 AT THE HEART
OF QUALITY
The structure of the machine is extremely robust
and rigid, sized with cutting-edge calculation and
design tools.

The monolithic base provides high sta­

bility and allows the machine to operate
also over several work shifts while con­
tinuing to deliver high quality standards.

The sturdy columns, fixed di­rectly on the

base, fully absorb all vibra­tions generated
during machining.

The Belt Presser allows the panel to run

on the belt guaranteeing uniform pres­
sure which is ideal even for more deli­
cate coverings (opt. only on Akron 1440
and 1445).

HIGH FINISH
QUALITY

Perfect finish, due to the 2-motor Pre-milling unit

with automatic intervention.

As standard, Akron uses only the electrospindles of the ex­

clusive Rotax range on all the machines. These are electros­
pindles of the highest quality, designed and made by HSD (a
leader in this sector); they guarantee optimum power, com­
pact dimensions, and extremely high finishing standards.

The Pre-milling Autoset device for the automatic centring

of the tool on the panel improves quality whilst reducing
set-up times.

TOP QUALITY CHARACTER

Unprecedented product quality and reduced machining times,

thanks to technological solutions created for the specific
day-to-day work.

The automatic axis of the working units have a reading system that allows the
machine to know -at any time -if the setting is correct. They are fitted with motors
with a positioning tolerance of 0.01 mm, for optimum machining accuracy. Their
compact size considerably extends their range of application. Changeover time
reduced by 75%.

The measurement was carried out in compliance with UNI EN ISO 18217, UNI EN ISO 3746, UNI EN ISO 11202 and subsequent modifications. The noise levels shown are emission levels and do not
necessarily correspond to safe operation levels. Even though there is a relation between emission levels and exposure levels, this cannot be used reliably to establish whether or not further precau­
tions are necessary. The factors determining the actual noise levels to which the operating personnel are exposed include the length of exposure, the characteristics of the work environment, other
emission sources (e.g. the number of machines and machining operations nearby). At any rate, the above information allows the operator to better evaluate dangers and risks.
