Machining Center MC 304 ARIEL 4A

MC 304 ARIEL - 4A DPM_MMI Machining Center – Flexible 4 - Axis Performance for Large Profile Machining

The MC 304 ARIEL - 4A DPM_MMI machining center is a powerful and versatile solution for the precise machining of aluminum, PVC, and steel profiles. Equipped with four CNC - controlled axes, the machine enables complex machining operations, high flexibility, and reliable automation—ideal for large profiles and demanding industrial applications.

Robust Machine Construction for Maximum Safety and Stability

The machine frame is manufactured as a stable, stress - relieved welded steel construction and fitted with hardened linear guideways. A protective enclosure above the milling spindle, combined with a three - sided safety fence and a safety light curtain for access monitoring, ensures a high level of operator safety while maintaining excellent accessibility.

High - Performance High - Speed Milling Spindle

The milling spindle delivers 8.5/10.2 kW (S1/S6) with a torque of 13.5/16.2 Nm (S1/S6) and reaches speeds of up to 24,000 rpm. It is air - cooled, equipped with an HSK - F63 tool holder, and features a minimum quantity lubrication system with level monitoring, ensuring outstanding machining quality and long tool life.

Turret Tool Magazine with High Capacity

The 12 - position turret tool magazine accommodates drilling, milling, and tapping tools as well as disc cutters up to Ø 200 mm. This design enables fast tool changes and minimizes non - productive time.

Intelligent Profile Clamping with Optional MAM Function

Eight pneumatic profile clamps with a clamping range of up to 638 mm ensure secure fixation of large profiles.

Automatic positioning is available in two versions:

DPM version: positioning via a device mounted on the portal

MMI version: independent positioning via individual drives

Optionally, the machine can be equipped with the MAM function (Moving Automatic Module). This system automatically detects when a clamp is located within the machining area and repositions it autonomously, ensuring uninterrupted machining and maximum process reliability.

Precise Workpiece Positioning

Pneumatic reference stops on the left and right sides guarantee accurate and repeatable workpiece positioning throughout the machining process.

Large Travels and High Dynamics (Version 7,400)

The MC 304 ARIEL - 4A offers generous axis travels and high traverse speeds:

X - axis: 7,420 mm

Y - axis: 1,460 mm

Z - axis: 620 mm

A - axis: ±100°

Traverse speeds of up to 80 m/min on the X - axis and 3,600°/min on the A - axis enable fast and precise machining. Detailed diagrams are available for exact determination of the working areas.

Versatile Machining Functions

The machining center supports:

Linear and circular interpolation on two axes

Three - sided machining by swiveling the A - axis (90° – 0° – 90°)

End - face machining using disc cutters

Flexible Operating Modes

The machine allows:

Machining of one profile bar over the entire machining length, or

Machining of two profile bars in divided machining length

User - Friendly Operation and Modern Software

Operation is performed via an 18.5” touchscreen, supported by mouse and keyboard. The integrated 3D CAD/CAM software and ISO - compliant programming system ensure intuitive programming and easy integration into existing production workflows.

Reliability in Continuous Operation

A CNC - controlled automatic central lubrication system with level monitoring ensures optimal lubrication of all axes. Optional remote service for the machine software supports maintenance and diagnostics from a distance.

Modular Length Versions and Robust Design

The MC 304 ARIEL - 4A is available in three length versions (7,400/9,400/11,400 mm).

Depending on the configuration, the machine dimensions are:

Length: 9,000/11,160/13,160 mm

Width: 4,300 mm

Height: 2,275 mm

Weight: 6,500/7,000/8,500 kg

This modular concept allows precise adaptation to different production requirements while maintaining a robust, industrial - grade design.
