Product catalog summary
Overview
The document describes the Breton Hawx, a high-dynamic 5-axis gantry vertical machining centre designed for high-speed milling and trimming operations on complex three-dimensional parts made of light alloy, resin, or composite materials. It emphasizes the machine's strength, stability, and efficiency in overcoming common limitations such as reduced robustness and poor repeatability.

Key Features
  • Design and Structure: The machine features a monolithic, electro-welded, self-supporting structure for strength and easy handling. Its unique box-in-box architecture enhances the rigidity of the bridge-carriage-RAM assembly.
  • Hornet Head: The new Hornet head increases material removal and accuracy, with an innovative offset geometry that expands the machinable volume while minimizing external dimensions.
  • Footprint Efficiency: Offers up to 29% more working area for the same external dimensions, optimizing space usage in workshops.
  • Machining Capabilities: Suitable for both wet and dry machining, with protective devices to safeguard sensitive parts from dust, chips, and liquids.
  • Safety and Energy Efficiency: Includes a redundant safety system, collision avoidance, and energy-efficient features like electric modules that feed back power to the grid during deceleration.

Technological Innovations
  • Monoblock and Box-in-Box Architecture: Ensures robustness and stability over time, maintaining high accuracy and repeatability.
  • Advanced Control Systems: Equipped with the latest SIEMENS SINUMERIK ONE numerical control for superior performance.
  • Tool Management: Features an external tool store and options for automatic tool presetting, enhancing operational efficiency.

Operational Benefits
  • Ease of Integration: Delivered fully assembled and tested, requiring no special foundations and offering short commissioning times.
  • Maintenance and Accessibility: Designed for easy maintenance with visible utilities and a movable control pendant for ergonomic tool setup.
  • Safety Features: Includes active safety systems and a standard collision avoidance system to protect operators and equipment.

Breton HAWX E1 leaflet-2

The unique box-in-box architecture provides a significant increase in the rigidity of the bridge-carriage-RAM assembly and it combines with the high strength of the new Hornet head to achieve a significant increase in material removal and accuracy, all with the highest dynamics. Investment efficiency The electro-welded, monolithic, selfsupporting structure is the core of the machine, providing strength and allowing easy handling. The innovative offset geometry of the head also makes it possible to increase the volume that can be machined and to minimise the external dimensions of the machine,...

5 reasons to choose Hawx 1 / Robustness and stability over time The monoblock structure and box-in-box bridge have been designed to raise the level of accuracy and repeatability over time while maintaining high accelerations and feedrates. In addition, the new Hornet head, developed by Breton for Hawx, is extremely rigid to ensure greater performances and higher accuracies even on heavier works. The final result is the creation of a new, higher benchmark for machining centres in this category. 2 / Unrivaled footprint ratio Up to 29% more of working area for the same external dimensions.
