horizontal 6 spindles & 1 saw
DH21: vertical 14 spindles, horizontal 6 spindles & 1 saw
DH22: vertical 12 spindles, horizontal 8 spindles & 2 saws
If necessary, the machine can be supplied without a drill head.

The automatic control of the extraction nozzle alternately allocates the full extraction power to either the drill head or the milling unit, depending on the active unit.
This ensures an optimal and efficient extraction result.

A user-friendly 21" flatbed color screen and all essential control buttons, integrated into the compact electrical cabinet of the CNC machining center, provides the operator with direct control and monitoring of the machine functions.

The modern, ergonomic, movable flatbed control console integrates both a 21” color screen and all essential control buttons.
The machine status is clearly indicated by large side LED color strips.

When entering the length dimension of new or re-sharpened tools, the machine places the tool on a calibrated measuring surface.
The measured actual value is compared with the theoretically entered value and is automatically adjusted in the tool library.
This results in highly precise machining operations.

This CNC machine can be equipped with one or more vacuum pumps.
The available options are:
• 100 m³/h
• 140 m³/h
• 250 m³/h
• 300 m³/h

NC Hops CAD/CAM user interface in combination with the AES PLC for axis control.
Easy graphic programming of workpieces.
Graphic representation of workpiece, machine details, clamps, ect possible.
Import of .DXF, .STL, .STEP drawings possible. 
Including 3-D simulation and collision control

Depending on the selected machine length, the console CNC has one or two working zones. When using two working zones, the machine can operate in a pendulum mode: while workpiece 1 is being machined in the first zone, preparations can already be made in the second zone. As soon as the machining in work area 1 is complete, the machine automatically switches to work area 2. In this way, machining and preparations flow seamlessly into each other, preventing time-outs. This makes pendulum working ideal for series production or work with different workpieces.

The operator can easily control the machine via a 21" touchscreen. This screen supports the physical buttons and provides a visual and intuitive way to enter machining programs, adjust settings, and monitor the machine.

Closed cable chains ensure that dust and chips are kept out of the cable chain.
This provides extra protection for the electronic cables inside the cable chain against aggressive dust released during the processing of special materials.

Extra protection for guides and bearing blocks through an additional seal mounted on the bearing blocks, which retains the lubricant better inside the bearing block and keeps dust out more effectively.

A barcode scanner on a CNC machining machine is used to quickly and accurately select workpieces in a program database. By scanning barcodes, the correct machining information is automatically loaded, reducing errors and increasing efficiency. This contributes to an automated and streamlined production process.

The C axis also called fourth axis.

This allows automatic rotation of an aggregate from 0° to 360°, including 4-axis interpolation.

Two outputs, each with an ER32 collet chuck.
This motor is designed for making horizontal milling cuts in workpieces, transferring 100% of the motor power to the tool.
For example, for milling keyhole slots or hinges in doors.

The number of plate lifters depends on the length of the machine and can be increased if preferred. Lifting the workpiece with plate lifters prevents damage to the wood, such as scratches or dents.

Rear reference cylinder stop row.
This ensures efficient right-angled positioning of the workpiece on the work surface.

Stop bar with reference cylinders mounted on the front of the crossbars.
This ensures efficient right-angled positioning of the workpiece on the work surface.

Stop row reference cylinders mounted on the side of the consoles.
This ensures an efficient right-angled position of the workpiece on the work surface.

Instead of alignment studs, a stop bar has been fitted across the entire depth of the working area, on both the left and right sides.

Thanks to the integrated laser pointer, you can place vacuum cups in the correct position on the console.

Visual markings on the console beams indicate where the vacuum cups should be placed.

A comfort foot pedal is a bar that covers the entire length of the machine, divided according to the number of working areas, allowing you to easily start or interrupt the work cycle. Thanks to this length control, you can activate the machine at any point, providing extra ease of use and ergonomics.

Contact mats at the front of the CNC machining center serve as an essential safety system.
When touched, they detect the presence of a person or object and immediately stop the machine.

This horizontal light curtain detects interruptions in the light beams and stops the machine when an object or person is detected.

The fencing provides a robust enclosure on maximum of 3 sides of the CNC machining center.
The open side is equipped with another safety system of choice, in according with CE regulations.
This prevents the operator from unintentionally entering the danger zone of the machine.
Of course, it is possible to provide a safety door in the fence to allow controlled access to the machine.

A security system with a zone scanner is an advanced safety solution for CNC machining centers. The scanner, mounted on the chassis, detects people or objects within the safety zone of the scanner. This ensures a safe working environment without physical barriers, improving accessibility and efficiency.
