Breton Matrix E2 1100 K25

Q: How much does the Breton Matrix E2 1100 K25 cost?

The price estimate for the Breton Matrix E2 1100 K25 is uncertain: we have no price for it that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so we give no figure. Configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/breton-matrix-e2-1100-k25#price; the request is passed to Breton or an authorised dealer.

Overview

The Breton Matrix E2 1100 K25 is a 5-axis vertical gantry machining centre with a square plan: 2,500 mm (98.4 in) in X, 2,500 mm (98.4 in) in Y, and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in Z. Breton developed the E2 for hi-feed roughing, semi-finishing and finishing of medium-large workpieces in steel, lightweight alloys and special composites, with large moulds and dies as the home ground.

Its drive concept is the first thing that separates it from the smaller Matrix E1. Where the E1 uses direct motors, the E2 moves X and Y with a Dual Drive system: two motors per axis that push in the same direction for heavy cuts and are preloaded against each other for precision work. Breton adds that the arrangement uses less energy than linear motors and needs no dedicated cooling.

The second is the ram. Z runs on 2 recirculating ball screws with double preloaded nuts and on 2 solid guides with 5 runner blocks, and the ram is no larger in section than the head, so it can follow the tool down into a cavity. In a die with steep walls that is what decides whether the bottom can be reached with a short, stiff tool.

The columns are sandwich structures in arc welded and stabilised steel. Rapids are 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) in X and Y and 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) in Z. The C axis is listed as continuous, at 30 rpm.

The version table has no spindle rows and no tool taper row. Its workbench is listed at 2,000 mm (78.7 in) by 1,000 mm (39.4 in). A longer bed is available as the Breton Matrix E2 1100 K40, with 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Square 2,500 mm (98.4 in) by 2,500 mm (98.4 in) plan with 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of Z
Dual Drive Motors on the X and Y axes, combining thrust for roughing with preload for precision
Ram driven by 2 recirculating ball screws and no larger than the head, for deep cavities
C axis listed as continuous
Sandwich structure columns in arc welded and stabilised steel for stiffness and vibration damping

Limitations

No spindle power, torque, speed or taper in the version table
The workbench is listed at 2,000 mm (78.7 in) by 1,000 mm (39.4 in), smaller than the travels
Rapids of 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) are no higher than on the smaller Matrix E1
No A axis range is printed

Best For

Large moulds and dies in steel up to about 2,500 mm (98.4 in) square Deep cavities reached with the slim ram Hi-feed roughing followed by finishing on the same machine Aerospace and energy parts in superalloys or composites

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What are the travels of the Breton Matrix E2 1100 K25?

X is 2,500 mm (98.4 in), Y is 2,500 mm (98.4 in) and Z is 1,100 mm (43.3 in). The head's C axis is listed as continuous with a rapid speed of 30 rpm.

02 What is Dual Drive on the Matrix E2 1100 K25?

It is Breton's two-motor axis drive, listed for the X and Y axes. For heavy-duty operations both motors deliver their maximum output in the same direction. For higher precision work the preload value is increased automatically. Breton states it has lower energy consumption than linear motors and does not require dedicated cooling systems.

03 How does the Matrix E2 1100 K25 compare with the Matrix E2 1100 K40?

The Breton Matrix E2 1100 K40 has 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X travel against 2,500 mm (98.4 in) here. Y, Z, the rapid feed rates and the C axis rows are the same in both columns.

04 Which spindle does the Matrix E2 1100 K25 use?

The version table does not list spindle power, torque or speed, and it has no taper row. Breton offers several heads and motor spindles for the Matrix E2, so the spindle is chosen at order and its ratings should be taken from the quotation.
