Bellows for the protection of the roof of mobile traverse milling machines

WAVE SKY are bellows that limit the escape of fumes, dust and shavings from the workpiece processing area.
With the application of the WAVE SKY bellows, the power for the extraction of fumes in the processing of carbon fibres, composite material and vaporised coolant is reduced.
The special translucent fabric used ensures brightness in the processing area.

To ensure easier and faster movement of the machine roof, this bellows cover is also available in a motorized version driven by the innovative SMARTDRIVE.

This latest-generation motorization is also available in a WIRELESS configuration: the new E-Drive control unit completely eliminates the need for cables between the mobile crossbar and the machine tool.

Technical features:

  • MAX SPEED: 90 mt/min.
  • MAX ACCELERATION: 1g
  • WIDTH BETWEEN RAILS MAX: 6.000 mm
  • MAXIMUM STROKE: 25.000 mm
  • STANDARD FOLD HEIGHT: 100/150/200/250/300 mm

CERAMIX

Wave Sky bellows for roofs

CERAMIX, PEI TEMAT180 code, has excellent resistance to abrasion, cuts, oils and high temperatures. The textile insert is made up of two coupled fabrics and this gives the fabric a high transversal rigidity and an excellent aesthetic appearance. In WAVE-SKY, CERAMIX is used only in the folds of the bellows near the work area, in the presence of large quantities of hot and sharp ALUMINIUM chips, for high-speed chip removal in a dry working environment. ANTISTATIC.

CERAMIX LIGHT, PEI TEMAT181 code, has excellent resistance to abrasion, cuts, oils and high temperatures. The textile insert is made of an ANTISTATIC fabric with good transverse rigidity and an excellent aesthetic appearance. CERAMIX LIGHT is used in the presence of hot and sharp chips, for high-speed chip removal in both dry and wet working environments.

Motorisation

SMARTDRIVE HP

Wave Sky bellows for roofs

Power has been doubled, thanks to two motors installed inside a cartridge, that can be completely and easly removed for maintenance operations in case of failure.
The rack has been positioned outside the protective cover, allowing smoother movement, much easier maintenance and longer service life.
This Plug & Play solution enables continuous machine operation, avoiding costly downtime.

PATENTED

E-SMARTDRIVE

Wave Sky bellows for roofs

 

 

 

The Wireless motorization enables the complete elimination of cables and cable carriers, providing significant advantages for both the machine builder and the end-user.
Installation becomes faster and simpler, significantly reducing assembly time and costs and optimizing space around the machining center, improving both accessibility and cleanliness.

The new wireless architecture is currently patent-pending and represents an unprecedented solution in the machine tool market, where no similar applications currently exist for systems of this type.

E-DRIVE

Wave Sky bellows for roofs

 

The 24V battery housed inside the E-Drive control unit can be quickly and easily replaced by removing the casing in just a few simple steps, avoiding costly production line downtime.

The new E-SmartDrive features a pre-assembled mechanical end-of-stroke, which ensures immediate stop in the event of overtravel.

The entire traverse of the Wave Sky is equipped with a tape switch: in the presence of an obstacle, the compression of the component activates an electrical contact that instantly sends an emergency stop signal.
