Modular work centers with interpolating axes for tubes and profiles

RALC Italia specializes in designing modular work centers with 4 or 5 axes for processing tubes and profiles of various shapes, including round, square, rectangular, and hexagonal. These work centers by the company offer exceptional precision and reliable results. Thanks to their modular design, these work centers can seamlessly adjust to diverse operations such as drilling, material removal, flow drilling, milling, and cutting. Furthermore, they can be fitted with automatic and modular loading and unloading systems, incorporating robotic solutions or complete islands with bending, punching, and more.

All RALC Italia work centers present fully interpolating axes with automatic management, eliminating the need for recalibration after machine restarts or emergency stops. They are available with X-axis working ranges of 4,000mm, 6,700mm, 9,000mm, and customizable lengths upon request.

These remarkable attributes make RALC Italia's work centers ideal for companies with high production volumes. Here is an overview of the different models available:

RMC M - 4 axes
Designed for working with light alloys, aluminum, copper, plastics, and thin-gauge steel, the RMC M work center excels in performance, repeatability, and precision. It features a mobile portal with a spindle driven by a rack encoder geared motor. The portal smoothly moves along two precision guides fixed on the base. For added convenience, the mobile portal includes a movable protective cover that reduces environmental noise and shields the operator from machining chips. Additionally, a specific version of the RMC M model is available for producing copper and iron collectors within certain thickness limits.

RMC SL - 5 axes
Tailored for high-volume production of extrusions in light alloys, aluminum, copper, plastics, steel, and stainless steel, the RMC SL work center ensures optimal finishing and above-average speeds. The spindle with a bi-rotary machining head is inserted into a cantilevered mobile portal, driven by a gearmotor with a rack and encoder; it slides on two precision guides fixed to the base. As for other models, the mobile portal features a mobile guard to contain machining chips and micro-lubrication fumes while reducing noise.

RMC SL gantry - 5 axes
This RMC SL work center variant incorporates a gantry structure where the spindle carriage group is mounted.  Due to the dual motors in Gantry functionality, it provides an expanded (doubled) Y-axis working range compared to the standard version. This design ensures outstanding precision and movement stability, enabling precise axis motion control.

RMC SL for collectors - 6 or 7 axes
Specifically designed for complex collector production in the refrigeration sector, the RMC SL work center boasts an additional sixth axis—a tube-carrying spindle with a locking system. This feature enables rotational movement of the workpiece for executing typical collector operations. In the case of a double-zone design, each zone can be equipped with a spindle, resulting in a 7-axis configuration. The RMC SL work center is suitable for working with materials such as copper, steel, and stainless steel.
