The C-305 is a 5-axis machine designed for small to medium-sized workpieces. It is particularly well-suited for machining aerospace components and diamond cutting tools. With five synchronized and highly dynamic axes, it offers exceptional precision and flexibility, making it the perfect choice for complex and demanding machining tasks.
Built on a dedicated CNC platform distinct from Synova's S-Series, the C-Series models are powered by the LMJ technology, which includes the following core components:
- An advanced optical head with a micro-coupling unit,
- A high-power laser source,
- An efficient water pump, and
- A water treatment system.
Materials
Hard materials: Polycrystalline CBN (PcBN), polycrystalline diamond (PCD), monocrystalline diamond (MCD), chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) diamond, natural diamond (ND), tungsten carbide (WC)
Metals: Stainless steel, gold, Durnico, CuBe, copper, brass, aluminium, shape-memory alloys (Nitinol), titanium, nickel, superalloys etc.
Ceramics: Ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs), silicon carbide (SiC), silicon nitride (SiN), zirconia (ZrO2), HTCC/ LTCC, aluminium nitride (AlN), aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
Operations
5-axis machine: 3D shaping, cutting, drilling, slicing, edge grinding (K-land edges, single or multiple clearance angles), grooving, milling, engraving, turning
Key Benefits
- Sharp and Smooth
- Cylindrical beam resulting in parallel kerfs (no V-shape)
- Smooth cutting surfaces and sharp edges (Ra as low as 0.15 μm)
- Virtually no heat impact thanks to water jet cooling capability
- Fast and Accurate
- Finish cutting of 1.6 mm PCD and cemented carbide in 5 mm/min.
- High mechanical precision with a tolerance of +/- 3 μm
- Very small kerf width (down to 30 μm)
- Clean and Easy
- Clean surfaces, no depositions or burrs
- No or very little post treatment required
- No laser focusing or distance control required
