CHIRON DZ12 S VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The CHIRON DZ12 S is a high-performance double-spindle vertical machining center engineered for rapid, precision production in demanding manufacturing environments. This compact five-axis system features simultaneous operation across all axes, enabling complete workpiece machining in single set-ups with exceptional surface quality. The machine delivers X, Y, and Z travel distances of 550mm, 400mm, and 400mm respectively, with a maximum spindle speed of 40,000 rpm and 53.6 hp power output. The 250mm spindle clearance accommodates versatile part geometries, while the 206-tool automatic tool changer with pick-up method capability supports rapid tool exchanges. The DZ12 S incorporates a 2-axis swivel rotary table (AC-kinematics) for efficient five-axis simultaneous machining, enabling manufacturers to achieve doubled productivity with minimal floor space requirements. Rapid feed rates reaching 75-75-60 m/min on XYZ axes combined with chip-to-chip times as fast as 2.2 seconds optimize cycle times for high-volume production. The machine features precision glass scales on all axes, high-rigidity mineral-cast machine bed, and water-cooled motor spindles ensuring thermal stability and accuracy. Designed with a vertical traveling column architecture and fully enclosed stainless steel covers, the DZ12 S delivers ideal chip flow and ergonomic access for operators. Its modular configuration supports customization with high-tech spindle systems, automation modules, and workpiece changers, making it ideal for automotive, aerospace, medical, and precision manufacturing applications.
