Machine tools

In today’s metalworking and mechanical engineering industry, a large majority of the production processes are carried out by numerically controlled (CNC) machines.

These machines use many moving parts (in highly complex CNC machines, in fact, there are several tools working simultaneously) and there is often more than one CNC machine in a workshop.

The consequences in terms of vibration and noise may be easily gathered:

• the moving parts of CNC machines produce vibrations that adversely affect the structure of the machine tool and the building where it is installed (active vibrations); furthermore, without a damping system each machine is also affected by vibrations from adjacent machinery (passive vibrations);
• the noise generated, especially in large production facilities, is considerable.

CNC machines must be equipped with vibration dampers in order to prevent the vibrations they produce from damaging the machines themselves, the buildings and other machinery.

DAB designs and manufactures anti-vibration mounts for all CNC machines. Its comprehensive production includes:

• • anti-vibration mounts for milling machines

• • anti-vibration mounts for lathes

• • anti-vibration mounts for punching machines

• • anti-vibration mounts for bending machines

Vibration dampers for CNC machines are easy to install, inexpensive and highly customisable.

The vibration damping provided by anti-vibration mounts makes it possible to extend the lifespan of CNC machines, reduce their maintenance requirements and downtime, and increase productivity and efficiency.
