Fewer Setups. More Productivity.

Unmatched milling and gundrilling performance for mold makers

The UNISIG USC-M series meets the challenges mold builders face

  • Constant pressure for cost reduction and shorter lead times
  • Frequent new and changing designs, with zero room for errors
  • Complex, high-accuracy workpiece geometries with 2D and 3D features
  • Achieving high metal removal rates in parts made from tough materials
  • Drilling very deep holes with intersecting compound angles

UNISIG Solutions for Mold Manufacturing

DEEP HOLE DRILLING AND MILLING ON THE SAME MACHINE PLATFORM
Reduce part handling and setups while improving repeatability to shorten lead times and quickly adapt to changes in part design and process planning.

FASTER DEEP HOLE DRILLING
Optimize feed rates without risk and maximize deep hole drilling output through machine intelligence that uses active process control. UNISIG machines allow for the use of next generation indexable gundrills that enhance the gundrill process and BTA waterline drilling that boost drilling performance.

5-AXIS POSITIONING FOR EXTENDED REACH
Easily access four sides of your parts whether small or large in size as well as successfully perform complex machining and deep hole drilling at compound angles.

HEAVY WEIGHT CAPACITY WITHOUT EXCESSIVELY LARGE TABLES
Confidently machine complete parts, not just side features, regardless of component weight on robust tables that efficiently handle the demands of large mold manufacturing.

Universal Spindle – Milling and Gundrilling

USC-2M | USC-3M

Our universal spindle machines combine strong milling performance with high-feedrate deep hole drilling using indexable gundrilling tools.  The changeover between systems is quick with our pivot and lock chip box system.

  • CAT 50 machining/gundrilling spindle, 4500 rpm
  • 5-axis positioning with rotary table and inclining headstock
  • Glass scales for increased accuracy
  • 60 position tool changer
  • Above floor installation

Dedicated Spindle – Milling and BTA/Gundrilling

USC-2M-BTA | USC-3M-BTA

Our dedicated milling and deep hole drilling spindles raise performance by introducing the BTA deep hole drilling system, along with indexable gundrilling tools.  Drill faster and straighter waterline holes and save days of production on larger mold bases.  No changeover is required when moving between milling and deep hole drilling with our parallel spindle kinematics.

  • CAT 50 machining spindle, 4500 rpm
  • BTA drilling/gundrilling spindle, 4500 rpm
  • 5-axis positioning with rotary table and inclining headstock
  • Glass scales for increased accuracy
  • 40 position tool changer
  • Above floor installation

Geared Headstock Milling and BTA/Gundrilling

USC-M38 | USC-M50

UNISIG geared headstock milling and drilling machines revolutionizes mold manufacturing.  These machines takes weeks out of production schedules and change how mold makers think about designing and manufacturing their parts. Very high geometric accuracy, dynamic performance and productivity options set these machines apart.

  • CAT 50 machining spindle, 2-range geared, 4500 rpm
  • BTA drilling/gundrilling spindle, 5000 rpm
  • 5-axis positioning with rotary table and inclining headstock
  • Glass scales for increased accuracy
  • 120 position tool changer
  • Ergonomic in-floor installation, or above floor installation

Automatic Pallet Changer for Workpieces

USC-M38 | USC-M50

Pallet changers add another dimension of flexibility to production planning.  Jobs can be setup while the machine is running another part.  Scheduling changes or quick tool modification needs can be handled without time-consuming disruptions.

  • Heavy weight capacity up to 25 tons workpieces
  • High accuracy location with pallet seated confirmation
  • Very high rigidity clamping system for heavy machining
