GIDDINGS & LEWIS PC 50 is a flexible and reliable machine tool designed for enhanced productivity and accuracy in a variety of medium and large scale production environments. It is designed for high precision and repeatability with a two-pallet equipment that enables machine movements to be in constant flow, reducing set-up time. PC 50 is a HMC (Horizontal Machining Center) with a heavily ribbed and reinforced machine bed and a 37.5hp spindle motor. It features a wide work envelope ranging from a two-pallet configuration with dimensions of 32.3" x 23.7" (819.6mm x 603.3mm) to a larger through-spindle pallet size of 68.5" x 35.4" (1737.4mm x 897.2mm). The rigidity of the pallet system and high acceleration/deceleration rates allow for use with heavier cutting tools, resulting in increased productivity and accuracy. For versatile and precise machining, GIDDINGS & LEWIS PC 50 includes a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) unit with an integrated graphics package that provides graphical presentation of results. This allows users to optimize the machining process, visualize tool motion and check part quality. PC 50 is equipped with a 42-tool AH/ATC (Automatic Tool Changer), including advanced probing software and a tool-breakage monitoring machine. This ensures maximum uptime while also providing accurate tool data to CNC tables and making it easier to review requirements. In terms of safety, GIDDINGS & LEWIS PC 50 features a wide range of protections including chip/workpiece containment units, automatic coolant filters and an enclosed spindle. It is also equipped with pressure sensors which ensures proper clamping force, allowing the tool to make accurate, repeatable cuts without risking damage to the spindle or the workpiece. By preventing tool deflection or vibration from excessively large cut forces, PC 50 allows for more accurate and precise machining. GIDDINGS & LEWIS PC 50 is a reliable and productive machine that is designed to perform quickly and accurately on a variety of operations. With established reliability, ergonomic design and user-friendly controls, this machine tool is well-suited to larger-scale production environments with demanding working conditions.
