GiGa Machines
Leading technology in the market
The first to develop machining technology for GiGa casting parts
Vigel has been the first company developing technology to machine GiGa Casting parts, today with over 100 machines already installed and in production Vigel is leading in this applications.
The 1600 Series are the reference for the complete machining of 1-Cast Underbody FR&RR and Battery Trays in the EV industry, 1600 Series now redefine machining solutions for Subframes and Structural parts in the automotive industry.
Fully 6 independent in all axes allows to approach complex part design, minimizing clamping positions and maximizing quality with important achievements also in the Aerospace industry.
6 Axes fully independent
Multispindle technology: drastically reduces cycle time on complex parts
Twin spindles simultaneous machining
Extremely flexible: easy to retool for new applications
In-house built spindles & spindle heads: designed and manufactured by Vigel
Complete turnkey solutions
Machine's Structure
Thanks to the box-in-box modular structure design, the Bi Series provides robustness and accuracy at extremely high operating speeds, making it ideal for both light and heavy-duty applications. Vigel’s Bi Series can be equipped with linear motors on all axes for non-ferrous applications, as well as with ball screws on the Z-axis for ferrous material machining.
All auxiliaries are integrated into the machine, allowing for fast installation and easy relocation. All maintenance areas offer optimal accessibility and are ergonomically designed. Our Bi Series machines are designed to minimize the footprint while offering the largest available machining envelope to handle Giga and Mega part dimensions.
Multi-Spindle Technology
Vigel multi-spindle technologies are synonymous with lower investment cost per part and higher productivity. The Vigel Bi Series comes as standard with twin-spindle technology. At identical production levels, our twin-spindle configuration requires significantly less space than a comparable number of single-spindle machining centers, along with shorter production time, lower energy consumption, and reduced automation investment.
The Bi Series is also available in a single-spindle configuration. Vigel designs and builds its own Spindles and Spindle Heads since decades keeping control on a key item of our technology, Bi Series are available with both HSK63 and HSK100.
Working Area
The 1600 Series is designed to maximize the working area and meet the demands of mega and giga parts. Its 6-axis configuration allows for efficient machining of complex components and complete machining in 1 maximum 2 set ups. The two spindles operate independently and perform simultaneous operations, either mirroring each other or executing different tasks at the same time. This significantly reduces cycle time and increases overall efficiency.
Tool Change/ Tool Magazine
All Vigel machining centers are equipped with a drum-type magazine, designed and built by Vigel. The Bi Series utilizes two drum-type tool magazines. Different configurations allow meeting various needs in terms of capacity while maintaining the same modular structure. All Vigel Bi Series machines use an extremely fast direct tool change.
Environmentally Compatible Products
Vigel recognizes the importance of the environment. Today, technology must incorporate a deep awareness of environmental concerns. Following this path, Vigel keeps investing in making its products environmentally compatible. Our multi-spindle technology alone reduces energy costs by over 35% at equal production levels compared with single spindle machines.
