Heavy-duty structure

Ercolina Plus is equipped with a robust anodized aluminum structure featuring 3 linear axes mounted on recirculating ball guides and powered by servomotors, ensuring smooth and precise movements during every operation. The pneumatic positioning cylinders provide stable clamping of the workpiece, minimizing vibrations and enhancing cutting precision. The machine also comes with a protective plexiglass enclosure with sliding doors and a safety alarm, which protects the operator from splinters, debris, and potential malfunctions, maintaining high safety standards during use.

Versatile

Security first

professional cnc milling machine overview

The automated 3 axis CNC milling machine structure includes a protective enclosure that fully surrounds the work area, ensuring maximum safety for the operator. The enclosure is designed with sliding or hinged doors, depending on the machine configuration, for quick and safe access.

The Ercolina software automatically triggers a ‘Door Open’ alert when the enclosure is open, which disappears once it is closed. During operations, the system locks the doors, keeping the area protected.

Milling area

Our professional CNC milling machine offers a large cutting area: 2050 mm on the X-axis, 1250 mm on the Y-axis and 250 mm in height (Z-axis).

This space allows for precise work even on large panels or thicker materials, while always maintaining a high-quality finish.

Handheld control

The device allows the user to remotely manage the machine interface. The operator can perform preliminary operations such as keyboard input for the Z-axis and saving origins, as well as manage the start, pause, and stop of the machining process.

The Jog function, accessible from the dedicated menu, allows for manual movement of the machine. Additionally, there is an MDI menu, which enables the insertion of individual GCode command lines to perform movements with simple machine instructions.

Nettuno Software

Designed and developed in-house, the Nettuno software represents an added value that allows us to maintain our leadership position in the hot wire cutting technology sector for expanded polystyrene processing.

CNC milling machine console

Complementing the Ercolina Plus 3-axis CNC milling machine is a dedicated professional workstation with an integrated HMI.

Designed for optimal ergonomics, it offers sturdy support and secure PC placement, allowing operators to work comfortably and efficiently right beside the machine.

To guarantee the high performance and impeccable reliability needed for precision milling, every component is selected from Dell, ensuring your Ercolina Plus operates continuously and effectively.

Details

Interface.

The Ercolina software offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface, designed to simplify machine management and preparation operations.

Features such as Z-axis probing and setting work origins are easily accessible, allowing the operator to quickly configure the required parameters and focus on operational phases with maximum efficiency.

Processing preview.

The preview functionality allows you to visualize the entire machining path, with an accurate estimation of execution times. Once machining begins, this tool enables you to monitor the tool’s position on the cutting path in real-time, ensuring precision and control at every stage of the process.

The preview visualization helps optimize steps and prevent potential errors, thereby improving overall workflow efficiency.

Pick up where you left off.

Thanks to the servomotors with absolute encoders, it is possible to resume machining without recalibration since the axes remember the cutting position by using the GoBlock function available in the software.

Compatible with CAM software.

To start the machining processes, the Ercolina software requires the import of a .iso file generated through an external CAM software. Once uploaded, this file allows for the precise and efficient management of the entire machining process, ensuring optimal results.
