CHIRON DZ12 W VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The CHIRON DZ12 W Vertical Machining Center is a high-performance double-spindle vertical machining center engineered for precision and productivity. It features a robust X-axis travel of 21.65 inches, Y and Z-axis travels of 15.748 inches, and delivers 53.42 HP spindle power with speeds up to 40,000 RPM via a CAT 40 spindle taper. Equipped with two 32-position automatic tool changers and a 5th axis trunnion table, it enables complex 5-axis simultaneous machining operations with enhanced versatility. Control is provided by the advanced FANUC 31i B5 CNC system, supporting high-speed, high-accuracy multi-axis machining with integrated safety functions and 3D collision prevention. The machine is integrated into the UNO automation cell with a FANUC LR Mate 200iD 6-axis robot, allowing automated loading/unloading and extended unattended operation. Additional features include the Blum probe package for in-process measurement, Chiron spindle monitoring for real-time spindle condition tracking, and the MCU tool inspection system for tool management. The chip conveyor ensures efficient chip removal, and an electrical cabinet cooler maintains thermal stability during extended machining cycles. The NC rotary table CRT 200 expands workpiece positioning flexibility, enhancing multi-sided machining capabilities. The machine’s mineral-cast bed and vertical traveling column offer high rigidity, thermal stability, and precision. Overall, the DZ12 W is optimized for industries requiring high throughput, precision, and flexibility, such as automotive, aerospace, and medical manufacturing.
