New Dugard X5-800 launched at open house

It’s that time again, we’re opening the doors at Dugard on 18th and 19th October for our open house and we’ve got some really exciting things to show you.  With lots of models from our large range in stock, as well as some great ex-demo deals and our curry night on Wednesday 18th it’s set to be quite an event.  To add to all of that we’re also launching our new 5 axis machining centre, the Dugard X5-800 at the open house.

Dugard X5-800 5 axis VMC – made in Taiwan

The fusion of German Technology with Taiwanese competitiveness makes our X5-800 5 axis machining centre an affordable luxury for any machine shop.  Designed to have a huge capacity with a minimum footprint, this machine can fulfil a wide range of complex machining demands.

German made components

It’s a high speed machining centre with a German made 18,000rpm, 25/35kW built-in Kessler spindle.  The torque motor drive rotary table is also by Kessler and boasts a 1300kg capacity as well as Ø800mm X axis travel, 900mm Y axis travel and 650mm Z axis travel, giving a huge working area.  Precision is high on the list, the A axis driven by 2 torque motors, with up to 80rpm on the rotary table and the C axis is driven by one torque motor with a rotary table speed up to 100rpm.

Impressive precision and capacity

With a dual tool option, the X5-800 is very accommodating.  32 tools are standard and there is an option for another 32 tools in the 2nd tool magazine, increasing the storage capacity to an impressive 64 stations.  Even with such a generous capacity, the magazines have a compact design to maximise the available space.  Precision is high on the list, the A axis driven by 2 torque motors, with up to 80rpm on the rotary table and the C axis is driven by one torque motor with a rotary table speed up to 100rpm.  Complex machining is a priority for any 5 axis machining centre and the X5-800 doesn’t disappoint.  The double driven 4 linear guideway Y axis design greatly reduces vibration during high speed machining, increasing rigidity and ensuring exact positioning.

Samsung CNC turning centres

The full range of Samsung (SMEC) high precision lathes will be on show with chuck sizes from 6~24”, Y axis and sub-spindles on many models.  Boxways are standard on all models, giving incredible accuracy and extremely rigid cutting features.  Plus, both Siemens and Fanuc controls are available on all models

Lots more on show

The X5-800 is our newest addition to the Dugard range, but as you’d expect we have many more machines to show you.  We’ve got our Dugard i42U and Dugard i42Twin high production multi-axis CNC lathes on show, which proves that Taiwanese technology comes at highly competitive prices.  Of course, we’ll be showing our immensely popular XP Range of extra performance VMCs with models from 762mm up to 2060mm X axis travel.  There’s the Dugard 1000Y Plus one of our bestselling machines with an extended Y axis travel of 610mm, Big Plus Tooling, 24 station ATC and 10,000rpm spindle.  Plus we’ve got some great deals on Ex-Demo machines.
