Benefits at a glance
- Diverse manufacturing technologies such as drilling, milling, countersinking, thread-cutting, contourmarking, oxyfuel and plasma cutting bundled on a single machine
- Powerful drives for optimum performance and low production times
- Higher spindle speeds ideal for milling
- 14-place tool changer for faster setup times
- Less space needed for measuring carriage
- Measuring carriage at the side runs through the machine to optimise plate fixation throughout the entire machining process
- Increased traversing speed of axes
- Durable construction provides the basis for a long-term investment
- Common cut for less waste
- Fully automatic handling of small parts
- Rotating swarf brush for automatic clearing of chips in front of cutting processes
- Two processing units for parallel machining and higher efficiency
- Optionally with downholder roll for optimum contact pressure of the plate when milling larger contours
- Less space requirements for measuring carriage by more compact design
- Higher spindle speed for drilling and milling

Features

Convenient Operation of the System
- Plain-text display of machine data and possible error messages
- Good observation of the processes and rapid intervention in case of disturbance

Low Wear and Low Maintenance
- Drill carriage mounted on dual play-free, pre-stressed linear guides
- Robust mountig for high precision when drilling

Universal, Economical Gas Cutting Process
- Universally implementable gas cutting unit built onto the drilling unit
- Automatic height adjustment of the cutting unit

Fully Automatic Processing Possible
- Automatic disposal of small parts in a removable finished-parts container

High Cutting Speed
- Highest cutting performance and optimum cutting quality
- In addition to autogenous gas cutting, a high-performance plasma cutting machine can optionally be used
- Common cut and cross-cut technology generates significantly less waste

Dust Free Work Environment
- System with pre-separator and dust collection container
- Filtering unit with eight cartridges in flame retardant design
- Automatic filter cleaning

KF 2512: Double Throughput
- In order to increase throughput the system can be expanded through an additional drilling/gas-cutting unit (autogenous and/or plasma)

Fast Marking Process
- Fast, high-quality marking process for applying letters and numbers
- Marking depth to 1 mm regardless of material and plate thickness
- Imprint still clearly visible after galvanizing or painting

Material Marking by Means of a Milling Tool on the Drill Head
- Application of numbers and letters as well as reference boundaries for welding add-on pieces
- DSTV-Data import
- Use of high-speed carbide tools

Machine Operation with the Most Up-to-Date Software
- Easy data import and export
- Automatic or manual nesting
- Partial programming possibility via NC-DSTV, DXF or DWG files, integrated drawing program or macros
- And much more

Short Changing Times for Tools
- Automatic tool change on the drilling unit for the most common tool sizes
- Tool change unit consists of a chain change system directly attached to the portal
- Tool change automatically sets the correct speed and feed-rate values
- Automatic drill length sensing

Swarf Brush
- Fully automated swarf removal before thermal cutting

Downholder and Downholder roll
- Hold-down device minimises vibrations- thereby increasing machining quality and prolonging tool life
- Hold-down device is used with extensive milling operations
