Highlights
The machine features a flexible modular construction with an ergonomic and modern machine design and is available in both 4-axis and full 5-axis configurations. High-performance motor spindle technology, rigid linear roller guides and directly driven ball screws provide exceptional machining precision, smooth operation and dynamic performance.
The machine incorporates a rotating nut ballscrew system on the X-axis, integrated rotary table and B-axis torque motors for highly accurate multi-axis machining operations. Advanced Siemens Sinumerik ONE or Heidenhain TNC 640 control systems provide cutting-edge CNC functionality alongside optional EMCONNECT digital production integration.
Tool Magazine
The tool magazine system is available in multiple configurations including turret-mounted and alongside-column arrangements for 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis machine versions. The turret configuration uses dual-arm grippers for rapid tool changes with up to 40 tool stations as standard and optional 80-position systems.
The alongside-column magazine configuration enables fast and secure tool changing throughout the full X-axis travel and at the extreme Y and Z-axis positions. Tool capacities up to 120 positions are available, with optional external tool tower systems for expanded tooling flexibility.
Milling Spindle
The liquid-cooled motor spindle delivers outstanding performance with spindle speeds up to 15000 rpm, power outputs up to 46 kW and torque up to 170 Nm. An optional 18000 rpm HSK A63 spindle configuration is available for high-speed machining applications.
Z-Axis Travel
The Z-axis uses a dual ball screw and dual motor master-slave drive configuration to achieve highly precise rapid traverse movement at speeds up to 40 m/min while maintaining stability and positioning accuracy despite the axis mass.
Y-Axis
The ram-style Y-axis design uses extended guide ways to maximise rigidity and machining stability. High positioning accuracy is achieved through a direct-driven screw system.
Machine Frame
The machine bed is manufactured from high-quality welded steel to provide exceptional rigidity, vibration damping and long-term machining stability.
X-Axis
The X-axis uses a rotating nut ballscrew system with fixed screw technology. Standard linear scales provide highly accurate positioning and repeatability during machining operations.
Control Unit
The ergonomic operator panel is fully adjustable and can travel, rotate and reposition toward the work area, providing excellent accessibility and ideal working conditions for machine operators.
B-Axis
The B-axis uses direct torque motor technology to deliver highly dynamic movement and precise positioning throughout a pivoting range of +/-120°.
Overall Dimensions & Work Space
The machine combines a spacious machining envelope with a rigid and accessible machine structure suitable for large workpieces and advanced multi-axis machining applications.
Options & Accessories
Measurement System
Optional tool and workpiece measuring systems reduce setup times and improve machining precision. Workpiece measurement is performed using radio probe technology for highly accurate in-machine inspection.
Large Work Area Configuration
The spacious machining area allows extensive customisation options including pendulum operation partitions, rotary tables, tailstocks and additional workholding systems.
Band Filter System with High-Pressure Coolant Pumps
Coolant pressures of 25, 40, 60 or 80 bar can be configured to optimise the performance of coolant-fed drilling and milling tools during demanding machining operations.
Software & Control
Sinumerik ONE with Operate
The Siemens Sinumerik ONE CNC system combines advanced machining performance with smart manufacturing integration, digital twin technology and highly efficient networking capabilities for modern production environments.
