The system combines the features of a dedicated graphite machine with the flexibility of the company’s HSM500 high-speed milling platform. Clad in black paint to denote its specialty, the machine sports an optimized Step-Tec 42,000-rpm spindle, a sophisticated exhaust sys- tem and the ability to quickly switch between wet and dry machining. The flexibility of the HSM 500 Graphite ensures that shops can have an all-in-one high-speed milling solu- tion that allows for wet applications while at the same time benefiting from a machine that specializes in graphite applications. Its high-dynamic drives, polymer concrete base and improved spindle allow the machine to hold ex- tremely tight tolerances, such as those required for advanced glass molds and other graphite parts. The HSM 500 Graphite includes the Operator Support System for automating complex machine setting changes, Intelligent Thermal Control for warm-up time reductions as well as what the company reports is the high- est possible accuracy and anAdvanced Process System for on-the-fly control of spindle functions. GF Machining Solutions has also designed the machine around its au- tomation and die-sinking EDM lines to provide customers with a complete manufacturing solution, making it easy to pair the HSM 500 Graphite with such machines as a System 3R Work- Partner 1+ and an AgieCharmilles FORM P 250.
