Breton Ultrix E2

Q: How much does the Breton Ultrix E2 cost?

The price estimate for the Breton Ultrix E2 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-ultrix-e2#price; the request is passed to Breton or an authorised dealer.

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the Breton Ultrix E2 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 Breton Ultrix E2 is the smallest of Breton's trunnion-table machining centres for combined milling and turning. It is a 5-axis vertical machine on a gantry architecture with travels of 1,150 mm (45.3 in) in X, 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) in Z, and a rotary table 1,250 mm (49.2 in) in diameter that carries 1,500 kg (3,307 lb).

Turning is done on that table. Its speed in S6 is 500 rpm, and the table lists a maximum torque in S6 of 2,700 Nm (1,991.5 lb-ft) in the same block of rows, without stating which drive the figure belongs to. The C axis is unlimited and the A axis tilts from -30° to 120°, so a disc or casing can be turned flat, then tipped past vertical for radial holes and scallops.

Breton adds a feature of its own for the turning side: a vertical boring bar fixed rigidly to the ram, position-controlled, with hydraulic brakes that lock it anywhere in its stroke. On the E2 the turning bar stroke is 225 mm (8.9 in), half that of the larger versions, and the tool interface is Capto C8.

Of the three Ultrix sizes this one is the quick one. Rapids are 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) in X and Y, and the rotary axes run at 50 rpm in A and 100 rpm in C. The Breton Ultrix E3 lists 50 m/min (1,969 ipm), 30 rpm and 60 rpm.

The base frame is Metalquartz, Breton's own material. No milling spindle power or speed is given in the version table.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Milling and turning in one clamping on a trunnion table of 1,250 mm (49.2 in) diameter
Rotary table speed of 500 rpm in S6 with an unlimited C axis
Fastest Ultrix: 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) in X and Y, 50 rpm in A and 100 rpm in C
Dedicated vertical boring bar with position control and hydraulic brakes
Metalquartz base frame for stiffness and stability

Limitations

Table payload is 1,500 kg (3,307 lb), against 2,500 kg (5,511 lb) on the Breton Ultrix E3
Turning bar stroke is 225 mm (8.9 in), which limits the depth of internal turning
A axis tilts from -30° to 120°, not symmetrically
No milling spindle power, torque or speed in the version table

Best For

Aero engine discs, rings and casings up to the 1,250 mm (49.2 in) table Parts that need turned diameters and 5-axis milled features in one set-up Titanium and superalloy components within a 1,500 kg (3,307 lb) payload Gear blanks and turbine parts of medium size

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size of part fits the Breton Ultrix E2?

The rotary table is 1,250 mm (49.2 in) in diameter with a payload of 1,500 kg (3,307 lb). Linear travels are 1,150 mm (45.3 in) in X, 1,000 mm (39.4 in) in Y and 700 mm (27.6 in) in Z. The page does not publish a maximum swing for this version.

02 How does the Ultrix E2 turn a part?

The trunnion table doubles as the turning spindle, with a listed speed of 500 rpm in S6 and an unlimited C axis. Turning tools are carried by a vertical boring bar rigidly connected to the ram, which has a stroke of 225 mm (8.9 in) on this version and takes Capto C8 tooling.

03 What is the difference between the Ultrix E2 and the Ultrix E3?

The Breton Ultrix E3 is larger and carries more: 1,700 mm (66.9 in) of X, 1,600 mm (63.0 in) of Y, 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of Z and a 2,500 kg (5,511 lb) payload. The E2 is faster, with 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) rapids in X and Y and a C axis at 100 rpm.

04 What is the base of the Ultrix E2 made of?

Breton makes the base frame of Metalquartz, which the page lists as a Breton patent. The maker's stated purpose is maximum stiffness and stability, together with easy and safe access to the machine for the operator.
