LILAMA 10 enhances its extra-large and heavy-duty machining capabilities with the Taikan HG-M32120H CNC gantry milling machine.

LILAMA 10 enhances its capability for machining extra-long, super-heavy mechanical components with a large-format CNC gantry milling machine

In the field of mechanical manufacturing, machining large-sized and heavy-weight components not only requires equipment with sufficiently large machining space but also demands high rigidity, cutting capability, and stability throughout the machining process. To enhance its capability for precision mechanical machining and machining of extra-long, super-heavy components, LILAMA 10 is equipped with the large-format CNC gantry milling machine Taikan HG-M32120H (G-M32120H). This is a Gantry Machining Center with a machine table up to 12,000 mm long, suitable for large mechanical components such as bearing blocks, machine bases, heavy industrial machine components, hydropower equipment, and components for the energy industry.

Taikan HG-M32120H CNC Gantry Milling Machine – large-format machining capability at LILAMA 10

The Taikan HG-M32120H is designed with a gantry-type CNC machine structure, offering high rigidity, meeting the requirements for machining large-sized, heavy-load components with high precision. The machine features a work table size of 3,200 × 12,000 mm, a load capacity of 15 tons/m², and X/Y/Z travel of 12,500 / 4,800 / 3,000 mm respectively. Notably, the X-axis travel of up to 12,500 mm enables LILAMA 10 to undertake machining of extra-long components that conventional CNC machines struggle to handle. The large machining space also helps reduce the number of re-fixturing operations for long components, thereby limiting errors arising during workpiece re-alignment and enhancing stability during machining.

What products can LILAMA 10 machine on the large-format CNC machine?

With its large table size and machining travel, the Taikan HG-M32120H is particularly well-suited to LILAMA 10's mechanical manufacturing specialization. Product groups and components that can be machined include:

• Large-sized bearing blocks;
• Machine bases and equipment foundations;
• Heavy industrial machine components;
• Components and structures for power plant equipment;
• Hydropower equipment components;
• Large molds and fixtures;
• Extra-long, heavy-load mechanical components;
• Components and equipment for the energy industry;
• Components requiring high precision and stability during machining.

For machine bases or extra-long, super-heavy components, performing milling, drilling, and machining of assembly positions on the same machine system helps reduce the number of setups and facilitates maintaining the correlation between machined features. This is a significant advantage when processing large mechanical components for industrial machinery, equipment, and energy projects.

Milling, Drilling, and Cutting Capabilities for Heavy-Load Mechanical Components

In addition to its large machining space, the Taikan HG-M32120H is equipped with a spindle configuration suitable for cutting operations on industrial components. The machine uses a BT50 taper spindle, with a speed range of 20–4,500 rpm, power of 30–37 kW, and a rated maximum torque of 1,511 N·m. This configuration effectively supports operations such as:

• Surface milling;
• Precision milling of specific features;
• Drilling;
• Hole machining;
• Cutting of large mechanical components.

The machine can process various industrial material groups such as steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, and other suitable mechanical materials, depending on the technical requirements of each product. Furthermore, the FANUC 0i-MF PLUS (1A) control system, combined with heavy-duty guideways and the gantry machine structure, helps maintain stability during machining, especially for cutting operations requiring high rigidity.

Advantages of Machining Extra-Long, Super-Heavy Components

Machining a large component is not merely a matter of table size. When the workpiece length or dimensions exceed the equipment's capacity, companies may have to re-fixture or divide the machining process into multiple stages. Re-fixturing increases alignment time and can introduce errors between machined features. With a 12,000 mm long table and an X-axis travel of 12,500 mm, the Taikan HG-M32120H significantly expands the range of components LILAMA 10 can process. For products suitable for the machine's space and fixturing conditions, reducing the number of setups can offer several benefits:

• Minimizing cumulative errors between setups;
• Enhancing stability during machining;
• Facilitating control over the correlation between machined features;
• Reducing workpiece alignment time;
• Increasing productivity for large-sized components.

This is particularly crucial for bearing blocks, machine bases, heavy industrial machine components, and large mechanical structures with multiple surfaces or features requiring precise machining.

Enhancing LILAMA 10's Manufacturing and Precision Machining Capabilities

The value of the Taikan HG-M32120H lies not merely in the size of a large CNC machine. Owning equipment with a 3,200 × 12,000 mm table, X-axis travel up to 12,500 mm, and a BT50 spindle enables LILAMA 10 to expand its machining scope for products that conventional CNC machines struggle to handle in terms of size and load capacity. This is also a crucial link in LILAMA 10's capability to provide manufacturing – machining – assembly services. From components such as bearing blocks, machine bases, heavy industrial machine components to structures and equipment for power plants, hydropower, and the energy sector, LILAMA 10 gains additional capacity to meet increasingly stringent requirements for size, load, precision, and machining lead times. The investment in the large-format CNC gantry milling machine Taikan HG-M32120H thus contributes to enhancing LILAMA 10's capabilities in structural machining, large-format CNC machining, and machining of extra-long, super-heavy components, creating a foundation for the company to undertake industrial and energy projects with high technical demands.
