Redex<\/a>\u2019s highly dynamic and robust spindle drives give Mandelli Sistemi\u2019s new Spark 1300 TITANIUM machining centre excellent performance in both roughing and finishing operations. Redex\u2019s commitment to the project regards milling operations on structural parts of an aircraft. Redex supplied RAM-hit, a coaxial 2-speed gearbox integrated into the RAM of the machining centre.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Titanium is a light but highly resistant alloy that offers interesting manufacturing opportunities for designers, especially when it comes to aircraft structures. And the finished parts can even reach -10 to -15% of their initial weight with a material removal rate (MRR) that is quite relevant. In addition, from forged parts that have shapes much more generous compared to the finished product, it is essential to get specific tolerances to ensure that there are no forging defects, inclusions, etc. that could compromise the fatigue strength of essential aircraft components.
It is therefore strategic to be able to remove a significant amount of the material. The disadvantage is that this material is difficult to machine with a traditional machining centre. Resistant to high temperatures and aggressive chemicals, Titanium has a high strength-to-weight ratio and therefore requires a relatively slow cutting speed and a high torque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The machining centre has been specifically designed for working with titanium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mandelli Sistemi has extensive experience in machining aircraft components., including titanium parts. However, the order placed by its customer was new for the company since it required for the first time the specification of torque up to 2500 Nm. It was also necessary to reduce manufacturing times and increase the MRR. To meet this specific request, a new spindle had to be designed. Mandelli was looking for a spindle gearbox capable of transferring high torque and having a high ratio. The solution was found at Redex, a specialist in advanced gears, with the RAM-Hit, a coaxial 2-speed gearbox integrated into the RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
