CHIRON 526 SINGLE/TWIN VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machine features a robust table/work support system with a standard table size of 106.3 x 18.3 inches, expandable to 157 x 18.3 inches for larger workpieces, and a maximum workpiece weight capacity of 880 lbs. The support includes a standard index table and an optional rotary table for enhanced versatility. The machine is equipped with two vertical spindles, each featuring a CAT 40 / ISO 40 taper, with an optional HSK 63 taper for improved rigidity and performance. The spindles deliver a top speed of 10,500 RPM, with an optional upgrade to 12,000 RPM, and a 30-minute horsepower rating of 49 HP. Tooling is managed by a chain-type automatic tool changer (ATC) with a standard capacity of 42 tools, expandable to 60 tools, and a rapid tool change chip time of 2.4 seconds. The machine operates on four axes (X, Y, Z, B), providing extensive travel ranges: X-axis up to 133.86 inches, Y-axis 15.7 inches, Z-axis 14.17 inches, and B-axis rotation up to 90 degrees. Maximum feed rates and rapid traverse speeds are set at 2,358 inches per minute across all axes, ensuring efficient and precise machining operations. This configuration supports a wide range of applications, from complex part production to high-volume manufacturing, making it suitable for industries requiring high accuracy and productivity.
