Red Bull continues to win

2013 Formula 1 Constructors’ and Drivers’ World Championship: another title for Red Bull team and Sebastian Vettel.




The racing cars of the Austrian team mount components produced also by Breton MATRIX 5-axis vertical machining centres.




Breton is presently installing a new MATRIX 1300 K30 machining centre alongside of the three existing MATRIX:
Breton Matrix 1300 K30
Breton Matrix 1300 K30
Breton Matrix 1300 K30

Red Bull racing cars also mount OZ wheel rims produced by Breton XCEEDER vertical machining centre.

Ultrix with change pallet

Good morning,
Today I'd like to talk about the ideal solution that all fabrication shops should adopt.
Breton ULTRIX 1000/RT/HD is a high-speed, vertical, multi-function machining centre with mobile bridge and 5 interpolated axes to perform milling, turning and grinding operations on steel, superalloys and aluminium components; therefore, the machine enables to turn pieces from rough-cut into finished in a single setup.


Automatic pallet change
Thanks to the pallet change, there's no need to stop the machine since tooling is carried out while it is working.
Breton pallet-changing system handles automatically two or five pallets with a diameter of 1.000 mm (additional pallets are available).

The pallet-changing system mainly consists of:
– CNC controlled pallet change with single- or double-forked pick-up tongs
– precise piece loading/unloading station with manual rotation and indexing of the loading position
– hydraulic device for pallet centring and clamping on the machine by means of frontal Hirth couplings
– nr. 2/5 standard steel pallets with a diameter of 1.000 mm, with 4 manual, independent or self-centring claws, complete with lock and locating device on the machine table, with 22 mm T-slots for fixing the equipment
– maximum load capacity on the pallet: 1.000 kg

– boxed-in safety shields with wide inspection ports and doors for access to both the loading/unloading system and the machine for setup and inspection of the piece during machining, with pallet-changing system switched on the "Recovery" mode; an electric lock opens and locks manually both doors
– the machine safety guards are provided with automatic opening for the pallet change.

Well, that’s all for today.

NEW Matrix JET

A competitive solution
High-speed precision machining centre for milling complex three-dimensional work-pieces which require accurate machining and continuous axis interpolation. MATRIX JET 1000 is the ideal solution to satisfy production requirements across a multitude of industrial applications from aerospace industry to automotive, die-manufacturing and design.     

Wide choice of configurations for customized performances
Various solutions for the best machine configuration to satisfy each need:
· Standard model with one working area
· Model with two working areas for pendular machining

Easy access and perfect visibility
Great accessibility and visibility of the working area thanks to the machine structure with moving bridge and wide lateral doors that make the work-piece loading easier.


Precision, Dynamics and Flexibility when machining at high speed with 5 continuous axes
In order to guarantee high performance, the new MATRIX JET 1000 is built on a heavy-duty cast iron bedplate which acts as a support for the bridge sliding. Columns consist of a sandwich structure made of arc-welded and stabilized steel.

Monitoring and in-process inspections
MATRIX JET 1000 can be supplied with a laser tool presetter and a radio frequency probe for acquiring work-piece size and coordinates.

A superior head
The electrospindles offer always the best machining performance thanks to the cast-iron fork designed head which offers structural rigidity with efficient vibration damping properties. The highest-performance models are provided with Direct Drive motorized heads.

High-speed, Performance and Precision
The carriage and beam travel on properly dimensioned recirculating roller guideways ensure machining precision and stability. Axes are moved by a ground ball screw and double preloaded ball nut assembly. Maximum axis precision is achieved thanks to the micrometric technology applied. Axes are powered by digital drives and ultimate generation brushless servomotors.

Wide choice of electrospindles
The MATRIX JET 1000 machining centre can be supplied with a wide range of electrospindles depending on the type of material to be machined. Machining precision is always guaranteed by the thermal stabilising system which consists of a special software designed and developed to compensate natural thermal expansion in the electrospindles when machining conditions vary.

The ideal cooling system
Depending on the type of machining, the tool cooling system can use a coolant liquid which flows inside and outside the spindle (60 L/min) with fixed or variable (up to 70 bar) internal pressure, or incorporate a spray mist system, or simply use compressed air.
