1 General
The machining centre STC 630 is designed as a 5-axis machining centre for 5-axis
simultaneous machining of complex workpieces. In addition to 5-axis simultaneous machining,
the machine is also designed for 5-sided drilling and milling work at any angle for a
comprehensive range of workpieces.
The modern machine and control design of these machining centres ensures effective use in
single piece production, small series and medium series production with high productivity and
accuracy.
The design of the machine is based on a cross-bed construction. All main assembles are
computer-optimised and have high static and dynamic stability.
They thus provide the basic prerequisite for high machining precision and long-term accuracy.
All metal and cast materials can be machined. For machining of other materials, it is necessary
to consult the manufacturer.
Special machining
Profile cutting
Helical milling
engine housings
When machining workpieces on the machining centre, observe the geometry in accordance
with the workroom plan and the following features to be found in this section under 'Technical
Specifications':
With special workpiece clamping devices (with hydraulic clamping system), which can be
supplied by the manufacturer as an option, the machining process can be technologically
optimised.
The high-speed machining of light metal and casting materials is a basic area of application of
the STC 630D.
Note:
Cutting capacity does not depend solely on the machine output, however, but is also
influenced by technological conditions such as material properties, workpiece clamping, tool
type, tool projection length, tool cutting angle etc.
3 Assemblies
The design of the machine is based on a cross-bed construction with the following axis
arrangement:
cross-bed
fixed column, guide section and support
Z-slide
rotary-swivelling axis
guiderails and ball screws (linear axes)
measuring systems (linear axes)
feed drives (linear axes)
lubrication system
hydraulic supply
pneumatic processing
weight compensation
cooling system
switch cabinet and installations
CNC-control SIEMENS Sinumerik 840D
work spindle 15,000 rpm for HSK-A63
tool change system (without workpiece pallets)
clamping station
tool changer
tool magazine with 60 storage spaces
workroom cabin with Visiport and emission extraction
chip conveyor
flushing installations (flushing gun, splash shower, external and internal CL supply)
cooling lubricant supply, including high pressure for internal coolant supply
mounting elements
The following sections briefly describe the individual assemblies in terms of structure and
function.
3.1 Cross-bed
The bed carries the anti-friction profile guiderail of the Z-axis. The 6 fastening surfaces for the
fixed column are situated behind the bed. 2 brackets are mounted at the rear of the machine
bed which carry the switch cabinet and the hydraulic unit. The chain magazine and the tool
changer are arranged on the right-hand side.
The bed is open to achieve good chip clearance between the anti-friction profile guiderail of the
Z-axis. The chips fall almost unhindered into the chip conveyor, which is inserted into the front
of the bed parallel to the Z-axis.
The Z-axis is characterised by the parallel arrangement of two inter-ribbed box sections. This
provides a high degree of inherent stability and torsional strength.
The box sections are connected by roof-shaped profiles at regular intervals to ensure chip
clearance.
The fixed column is designed as a welded steel cellular construction. The anti-friction profile
guiderails suspended on the fixed column carry the guide section, which performs the
longitudinal movement (X-axis).
The guide section is designed as a stable, light-weight welded steel construction. This provides
high machine dynamics.
The anti-friction profile guiderails mounted on the guide section carry the support, which
performs the vertical movement (Y-axis).
The support carries the work spindle and is optimised for maximum rigidity with minimum inert
masses.
3.3 Z-slide
The z-slide carries the rotary-swivelling axis and is mounted on the cross-bed via anti-friction
profile guiderails of the Z-axis and moves transversely to the fixed column.
• table
• rotary-swivel table
• B-axis housing
The table carries the pallet and has a direct drive (A-axis). The table itself is built into the
rotary-swivel table. The rotary-swivel table also has a direct drive (B-axis) and is mounted on
the B-axis housing. The B-axis housing is in turn mounted on the z-slide.
The installations for supply, actuation and control of the rotary-swivel functions are located at
the following points:
• rotary-swivel table, below the casings in the upper section and on the back
• z-slide, below the workroom protecting trough, on the tool changer side
• at the interface A-trailing cable installation / workroom cabin
• console cooling unit / hydraulic unit
• electrical switch cabinet
The work spindle is designed as a unit and is mounted on the support in horizontal position via
a flange connection. Additional fixing on the back of the support gives the assembly
considerably greater installed rigidity.
The installations for supply, actuation and control of the work spindle functions are situated on
the back of the support on the jib and on the hydraulic unit or in the electrical switch cabinet.
3.6.1 Guiderails
Pre-loaded, exactly aligned anti-friction profile guiderails ensure high precision of the assembly
guiderails and therefore high machining quality and high long-term accuracy.
Pre-loaded axial-radial table bearings ensure high precision of the rotary and swivel axis
movement. The powerful dimensions are the basis for high long-term accuracy and high
rigidity of the machine structure and therefore high machining quality.
Axes A and B are driven by powerful direct drives. The drive motors (torque motors) are
directly flanged onto the rotary or swivel axis. This drive design does not require any gear parts
in the drive train and therefore ensures play-free operation over the entire service life.
The axes X, Y, Z are driven by digital AC servo motors via V-belts on preloaded ball screws for
the assemblies:
pilot carriage X-axis (2 synchronised AC servo motors)
Z-slide with mounted rotary-swivelling axis
support with work spindle
The pre-loaded ball screws together with the two-sided bearing provides high rigidity of the
linear movement axes.
The drive motors are positioned on the outside for easy servicing. They are located at the top
and bottom on the right-hand side of the fixed column for driving the
pilot carriage X-axis, at the top or bottom on the right-hand side of the fixed
column,
supports on the pilot carriage (X-axis)
Z-slide on the front of the bed
The travels of the linear axes are limited by software limit switches and monitored by the safe
limit positions SI of Safety Integrated.
All profile guiderails, axis drives and measuring systems which are fitted in or on the workroom
are protected by covers and sealed against cooling lubricant and chips.
The complete vertically travelling weight of the Y-axis is compensated via a closed, hydraulic
handling system with hydraulic cylinder, pressure accumulator and charger pump.
The hydraulic cylinder for the weight compensation is attached to the guide section (X-axis)
and acts on the support (Y-axis) via the piston rod.
The length measurement in the axes X, Y and Z is carried out by means of the direct absolute
length gauge. They are sealed in an aluminium housing and are pressurised with compressed
air. The scanning carriage and its guide are thus ideally protected against chips, dust and
splash fluids.
The angle of the A-axis (rotary axis) and B-axis (swivel axis) is measured by the angle
measurement system by means of absolute, direct angle measurement systems. These are
encapsulated designs.
The angle of the spindle (Q-axis) is measured by the angle measurement system via an
incremental gear encoder. This axis positions the angle position of the tool (tool change,
tapping, shaping, angle-defined moving out of the workpiece).
This assembly changes tools fully automatically between the tool magazine and the work
spindle.
In teach mode, tool change on the work spindle is also possible by hand, as described in the
section Operation.
Tool gripper
Double gripper
Swivel arm
Cross slide (slide)
Longitudinal slide (cross slide)
Frame
The tool changer is mounted on the machine bed via the frame on the right. The frame carries
the longitudinal slide.
The tool changer moves to the work spindle via the longitudinal slide. The tool gripper is
inserted into the gripper groove of the tool or extended from it, or moved away from the
spindle with the gripped tool.
When changing tools in the feeder of the tower magazine or in a chain magazine, the tool is
removed from the feeder/magazine or inserted there with the longitudinal slide.
The longitudinal slide in turn carries the cross slide.
When changing the tool in the work spindle, the tool is removed from or inserted into the
work spindle with the cross slide.
The double gripper moves via the cross slide to the feeder of the tower magazine or to the
chain magazine. The tool gripper is inserted into the gripper groove of the tool or extended
from it, or moved away from the tool space with the gripped tool.
The swivel arm presents the double gripper at the work spindle or at the feeder of the tower
magazine or at the chain magazine in the required home position. This is done via a 90°
swivel.
The double gripper is mounted on the swivel arm.
Two tool grippers, consisting of gripper tongs and clamping levers, are mounted on the double
gripper.
The control and monitoring elements are all mounted on the tool changer. Machine control unit
is used for the control itself.
The tower magazine is a particularly space-saving arrangement for a large number of tools.
- Base frame
Depending on the version, the base frame contains two, three or four rotating
tool towers. The guideways and the drives for the feeder are also mounted in
the base frame.
- Tool towers:
Each tool tower holds 4 tool holders (combs) with 15 tool spaces each.
- Tool feeder:
This transports the tools from the tool holder to the tool changer. The drive is
carried out with a toothed belt drive via axes “TLZ” and “TLY”. The feeder arm
carries the tool and enables the transfer to the tool changer or to the
corresponding magazine space.
- Loading station
On each tower, one comb is accessible from the outside through a door for
loading/unloading tools.
- NC-operating panell

The workpiece changer is installed on the foundation plate via separate installation elements
on the right next to the machine. The changer bed forms the supporting structure of the
changer assemblies.
The bearing block with the loading rocker is mounted on the front side of the changer bed. The
support plate is integrated in the loading rocker. The support plate can be rotated and indexed
every 90°.
The loading rocker moves to two positions driven by the hydraulic cylinder:
- Pallet horizontal, for set-up work by the operator.
- Pallet vertical, for transfer / acceptance of the pallet between loading rocker
and gripper units.
The longitudinal slide is mounted on the top of the changer bed via guiderails.
The longitudinal slide moves to four positions via the NC auxiliary axis PCX:
- position “transfer/acceptance at loading rocker“
- position “ready for pallet change“
- position “move swivel frame“
- position “transfer / acceptance at rotary-swivelling axis“
The swivel frame is mounted on the longitudinal slide is via a cross roller bearing. The swivel
frame moves to two positions (travel = 180°) via the NC auxiliary axis PCB:
- position 0°
- position 180°
Gripper units are mounted on the swivel frame. The gripper units are arranged in pairs and
carry the pallet. The gripper is moved by a lever gear via hydraulic cylinder.
The elements for actuation and monitoring are all mounted on the tool change system.
Actuation itself is carried out from the machine control.
The workpiece holder (pallet) is equipped with the interfaces necessary for the tool change
system.
These are:
• holder taper for Berg clamp, for clamping of the pallet on the rotary-swivelling axis or on
the support plate at the set-up station
• connecting links for the grippers on the workpiece changer
The workroom of the machining centre is a cabin closed on all sides. This provides:
The workroom has a lifting gate to the set-up station, which is automatically opened during a
pallet change. The set-up station is also surrounded by a protection equipment. Access is via
two doors.
Another lifting door separates the workroom from the tool changer.
A locked sliding door with inspection window separates the workroom from the main operating
station.
In set-up mode, this sliding door can be opened by hand. This facilitates observation of the
functional processes.
3.10.1.1 Visiport
Rotating inspection glass in the workroom cabin door on the main operating area.
All protective guards which have to be opened during operation are locked, dividing fences
with tumblers, which are equipped with safety switches with mechanical tumblers and can only
be opened when potentially dangerous movements are switched off.
Next to the left-hand column wall, in the tool change area and in the rear machine area there
are locked, dividing protective guards which allow access to all maintenance points of the
machine.
These guards are to be opened with the aid of a tool and secured by a personal protection
switch. The bottom of the machine is separated by the closed machine bed.
The flushing gun is used to clean the workpieces before and after machining.
The chip conveyor is a scraper belt conveyor with a vacuum slotted hole screen. Chips are
ejected approx. 1050 mm above floor level to allow a chip collector to be placed underneath.
The hydraulic unit rests on the right-hand bracket, which is mounted on the rear part of the
machine bed. The hydraulic system has two pump circuits.
- pallet clamp
The pneumatic system of the machine is supplied by the compressed air supply of the user.
The compressed air is prepared for use on the machine by:
- sealing air for option “rotating inspection glass on the main operating area”
- sealing air in the pallet contact and retention knob area of the pallet clamps on
the rotary-swivelling axis (machine) and on the workpiece changer
3.13.3 Lubrication
Pulse lubrication supplies the table bearing of the A- and B-axis, the ball screws and the profile
guiderails of the X-, Y- and Z-axis.
Work spindles up to 15,000 rpm are equipped with bearings with long-term grease lubrication.
Elements not connected to lubrication systems are delivered lubricated where necessary.
3.13.4 Cooling
A cooling unit is situated on a console on the right-hand rear side of the fixed column. The
work spindle and A- and B-axis drive assemblies are connected to the cooling circuit. Heat
elimination via the cooling circuit is used to prevent unauthorised heating of assemblies.
Heat generated in the electrical switch cabinet is eliminated via separate recooling units.
These are built into the switch cabinet doors.
The switching probe is placed in the tool magazine and inserted into/removed from the spindle
with the tool changer via the NC-program.
The switch cabinet of the machine, in which the most important parts of the electrical
equipment are situated, is mounted on the bracket behind the machine bed. The mains power
connection is in the switch cabinet.
The master switch is on the left-hand side of the switch cabinet, looking at the switch cabinet
doors.
The machining centre only requires a suitable mains connection, all other auxiliary voltages
are generated internally.
