The Fanuc RoboDril D21 MiA5 is a high power machining centre, which complements the existing 5 Robodrills in the machine shop.
The slightly larger footprint of this D21 means it is better suited in our adjoining factory workspace, alongside our other HAAS Vertical machining centres.
The new machine boasts an impressive 24,000 rpm High Speed Spindle, and 21 tool storage carousel, ideally suited for the variety of parts machined for the Medical Industry and for the civil and military Aerospace sectors.
Both machines have DNC Links to our Gibbs-Cam, allows off-line programming for both 2D CAD drawing files, and full solid models.
Cut paths can be directly inputted to all our CNC machine centres though our dedicated post processors and DNC links.
21 tool station machines with 20,000rpm, Renishaw probing and Renishaw Laser Tool Detection.
21 tool station machines with 24,000rpm, Renishaw probing and Renishaw Laser Tool Detection.
A 24 tool station machine with a direct drive in-line spindle giving 12,000rpm. Fitted with Renishaw probing the machine has a table size of 762 x 406 x 508mm
Fully programmable these indexers use 5C and 16C collets.

The Fanuc Robocut EDM C400i A can take work pieces up to a maximum of 700 x 555 x 250mm, and is a logical addition to their existing Fanuc EDM Wire Cut Machine Alpha OC (4 axis).
Protocon have significant experience eroding a wide variety of materials, and extremely tight tolerances and a high surface finish can also be obtained.
Wire eroding allows cutting extremely intricate contours, cavities and patterns with minimal damage to the overall structure of the substance.
Complex shapes that would otherwise be difficult to produce with conventional cutting tools cut be machined using this process on extremely hard material to very close tolerances.
Automatic wire feed and 'lights out' machining capability
Protocon invested in a Mitutoyo Co-ordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) Model Euro-Apex C544 in June 2001.
The machine is fully equipped for CNC Operation. Measuring Range X axis 500mm Y Axis 400mm Z Axis 400mm Resolution 0.0005mm
Features The machine includes a fully CNC probe changer and a motorised Indexing Probe Head System.
The Temperature Compensation unit makes allowance for fluctuations in temperature automatically. Anticipated future upgrade to include handling of electronic data (solid models).
Our additional Co-ordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is now installed and commissioned;
The new CMM is situated alongside our current machine in a brand new
temperature controlled inspection facility in the new premises.
The existing machine has been upgraded so that they are both compatible and work / programs can be interchanged between the two. Like the existing unit the new machine has full CNC capabilities and automatic probe changing which enables most features to be checked in one setting.
Protocon's CAM system Gibbs-Cam, allows off-line programming for all our
CNC machine centres, for both 2D
CAD drawing files, and full solid models.
Cut paths can be directly inputted to all our CNC machine centres though our dedicated post processors and DNC links.
Our Gibbs-Cam system currently supports the following formats:
Traditional paper drawings can be readily converted into cut paths using either our Visual CADD, CAD system or Gibbs internal drawing pallet.
