CHIRON FZ 12 MT VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

The CHIRON FZ 12 MT is a high-precision 5-axis vertical machining center designed for complex milling and turning operations. It features a main spindle with a maximum turning diameter of 2.560" and turning length of 3.940", accommodating bar diameters up to 2.560". The spindle supports high-speed machining with an HSK 63 tool carrier interface and a maximum tool capacity of 64 tools, enabling flexible tool changes during operation. The machine operates with five axes, providing X, Y, and Z travels of 21.650", 12.600", and 14.170" respectively, allowing for intricate part contouring and multi-directional machining. Equipped with rapid traverse rates and maximum feed rates up to 2,953 inches per minute, the FZ 12 MT delivers enhanced productivity and cycle times. Its compact design integrates advanced technology for simultaneous milling and turning, supporting single-tool simultaneous cutting to optimize machining precision. This model supports bar capacity and spindle configurations ideal for medium to small part manufacturing with high repetition and accuracy requirements. The machine’s robust construction includes a vertical traveling column and mineral-cast machine bed to ensure rigidity and thermal stability. The spindle offers powerful drive capabilities (typically up to 48 HP in similar models) with rapid acceleration, enabling high-speed precision machining. The FZ 12 MT is suited for industries requiring multi-axis flexibility and fine operational control such as aerospace, medical, and automotive sectors. Optional modules include coolant-through spindle, Renishaw probing systems, and automation features to further expand manufacturing capabilities.
