Bertsche i-Jet is selected
to perform critical deburr and clean
operations at a leading automotive
transmission supplier. The key selection
criteria that merited the contract award is
the ability of the machine to simultaneous
deburr multiple complex parts with numerous
internal passages with a single machine
eliminating the need to purchase a 2nd
machine for manufacturing cell. Additionally
the machine pre-washes the part, and final
rinses the finished part and then completely
dries the part for direct shipment to final
assembly.

HITCO orders another major machine as part of
capital expenditure plan
HITCO Carbon Composites Inc. (HITCO, Los Angeles,
Calif.), a subsidiary of the German based SGL Group – The Carbon
Group, announced on Jan. 16 that it has ordered a Bertsche
P5-milling machine designed for high-speed, automated performance in
a demand-driven manufacturing environment.
This machine is used in the production of entire families of
large-scale structural parts. It is comprised of a 5-axis CNC
milling machine with hydraulic, pneumatic, lubrication, dust
collection and power door systems, and full machine enclosure. HITCO
intends to use this equipment for drilling and finishing composite
floor beams for new commercial aircraft programs.
HITCO Carbon Composites, Inc. founded in 1922,
manufactures advanced composite materials primarily for aerospace
and defense applications, and is a part of SGL Group’s Business Unit
Carbon Fibers and Composites (CFC).

High Speed 5 Axis Bridge Machine with
Smart Fixturing System
Bertsche Engineering
introduces new High Speed 5 Axis Bridge
Machine with Smart Fixturing System to
manufacture complete Floor Systems for the
787 Boeing Dreamliner.
Featuring a direct drive 2 axis rotary head
this 5 axis machine manufactures complete in
a single setup a wide variety of composite
and extruded shaped airplane structural
parts. A smart clamping system features work
holding clamps that reposition under CNC
control during full automatic setup. During
Machining clamps automatically swing away
and drop down as the cutter passes. High
Speed, high power 20,000 rpm 40 hp spindle
is nested inside the high response 2 axis
head.

High Velocity Raised Bed CNC Machining
Center
Bertsche X-Mill, a High
Velocity Raised Bed CNC Machining Center
with added capabilities including a second 3
axis module for 3x3 Milling simultaneous
milling with two independent machining
modules.
Designed, manufactured and built in the
U.S.A., the X-Mill with MM option is a high
performance raised bed, elevated twin
carriage machining center that meets the
needs of companies wishing to high speed
mill a wide range of parts in high volume.
With two independently operating 3 axis
spindle modules two spindles are always
machining either the same or two different
parts. In "Dual Work Zone" mode each spindle
operates independently in its work-zone.
Each X-Mill module traverses at 2363 ipm(60
m/min), feeds to 1050 ipm(26.67m/min),
accelerates at 0.5g and has a 30hp(22kW)
15,000 rpm spindle. The moving 3 axis
spindle module is mass minimized and built
for high feed rate machining. The "Tool
Centered Feed Force" design arrangement
centers the axis feed force "line of action"
on the cutting tool. The machine
incorporates a number of Lean Manufacturing
concepts that allows the machine to be
quickly reconfigured to parallel process
multiple tasks. A single machine can handle
virtually all the needs of any shop that
needs to manufacture a wide variety of
products on a single machine.
