Wenzel Presents New Excalibur 2-Axis CNC Milling Head

07.11.14 - Wenzel is a leading provider of complete solutions for the whole design process. For milling of extremely fine surfaces out of clay or rigid foam models Wenzel presents at EuroMold 2014 in Frankfurt the new Excalibur 2-Axis CNC Milling Head for the first time.

The 2-Axis CNC Milling Head Excalibur mills a 1:1 automobile model out of clay. Complex free form surfaces can be milled directly with the Excalibur milling head mounted on a coordinate measuring machine. The new Excalibur impresses with its high capacity of 200 watts and a freely adjustable speed of up to 8,500 revolutions per minute. Also improvements in terms of repeatability, (0.002°) resolution of the rotary axes (0.002°), and concentricity of the spindle (0.025 mm) have been achieved.

Thus, it is possible to mill surfaces of the highest quality faster than ever.

More Power and Easy Operation

The dimensions of the new Excalibur have been reduced, thus the working volume of the entire system has increased. The mechanical adaptation to the machine is achieved by the integration of a tool-less quick-change system. Use of the machine as a coordinate measuring machine is possible by easy adaptation of the universal mounting head. Thus, marking tools or rotate and swivel heads with touch probes can be exchanged on the same machine with a few simple steps. In parallel with the Excalibur, the 2-Axis Milling Head DMH 200 can also be used on the machine.

The new DMH 200 is the solution for all tasks that do not require CNC control of the 2-Axis Milling Head. In the latest version DMH 200 the bearing and the housing has been improved. The tool diameter has been expanded through the use of a new spindle. Both the DMH 200, as well as the new Excalibur can be used with 3, 6, 10 and 16 mm milling cutters.

Apart from the functional innovations, the shape of Excalibur has been adapted to the new industrial design of Wenzel coordinate measuring machines. The result for the designers and modelers who work daily with the solution is a unified, functional, and not least an aesthetic look and feel.
