And this is what our customers

"Since January 2014, we have been successfully using the ICV 4030 in the production of temples. Particularly commendable is that we could start working with this machine immediately. The machine operators were familiar with the control after just a short induction time. It is also top class when it comes to surface quality and repetition accuracy, as well as machining time."

"With the procurement of the ICP, it has been possible to replace extensive conventional drilling and milling technology in our production. The ICP 3020 operates in just the smallest space without complication, entirely fault-free, is low maintenance and requires minimal set-up work. Thanks to the isyCAM training in Eiterfeld, as a complete beginner we have been able to work on a CNC-controlled system from day one. Excellent service, excellent team, great value for money and made in Germany too"

• Production interruptions (downtimes plus cleaning work), resulting from frequent cleaning work on the CNC system, are significantly reduced.

• Premature wear and unnecessary defects in high-value components (axes, control, accessory components) are avoided.

Extraction technology is increasingly gaining in significance. When utilised correctly and perfectly designed for the respective application, it provides enormous advantages:

The ERWIN grid vacuum clamping system is used to clamp workpieces with simple, large geometries, e.g. panel material. The necessary clamping ranges are safely clamped through the use of sealing cords. The work table of a CNC system is equipped with multiple vacuum plates, which are manufactured from PVC. The individual plates and the required groove grid are processed directly on the CNC system, so that a plane surface of the vacuum table is guaranteed.

• Max. vacuum (mbar abs.): 3.0 • Max. vacuum (mbar rel.): -997• Motor output: 1.55 kW• Speed: 1420 rpm• Voltage: 380 V

for Economy CNC machines

The aspect of health should always be the priority. Fine dust is generated with many applications, visible as deposits on level surfaces. However, the fact that respirable fine dust in the intake area of the CNC system swirls invisibly in the air is often underestimated.

The GPV/GPY series machines are tried and tested 5-axis systems! Today's applications demand a machine concept that is versatile in use for up to 5-axis processing on the one hand, whilst also offering large processing surfaces and correspondingly large travel ranges. The system should of course also be economical and cheap to procure, and suitable for expansion with additional applications for the future. Nothing more simple than that: through the countless possible combinations of the machine frame with linear axes and rotating axes, it has been possible to realise a unique and flexible design. The interesting parts of the GPV CNC machine range are the double-sided driven Y and Z axes with very high Z clearance. The application area and milling materials are similar to those of the GFV systems. Through the stable cross member, the system concept could have been created especially for 5-axis processing (4th/5th axis as a rotating/swivelling head).

The PREMIUM 4030µ graphite is the ideal machine concept for milling graphite and copper electrodes. Based on the PREMIUM 4030µ, all essential points of high-speed cutting are combined in this CNC system, so that the performance of this machining process can be fully utilised. The high stability required for HSC milling is attained through the solid granite table with steel substructure. Granite is a natural stone that provides all characteristics that are required as the base for a precision machine: high damping, high thermal stability and high compressive strength. Linear guides and linear motors are installed outside the working area. An arrangement that additionally protects these components against chips and abrasive fine dusts. Furthermore, extraction of the fine dust generated during processing takes place particularly efficiently with Tornado power, due to the variable arrangement of the extraction cyclone. Another highlight: the PREMIUM 4030µ graphite is compatible with all zero point clamping systems. The electrode retainers and changer systems of all renowned manufacturers (Hirschmann, EROWA, 3R, etc.) can be integrated upon request. The rapid control technology required for HSC processing is optionally provided by i-8000 or Heidenhain®.

The new PREMIUM 1010 micro precision machine is predestined for manufacturing small parts as individual or series parts. The 5-axis HSC milling system has the additional option of connecting automation systems such as handling systems or robots for unmanned production. Thanks to expanded control and communication possibilities, it is possible to integrate different automation units and to control these autonomously in the production process. In order to guarantee extreme stiffness and precision for the machine, the machine's base structure has also been constructed from steel and polished hard rock. The polished natural granite was manufactured according to DIN 876 / quality 00 and used as the bearing material for all linear axes. This enables precise long-term stability and extensive temperature independence.

customised machines

CNC system with integrated shuttle table and monitoring with light barrier

The base of a custom machine may for example have entirely different dimensions to a serial machine, e.g. different travel paths, clearance heights, table cut-outs, front clamping areas (for extremely tall parts), shuttle tables or axes arrangements for the in-line process.

It is possible to integrate automatic part feeds, connections to handling systems or robot equipment for unmanned production. The required communication with external control systems is guaranteed through a wide range of free inputs/outputs, a superordinate PLC and the open NC command scope.

Upon request, we can complement the automation system with clamping and extraction technology, as well as aligned user interfaces or input screens, so that the CNC system can be operated by any level of user. Typical applications may include a simple input screen for selecting the article to be milled, article number management, the number of repetitions or a barcode/data matrix connection. The

perfectly tailored components therefore facilitate customer-specific CNC machine systems that are also tailored to the application for industrial series production. CNC systems with an integrated shuttle table and monitoring with light barrier for integration in production lines or to connect equipping machines are also possible.

Thanks to the unique, modular and flexible design of the machine systems, we are able to plan and implement tailored CNC automation solutions for industrial production within just a short time, according to your wishes and requirements.

Save time with two working areas

The custom machine, with the legally protected metal/granite sandwich construction for the moving axes (gantry and crossbeam), is based on the proven machine concept of imes-icore GmbH. The axes drive on high-precision linear guides that are mounted on a solid steel/granite machine table. This results in maximum stiffness with simultaneous weight savings. Extensive dynamics and a high degree of running quietness are attained with the driven nuts on the circulating ball screw. AC servo motors are used as drives here. The powerful ES915 spindle with SK 30 tool holder permits tools with a diameter of 20 mm to be clamped. The benefit of this machine concept is obvious: With our 3-axis system, you have access to two separate machine tables. By protecting the individual work tables, it is possible to load and unload one side while a machining process takes place on the other side. The machine standstill times are reduced to a minimum in this way. The co-ordinated functions such as jerk control, speed and acceleration pre-settings, and look-ahead rail control enable optimised utilisation of the technology and alignment with changing requirements when it comes to speed, accuracy and surface quality.

The iCUTwater waterjet range leaves nothing to be desired. For example, the iCUTwater PLATINUM has highly-dynamic, granite-mounted linear drives. This drive form and the stable design enable high travel speeds and maximum accuracy. The iCUTwater basic is the basis for this range. Here, imes-icore has placed value on top quality workmanship, together with excellent value for money. The expansion possibilities are vast: Water level regulation, start-hole drilling machine or abrasive desludging. The patented iCUTwater tube cutting device enables cutting without sacrificial material and has impressively short set-up times. A 5-axis head for correcting the cutting angle or up to 12 heads are possible. Be impressed by the iCUTwater waterjet range!

We offer our customers the possibility of finding solutions especially tailored to their needs. This also applies to selecting the right pump for waterjet systems. Choose from a wide range of models, from economical pumps with an output of 7.5 kW to extremely high capacity pumps with an output of up to 93 kW and 6200 bar. We currently work with three renowned pump manufacturers. UHDE - places the highest demands on material and processing. BHDT - delivers not only impressive outputs but also saves up to 15 % energy through modern drive concepts. Or KMT, who are able to generate 6200 bar with their Waterjet PRO ultra high pressure range. However, we are particularly proud of our own pumps. We presently offer two extremely compact and economical pumps with outputs of 7.5 kW and 22 kW - of course, they are made in Germany.

We offer various equipment options from renowned suppliers, such as the proven abrasive equipment from Allfi or KMT. We offer solutions from Metallbau Müller for abrasive desludging options. From simple designs to complex systems, these also enable the water level to be regulated infinitely.

An optical positioning laser, which enables perfect positioning parallel to the cutting head, is also popular. Of course, we are also happy to supply you with individual accessories that we have produced ourselves.

imes-icore GmbH has two aligned cutting head systems available for various 5-axis waterjet processing tasks. Both systems carry out movement around the TCP (tool centre point) and therefore save a large amount of space.

The 10° 5-axis head was developed in order to minimise effects that are detrimental to the cutting results in the cutting angle at very high cutting speeds, as can arise with very high pressures of up to 6200 bar. The effect of this is that the cutting edge no longer runs vertically to the material surface. In order to achieve a quality cut at these high speeds regardless of this, the necessary movements of the cutting head must be implemented highly dynamically, without corrections in X, Y and Z. Through the unique design principle, it is possible to cut endless numbers of "spirals" without a return movement being required. The imes-icore in-house developed movement mechanism is particularly space-efficient by limiting the working angle to a maximum of ± 10°, and can therefore be retrofitted to existing machines. The 45° 5-axis head is available with a true 45° cutting device. This enables 2.5D or 3D cuts to be carried out on panel material. The swivel movement is also carried out around the TCP. During the entire cutting procedure, a tailored height sensing system ensures a constant distance between the water outlet and the workpiece surface. This system also enables the user to correct the cutting angle.

iCUTwater 5-axis headWaterjet system accessories

iCUTwater tube cutting devicePipe processing with an abrasive waterjet requires a number of features, in order to guarantee an industrial production process. imes-icore GmbH therefore offers its own auxiliary module for your flat material waterjet systems, which enables tube processing without damaging the inside of the tube and without using the customary sacrificial material.

This patented process works quietly and splash-free beneath the water level and requires no costly and vulnerable fourth axis. The pipe is moved purely mechanically without an additional drive. The specialised controller only

reads in processed 3D drawings for this. However, the operator without CAD experience can also prepare pipe processing in just a few seconds with macro support. Because the tube cutting device is an additional module, the waterjet system can change between tube and flat material processing with just a few manual adjustments.

Even more flexible with the iCUTwater tube cutting device!
