Today we are gonna show you a machine that we think every machine-shop should have on their floor, because of its capacity, its flexibility and the compact space occupation.
This is the ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ machine. As you all know by now, IBARMIA is a specialist in customizing moving column machining centers for specific needs. The STAR range is a โready to goโ standard configuration that meets a wide range of requirements.
So letโs see what makes this machine so capable and so flexible. Itโs flexibility comes from a combination of three key elements that working together provide solutions that are usually given separately by individual machines:

This is an In-House design, used in all IBARMIA machines across the whole range. The movement comes from a torque motor so it makes it fast, clean and accurate. We have a rotary scale on the rotating shaft which gives us a direct measure of the position making it ideal for 5 axis operations.
The very strong blocking system gives us 6000Nm clamping force, making it a very rigid vertical spindle and even a horizontal spindle. Within that B axis spindle housing, we have a very powerful HSK-63 spindle that provides up to 45 Kw power and torque of 200Nm reaching a speed of 15000 rpm.
This beast here provides double the power that many of its competitors and it allows cutting through those โhard to machineโ materials like stainless steel, titanium, inconels, etc. at low speed with high torque and high power. It also reaches a speed as I said of 15000rpm making it ideal to work in Aliminium applications.

We have a rotary table with a diameter of 800mm, but we can swing parts up to 1100mm diameter with a maximum weight of 1500kg. This element, combined with the B axis head, allows us making 5 axis machining operations and 5 face machining operations. And we can also use this head as a horizontal spindle, we can have tombstone fixture here and attach parts on the 4 faces of that fixture, and use the machine as a horizontal machining center with the advantage that we have clear visibility of whatโs happening in the machining point, we can have a very easy access to the parts and we have the advantage that this horizontal spindle can move at angles, allowing us making compound angles operations on these parts.
๐. ๐๐๐๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐ฑ๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐ฅ๐:
The vertical fixed table allows us to use this machine as a standard Vertical Machining Center, with the advantage that we have a B axis head so we can work on angles in the same set up. This working area gives us a X:1500mm Y:800 Z:800 so we can work on large plates in the whole working area, because the rotary table and the fixed table are at the same level so we can put parts on the whole working area like large plates, large molds and we can even have a 4 axis rotary table and use on long parts on different faces.
Another thing that we could have here could be a special โpick up stationโ for extra large tools, so we can make deep drilling operations on the parts on the rotary table.
All this capacity and all this flexibility are supported by modern features like:
1. Automatic doors
2. Machine robot interface so you can leave the machine unattended and let the robot do all the loading/unloading operations of parts.
3. A large ATC that cn be managed without stopping the machine.
So, this a machine that every machine-shop should have on their floor because of its capacity on the powerful spindle, the load capacity, the large working area, and all the solutions it provides in a very compact floor space.
