Breton MATRIX E3 leaflet-1

Modular 5-axis gantry vertical machining center with high dynamics and high precision. Careful technical choices made it possible to combine thrust and strength with dynamics and precision in order to obtain the ideal performance in hi-feed roughing, semi-finishing and finishing operations on large parts in steel, light alloy or special composites.

The High Dynamics removes all friction factors to obtain more jerk, acceleration and speed, thus improving both precision and quality of the surface in the finishing phase. The Dual Drive motors guarantee power and precision; they move together to achieve maximum thrust when the machining requires significant effort, while working “in preload” when the machine is performing high precision machining. Breton technologies such as High Dynamics and Thermal Shield provide a superior surface finish. Investment efficiency Matrix E3 is used in applications where high precision and large part machining...

5 reasons to choose Matrix E3 1 / Strength, speed and higher precision The main advantage is having multiple production possibilities in a single solution: roughing, semi-finishing, finishing, measurement and check of the surface. A careful design and structural optimization supported by the Digital Twin allowed us creating a machine that combines the strength and robustness required in the roughing phases with the speed and precision required in the superfinishing phase. 2 / Minimized installation and operating costs In the operational life of a machining center, every euro saved on the hourly...
