AXILE

AXILE designs and builds agile and smart 5-axis vertical machining centres, mill/turn and large bed double-gantry machining centres with leading digital automation solutions at the heart of the technology. As ETG’s latest technology partner, manufacturers of complex parts and components in the UK and Ireland can embrace a new level of Industry 4.0 technology while creating a sustainable operating business model by introducing the AXILE brand to the shop floor.

As a machine tool manufacturer, AXILE believes that manufacturers should not have to choose between high-speed and high-performance machining, or worry about operating smartly and sustainably in the process – a philosophy that resonates with ETG and its customers. By combining the sheer agility of the new 5-axis and mill/turn machining technology and digitalized intelligent automation, AXILE has created an all-new approach for the future of machining.

AXILE has a dedicated team of industry experts that bring together ultra-high material removal rates and pinpoint precision within each AXILE 5-axis machine. This ensures 24/7 production and reliability through the AXILE proprietary ART™ intelligent monitoring system based on hardware and software technology.

With breakthrough design concepts and advanced proprietary technologies, the AXILE brand can perfectly serve the UK’s highly sophisticated manufacturers of complex parts and components for applications in aerospace, mould and die, medical and general job shops.

The future of manufacturing depends on optimised, intelligent production. To gain an edge over the competition, embracing smart manufacturing is the best way to stay ahead of the curve. To deliver agile smart machining, and that all-important competitive edge, AXILE has created ART™. The ART™ Monitoring System delivers agile smart machining that enables 24/7 automated production and allows operators and key decision makers to digitally manage processes by monitoring all wear components, energy consumption and fluids such as lubricant and coolant, supplying real-time status updates on the machine and its components.

AXILE’s ART™ empowers manufacturers to make informed decisions, optimising operations and greatly improving production efficiency. ART™ gives manufacturers the reassurance required to embrace automation solutions, by delivering vital oversight through total operational transparency. The ART™ Interface is available with remote access and usable via any portable devices such as laptop, tablets and mobile phones. To reduce costs and avoid waste, ART™ even includes an Energy Management application that delivers round-the-clock monitoring of each machine’s energy consumption and usage conditions, providing the data required to optimise energy efficiency. In addition, ART™ incorporates a Reliability Maintenance function that delivers total transparency for machines and components, ensuring sustained optimal performance. Sensors within the machine identify required repairs and pre-empt potential failures, eliminating unexpected downtime.
