What Are Hybrid Motors?

Hybrid motors are brushless motors which are equipped with high-grade ball bearings. They have permanent magnets as well as electromagnets. We always use them for driving vhf CAM systems because they offer a number of advantages:

	Rotational speed stability even under load variations; this enables finer resolutions
	Highest torque in the lower speed range, no complex and maintenance intensive gear units necessary
	Lowest after-running and smallest transient response – micro step operation additionally increases the positioning accuracy considerably
	Highest holding torque without brake during standstill which leads to a generally increased stiffness of the CAM system
	Reduced risk of machine damage and injury at blockage
	Longest lifetime and maintenance-free
	Our HighTorque hybrid motors are the highest-quality version of stepper motors

Scope of Delivery

	Lift 460, passage 500 mm
	Covering caps and housings in different variants can be found here: Housings

 

On request, we can equip these CAM systems with a number of individual extras which are not listed in the following chapters. We would be glad to provide you with further details about:

	Workpiece-specific fixation with pneumatic clamping devices
	Multi-spindle solutions for a quick serial production of identical workpieces

Controller CNC 580+

The scope of delivery of your basic system includes the controller CNC 580+ which can drive up to five axes simultaneously.

A detailed description of all features can be found here.

 

Further Advantages

	High-class, EMC-compatible connectors at the machine and the controller ensure a reliable operation.
	Everything is in best order: all connecting lines have been laid accurately in cable drag chains.
	Well protected from chips, the ball screw and the linear guide slides for driving the y axis are under the T-slot table. Acrylic flanks which are right and left of the machining range offer additional protection.

vhf’s Classic line has been successfully present on the market since 1992. Numerous detail improvements of the basic mechanics which has proven its worth for more than thousand times and a completely new developed controller of the third generation guarantee the state of the art. The very stable basic mechanics is a key feature. Its low-vibration construction with precise steel linear guides and highly accurate hybrid motor drives makes the systems universally applicable for powerful milling works and finest engravings.

Compact, precise and quick

We deliberately use high-tensile aluminium profiles for the construction of our CAM systems. The honeycomb construction of these profiles guarantees extreme stiffness of the whole system and little weight. One decisive advantage goes along with this fact: There is less mass to be moved around with the axes. This leads to greater acceleration dynamics and to higher processing speeds. On top of that, due to the protective anodic oxidation of the aluminium, your CAM system will always look as if it were new – even after years.

 

The smallest vhf system – CAM 100 Classic (positioning range: 290 x 335 x 70 mm)

 

Due to a positioning range of up to 1,040 x 1,250 mm, these systems are suitable for small to medium-sized workpieces. However, you can push through larger workpieces in machine direction under the bridge, so that they can be processed by stages. When you think of the required machine size, keep in mind that it may be especially in the industrial sector more economic when you choose a bigger basic system for little extra expenses. If you produce several smaller workpieces on a larger panel, you can considerably reduce time and costs for tool and workpiece changing.

These CAM systems are robust and reliable; thus they are very well suitable for every-day usage in a development laboratory, in a workshop or in the industrial production. Due to their modular construction, the systems are easy to maintain and meet all required safety standards.

 

CAM 220 Classic with serial underframe and optional covering cap.

 

All systems from CAM 200 on are equipped as standard with a stable underframe which ensures a safe stand. The table system CAM 100 is so compact that it can be placed on every laboratory table. However, on request, it can also be equipped with an underframe.

A customer-specific equipment of the machines with optional accessories is also possible. For instance, we can manufacture special fixing devices for the serial production of identical workpieces. Just tell us your specific requirement profile.

Even if you plan to integrate a vhf CAM system into an existing system of production sequences (production line), we can offer you in most cases a practical solution.
