Comet X6

home / application type / Products for Aluminium

4-axis CNC machining centre designed for working bars or parts in aluminium, PVC, light alloys in general and steel up to 2 mm. The machine can operate in single-piece and multi-piece mode, with a single work area for bars up to 7 m in length. The COMET X6 model allows machining in pendular mode, with two independent work areas. The machine has a 10-place tool magazine, on the X axis gantry, with the possibility of hosting an angle machining head and a milling disc, to perform machining on the 5 sides of the workpiece. The 4th NC axis allows the electrospindle to rotate from 0° to 180° and position itself at any intermediate angle. The machine can therefore perform machining operations on the top and side faces of the profile at any angle within the range. It also has a mobile work table that facilitates the workpiece loading/unloading operation and significantly increases the workable section.

Power and flexibility of the electrospindle

7 kW S1 high torque electrospindle allows heavy duty machining. It moves along the A-axis allowing rotations from 0° to 180°, so the profile can be machined on 3 faces without being repositioned. It can be used for some types of steel extrusions as well as for aluminium profiles, thanks to the software-adjusted lubricating system. With its double tank it allows either minimum oil circulation or oil emulsion spray-mist.

Operator interface

The possibility of rotating the monitor on its vertical axis allows the operator to view the screen from any position. The user interface has a 24” touchscreen display in 16:9 format, portrait mode, equipped with the necessary USB connections for PC and CNC remote interfaces. It also features an operator panel, mouse, and it is set up for connecting barcode reader and remote operator panel.

Double operation mode

The innovative machining system allows to minimise downtimes when loading and unloading the workpieces to be machined. The system allows loading and consequent machining of workpieces, with different lengths, codes and types of machining for the two working areas. This is a very advantageous solution for the field of window/door frames and for small work orders, where machining is required for small lots of different workpieces.

Glass protection

Safe, perfect, resistant, long-lasting. These are the advantages of choosing glass for protecting the new Comet machining centres. Glass is also easy to clean and less susceptible to scratches and wear. Machine cuts operate to flag machine statuses, thanks to a light colour interface. The whole visor slides downwards, thus making it easier to load the workpieces; additionally, the ends feature aluminium guards that act as a support plane if needed.

Tool magazine

The tool magazine is integrated on the X axis, in the lower part and behind the electrospindle. It allows great reduction of tool change times. This function is particularly useful in the extrusion head and tail machining, avoiding the stroke to get to the magazine, as it moves simultaneously with the electrospindle and its positions. The magazine can contain up to 10 tool holders with relevant tools, which can be set at the operator’s discretion. A sensor detects correct cone positioning.

Products for Aluminium Comet X6 Foldaway tunnel Emmegi

Foldaway tunnel (Optional)

Integrated with the machine’s aesthetics and design, thanks to the perforated sheet metal for transparency and lightness, the tunnel opens and closes as needed. As its length can be reduced when not in use, it helps save space at the workshop. The outlet for the chip conveyor belt and its engine are built into the lower section, in view of an aesthetic and functional design.

Label printer (Optional)

The industrial label printer allows each cut profile to be identified with identifying features from the cutting list. In addition, barcode printing enables easy identification of the profile itself, which is particularly useful for subsequent machining steps on Machining Centres or assisted assembly lines.
