WINDSOR, CT – IBARMIA is proud to present its next Generation T Series universal 5-axis machining centers, now enhanced with increased dynamics and several optimized features to meet the demands of an increasingly competitive market. This series, ranging from the compact T12 for precision parts to the robust T36 capable of handling up to 25 tons, sets new standards in productivity and precision.
Enhanced Dynamics and Precision Across the T Series
Higher productivity was the top priority in the evolution of the T Series, with significant improvements in the dynamics of the X, Y, and Z axes. The T12 and T16 models now feature powerful direct drives, achieving feed rates up to 2,362 IPM (60 m/min) on the T12 and up to 1,968 IPM (50 m/min) on the T16. These advancements, combined with additional cooling measures and optimized machine stiffness, enable the T Series to deliver unmatched precision, with standard models achieving a precision of 6 µm on the T12 and 7 µm on the T16.
More Dynamic Rotary Tables and Optimized Tool Change Systems
In addition to the enhancements in the T Series, the next generation also includes more dynamic rotary tables and optimized Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) systems. The T12 model now supports speeds of up 50 rpm for high-performance milling, while the maximum tool length in the standard tool magazine has been extended from 17.71” (450) to 23.62” (600 mm), reducing chip-to-chip times to just 7 seconds on the T12.
IBARMIA THC12 Multiprocess at IMTS 2024
For the first time ever, IBARMIA showcased its innovative THC12 Multiprocess universal 5-axis multitasking machining center at IMTS 2024, within the Select Machining Technologies exhibit. The cutting-edge machine, equipped with an automatic pallet changer, was designed for automated machining of large diameter and prismatic parts, and was a highlight of the exhibition.
The THC12 Multiprocess offers a massive 112 HP spindle, capable of 12,000 RPM, and features impressive travel dimensions of 47.24″ on the X-axis, 51.18″ on the Y-axis, and 39.37″ on the Z-axis. The machine also supports a 49.21″ swing for turning, making it ideal for a wide range of complex machining tasks.
