Solutions for machine tools

CNC technology for high-performance machine tools

Technology + partnership create competitive edge

KEBA has been automating machine tools for more than 40 years and is one of the few companies worldwide to have its own CNC core. We are happy to share our experience and technologies with you to develop solutions that will set you apart from your competition.

Our CNC core has been the recognized benchmark in the industry for decades when it comes to high machining speed, precision, and flexibility. Thanks to the high-level language Lua and direct extensions in the CNC core, we are able to implement even special requirements efficiently and with high performance.

The machining or removal process is of crucial importance for the quality of a machine tool and its end products. That is why we develop and produce both precision tool spindles with magnetic bearings (6D spindles) and high-performance controls for laser sources and galvanometric scanner axes.

A comprehensive and cost-optimized portfolio of converters and motors is available for machine tools, offering a high degree of flexibility in machine configuration design.

KEBA HMI solutions impress with their high degree of innovation. Modern technologies such as real-time multitouch, force feedback, and the fully adaptive KeWheel enable completely new operating concepts. These technologies make completely new operating options a reality, regardless of which NC control you use.

Our solution portfolio for machine tools

KEBA supplies complete automation solutions that includes mobile and stationary panels, CNC controllers, safety controllers, drive controllers with safe motion monitoring, KEBA I/Os, servo motors, tool spindles, laser source control, and galvanometric axes.

Machine-specific solutions

Your technological uniqueness can evolve

CNC systems for laser processing

Laser in action - sparks are flying

The performance, variability and digitization of laser processing machines places extremely high demands on the automation system. Drawing on 40 years of expertise in CNC technology and many long-standing technology partnerships, KEBA offers open, innovative, and compact CNC solutions for a digital future.

  • 2D laser processing
  • Tube cutting
  • Laser micro-processing
  • Combined punch/laser processing

Magnetic bearing spindles

LeviSpin - magnetic bearing drill spindle

A machining revolution

KEBA offers a magnetically mounted spindle with the LeviSpin R140 drill spindle. The chips are broken up precisely by an oscillating movement superimposed on the feed.

Outstanding benefits

  • Processing speed increased by 200–400 %
  • Tool wear reduced to less than 50 %

Drive technology

Plate Bending Machine

Milling, turning, grinding and bending machines place the highest demands on the drive technology. Our ServoOne CM and ServoOne drive systems are designed for this very purpose. They achieve the maximum precision and dynamic that are possible with the existing machine kinematics.

  • Fast sampling times: Setpoint specification via field bus, position and speed controllers: 125 μs, current controller: 62.5 μs
  • Low-noise detection of all analog variables and high computing power thanks to custom-developed drive ASIC
  • Compensation of encoder errors and mechanical errors
  • Large selection of feedback systems: Resolver, Hiperface, Hiperface DSL, SinCos, EnDat/rotative and linear encoders
  • Single-axis, double-axis, and triple-axis controllers require less space and save costs
  • Passive and active supply units
  • Built-in safety technology

HMI for machine tools
