Jobs Tarkus Series

Tarkus Series:

Tarkus is the new horizontal/vertical milling centre specifically conceived by Jobs to perform 5-axis high-power and high-torque machining operations of components in very tough materials (such as titanium, stainless and special steel, alloy steel) for aerospace, precision general engineering and mould & die fields.

Tarkus presents an exclusive architecture with fixed gantry in X-axis and mobile gantry in Z-axis. Z-axis movement is assured by a vertically moving crossbeam: this choice was made to grant an extremely high and almost constant rigidity all along Z stroke. The particular architecture of Y-axis saddle combined with the geometry of the specific heads allows to reach the part to be machined in depth without risking collision with the crossbeam.

The table offering remarkable dimensional (3000x1500 mm) and loading capabilities assures the highest ergonomics. The machine configuration with double pallet table enables pendular machining of two components with work piece change in masked time.

The main features of Tarkus include:

• high-volume removal capability

• structural rigidity and high damping capability of vibrations

• high dynamics in terms of acceleration and speed

• axis strokes: X=3000 (4500) – Y=2100 – Z=1000 mm

• 5 axis mechanically driven milling head (up to 42 kW and 1470 Nm, 4000 or 6000 RPM), alternatively electro spindle 15000 or 27000 RPM

• high configurability and compactness

• machine full enclosure

• reduced foundation requirements
