Technical Specifications

How It Works

The 5-Axis Gantry Machining Center for Curtain Wall operates with a moving gantry over a fixed worktable. The operator places the aluminum extrusion on the table and activates the pneumatic or hydraulic clamping. A pre‑written G‑code program is loaded through the Siemens or OSAI control. The gantry moves along the X axis to the first machining position, and the 5‑axis head delivers the spindle to the required angle. RTCP automatically compensates for tool‑length offsets during rotary movements, so the tool tip follows the programmed path accurately. Operations such as drilling, milling, tapping and sawing are performed on multiple faces without unclamping the profile. When a machining sequence finishes at one zone, the gantry travels to the next, or the machine enters pendulum mode, allowing the operator to unload a finished part and load a new one while machining continues on the adjacent fixture. Chips are removed by an integrated conveyor.
