NESTING Series
Compact Series of 3-axis cnc centers for machining large plates in aluminium and plastic materials.
NESTING is the Belotti Series ideal for obtaining small pieces from the processing of large aluminium and technical plastic panels, up to 50 mm thick.
Description
The NESTING Series is Belotti’s automated and highly flexible technological solution, developed to meet the demands of multiple industrial sectors: packaging, mechanical industry, checking fixtures, automotive and aerospace.
The possibility of configurations with a minimum footprint, combined with the high dynamism of the milling head, guarantee maximum quality of the machined surfaces, high productivity and optimization of the material used.
The Belotti NESTING centers have been designed to be able to operate in unattended mode during the entire processing cycle time, allowing a significant reduction in operator-cost and a high return on investment (ROI).
The compact and monolithic structure, the ease of programming thanks to the CAD / CNC plug-in, the aluminium suction table with MDF panel and vacuum locking system and the suction system with electronic adjustment of the hood ensure an optimization of the installation and processing, energy consumption and cleaning of the working environment.
We are available to provide further information and respond to your requests.

Accessories
Aluminium vacuum table with MDF panel
Aluminium table on which MDF panels are screwed, especially designed for machining of aluminium plates.
The table is divided into 12 areas, with dimensions to be defined, that can be automatically managed by the CNC. It is equipped with vacuum electrovalves and preset vacuometers to check the minimum vacuum level on the part for safe clamping.
In case mechanical clamping is needed, the MDF panel can be removed.
Upon request, it will be possible to provide multiple rapid connections for vacuum clamping.

Electronic suction hood for 3-axis head
Scraps suction hood used with 3-axis machining, electronically controlled.
In a range of 180 mm the electronic hood automatically adjusts its extension according to the real distance from the part.
The hood automatically retracts during the tool changer.
The dust suction hood performance may vary according to the part geometry, to the material and to the machining strategy.

Vertical aluminium table
Especially recommended for machining on the side of the plate.
Positioned on the front of the table, it helps to centre and clamp the plates for milling, drilling and threading operations.

Minimal lubrication system through the spindle
Centralized grease system, complete with pressure control and minimum level in the tank, which provides for the automatic lubrication of the moving parts. Lubrication is managed by NC in fully automatic mode and allows an extension of the life of the mechanical parts.
