The MB-2020 is a highly rigid and precise model within the MB Series of Double Column-Bridge Type Milling Machines. The machine’s foundation consists of a wide base, solid columns, and a robust beam, which together provide the best structural stiffness to ensure excellent geometric accuracy across all three axes. It utilizes traditional and proven technology, featuring full casting components with square guideways that are meticulously coated with precision hand scraping to guarantee optimal stiffness, damping, and low friction. This design allows the machine to effectively adapt to cutting vibration while maintaining precise power transmission. The key specifications for the MB-2020 include an X-axis travel of 2-000 mm and a Y-axis travel of 2-000 mm, with the table measuring 2-000 mm by 1-700 mm and supporting a maximum load of 9-000 kg. The Z-axis is positioned symmetrically relative to the spindle motor to ensure accuracy and precision even during micro-smooth movements. The Z-axis ram’s weight is smoothly and accurately balanced using twin hydraulic cylinders plus a pressured nitrogen accumulator, with the balancing force being optimally adjustable. The spindle is a powerful 18-5 – 22 kW unit with a 2-step gear, achieving a standard speed of 4-000 RPM. Operational efficiency is achieved through rapid traverse rates up to 15 m-min and a compact design utilizing a side-mounted tool magazine with a quick 3-second tool-to-tool change time.
