How much does the Anger Machining PP2 cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Anger Machining PP2 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.

Overview

The Anger Machining PP2 is a twin-spindle horizontal machining center for extruded aluminium profiles. Two spindles on independent columns work along 3,200 mm (126.0 in) of X travel, with 915 mm (36.0 in) in Y and 630 mm (24.8 in) in Z, on profiles up to 3,400 mm long.

Its layout is built around loading. There are two machining bridges, each on its own A-axis. While both spindles cut on one bridge, the other is unloaded and reloaded, and Anger gives a changeover time of just 2 seconds between them. The machine is designed for a robot to do that loading.

Each A-axis carries up to 3,000 kg and clears an interference diameter of Ø560 mm, which is slim compared with the Ø1,200 mm of the SP2-D and SP2-P. That is the point of the PP2: profiles such as battery frames, rocker panels and trailer sections do not need a big swing, and a slim bridge is what Anger calls ideal for profile processing. Machining through the A-axis is possible if required.

The spindles are HSK63-A units with 0-18,000 rpm, 30/50 kW and 50/80 Nm (S1/S6-30%), at least 860 mm apart in X. Each has a 29-tool disc magazine as standard, with 41 or 61 tools in brackets. Rapids are 90/60/60 m/min and chip-to-chip time is 4.5 s. The standard bridge has integrated zero-point clamping, so fixtures can move between machines of the SP and PP series.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Two bridges on separate A-axes: one is loaded while the other is machined
Changeover between bridges in 2 seconds, according to Anger
Two HSK63-A spindles with 0-18,000 rpm on independent moving columns
Clamping length of 3,200 mm for long profiles in twin-spindle mode
Zero-point clamping in the standard bridge, shared with the SP series

Limitations

Interference diameter is Ø560 mm per A-axis, too small for deep three-dimensional parts
Listed as a 4-axis machine with no optional B-axis in the table
Spindle torque of 50/80 Nm limits it to light-alloy cutting
Tool length is limited to 350 mm
Designed for robotic loading, so the cell around it is part of the project

Best For

Extruded aluminium battery-frame profiles Rocker panels and trailer profiles up to 3,400 mm long Robot-loaded production with loading during the cut Pairs of short profiles machined in parallel on one bridge

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does loading work on the PP2?

The machine has two machining bridges on two separate A-axes. Both spindles work on one bridge while the second bridge is loaded and unloaded, which Anger designs for a robot. The changeover time between the bridges is given as just 2 seconds.

02 How long a profile can the PP2 machine?

The maximum part size is listed as 3,400 x Ø 560 mm per A-axis, and Anger's text gives a clamping length of 3,200 mm, which is also the X travel. Each A-axis is rated for 3,000 kg.

03 What are the spindle and tool data?

Two HSK63-A spindles, each with 0-18,000 rpm, 30/50 kW and 50/80 Nm as S1/S6-30% ratings. Tool capacity is 2 x 29, with 2x41 and 2x61 as the bracketed alternatives. Tool length is up to 350 mm and tool weight up to 8 kg; the tool diameter row reads 95/125 (80/200) mm.

04 What is the difference between the PP2 and the SP2-D?

Swing and loading. The PP2 has two slim bridges with an interference diameter of Ø560 mm each and is loaded by robot during machining. The SP2-D has one large bridge with Ø1,200 mm of interference diameter, can be loaded manually or by robot, and lists an optional B-axis. Travels and spindles are the same.

05 Which control does the PP2 use?

Siemens is the only control in the table. Lubrication is listed as MQL, the operating voltage as 3x400 V and the total connected power as 110 kW. The machine weighs 23,000 kg (50,705 lb) and measures 5,000/5,300/3,250 mm (L/W/H).
