Breton Matrix E2 1100 K40

Q: How much does the Breton Matrix E2 1100 K40 cost?

The price estimate for the Breton Matrix E2 1100 K40 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-k40#price; the request is passed to Breton or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Breton Matrix E2 1100 K40 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

Four metres of X is the reason for the Breton Matrix E2 1100 K40. It is the long-bed version of Breton's 5-axis vertical gantry machining centre for large moulds, dies and structural parts, with 4,000 mm (157.5 in) in X, 2,500 mm (98.4 in) in Y and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) in Z.

Who needs the length? Bumper, side-panel and roof tools in the automotive trade, lay-up moulds for aerostructures, and long machine-frame parts in general engineering. A shop whose largest part fits a square of two and a half metres is served by the Breton Matrix E2 1100 K25, which has 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of X on the same Y and Z.

One row needs a question to the maker. The workbench dimensions are printed as 2,000 mm (78.7 in) long and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) wide in this column, the same as for the shorter version. Confirm the table that is actually supplied with the long bed before planning fixtures.

The work area is clad with modular stainless steel panels, which keep their condition under constant exposure to dust and chips. The machine can take rotary tables integrated in the base frame as an option, for combined milling on cylindrical parts.

Both X and Y use Dual Drive motors. Rapid feed rates are 50 m/min (1,969 ipm) in X and Y and 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) in Z, so a full-length traverse takes only a few seconds. C is continuous and turns at 30 rpm. Controls on offer are Siemens Sinumerik One and Heidenhain 640.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4,000 mm (157.5 in) of X travel with 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y and 1,100 mm (43.3 in) of Z
Dual Drive Motors on X and Y, which Breton says need no dedicated cooling systems
Continuous C axis, so no unwinding on long 5-axis toolpaths
Optional rotary tables that can be integrated in the base frame
Tool stores of various types, compatible with the tool changer in the column

Limitations

The workbench is printed as 2,000 mm (78.7 in) by 1,000 mm (39.4 in), the same as on the short version; confirm it
No spindle, taper or A axis rows in the version table
Z rapid of 40 m/min (1,575 ipm) is slower than X and Y
No machine weight or footprint is published

Best For

Automotive moulds and dies up to 4,000 mm (157.5 in) long Lay-up tools and structural parts for aerospace Long steel weldments that need roughing and finishing in one set-up Cylindrical parts, with an optional rotary table

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How long is the X axis of the Breton Matrix E2 1100 K40?

4,000 mm (157.5 in). Y is 2,500 mm (98.4 in) and Z is 1,100 mm (43.3 in). The version table has two columns, and this is the longer one.

02 What table does the Matrix E2 1100 K40 have?

The version table prints workbench dimensions of 2,000 mm (78.7 in) in length and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in width. That is the same value as the Breton Matrix E2 1100 K25 column, which has 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of X, so it is worth confirming with Breton for the long machine.

03 Is the C axis of the Matrix E2 1100 K40 continuous?

Yes. The C axis travel row reads continuous, and the rapid speed is 30 rpm. On swarf cuts around a part or spiral finishing of a core, the head does not have to stop and unwind.

04 What materials is the Matrix E2 1100 K40 built for?

Breton names steel, lightweight alloys and special composites for hi-feed roughing, semi-finishing and finishing of medium-large workpieces. The page's material list also includes super alloys.
