CHIRON FZ 18 S MAGNUM vertical machining centre

CHIRON FZ 18 S MAGNUM vertical machining centre, built in 1997 in Germany, is designed for precision workpiece machining. Machining is performed on a working table with dimensions (L x W) 1150 x 460 mm, in three axes (X,Y,Z) with feeds of 750 mm (X axis), 400 mm (Y axis) and 425 mm (Z axis). In the past, the milling centre has been used for machining structural steel, stainless steel and aluminium.

The machine’s construction is made of high quality steel, guarantees excellent heavy-duty stability, high reliability and a long service life. The machining centre spindle, rotating at a speed of 7200 rpm equipped with an SK 40 taper, ensures high precision machining and a significant reduction in production time.

Full control over every aspect of machining and operation of the milling machine is provided by an installed SIEMENS SINUMERIK 810M CNC controller with a large and easy-to-use control panel. The CNC milling machine is equipped with original tool holders, a computer for programme transmission and a tool magazine able to hold 20 tools. Additional Bison toolholders and vices can be purchased at an additional cost. The total weight of the CNC milling machine is 5500 kg.
