Powerful, precise, and robust - for efficient milling of very large and heavy parts
- the solid cast-iron work table rests on the steel machine frame providing maximum machine rigidity
- moving column design combined with a gear drive allows dynamic rapid feed speeds up to 20 m/min, regardless of workpiece weights
- zero-backlash moving column feed across the entire travel distance is guaranteed by two gearboxes mounted against each other: this allows immediate power transmission onto the gears and ensures a high degree of efficiency and minimum energy loss
- the long milling table holds loads up to 2500 kg and allows simultaneous clamping of multiple parts, or long-bed machining
- equipped with a GPlus 450 control, the Matrix impresses experienced users with its flexibility, user-friendly operation as well as easy and quick programming of graphics supported milling and drilling cycles
- includes totally enclosed work space, 24-station tool turret, and 3-axis central lubrication system
- powerful spindle with speeds up to 12,000 rpm spindle cooler optional

- Drilling cycles: basic drilling, drilling with dwell time, deep-hole drilling, tapping, reaming
- Drill patterns: row of holes, Hole circle / segment, free drill positioning, rectangle / parallelogram, grid
Why PC Technology?
- PC Technology serves as platform for high-performance CNCs, since it allows us to automatically take part in the development programs of leading manufacturers of motherboards, hard drives, software, and operating systems. Thus, these manufacturers provide us with an "extended workbench". The rapid development of these components gives the KNUTH GPlus 450 a special edge.
- Optionally, the GPlus 450 software may be installed on a regular office PC (System Requirements: Intel processor) whereby the user interface is fully identical with the machine control user interface. This allows for a very realistic operation and programming training of newcomers. The created NC programs can be tested and simulated and are fully executable on the machine's control.
Maximized PC power results in optimized speed, surface quality, and accuracy of the machine tool and ensures high dynamics and ease of use. This makes the GPlus 450 ideally suited for a large variety of machining technologies, e.g. milling (form construction). Programming of technology-specific machining cycles is quick and easy; therefore, this control can be used for both single part and small batch productions.
The portable hand control unit features an ergonomic design with two Acknowledge buttons (safety enable). The machine axes can only be moved, if one Acknowledge button is activated. Two rotary selector switches are provided for axis selection and feed speed setting. Additionally, the hand control unit is equipped with an emergency stop button, an electronic hand-wheel and machine-dependent function keys to simplify machine set-up.
