CHIRON FZ08K S MAGNUM VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The CHIRON FZ08K S Magnum is a 5-axis high-speed vertical machining center delivering up to 7 kW spindle power with maximum speeds of 30,000 RPM, utilizing an HSK A40 taper tool holder. It features a 40-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) with rapid tool change times (~0.6 seconds) and a chip-to-chip time of approximately 2.2 seconds. The machine provides travel capacities of 17.71" (X-axis), 10.62" (Y-axis), and 11" (Z-axis), supporting maximum tool dimensions of 1.9" diameter (up to 3.94" if adjacent magazine positions are free), 6.3" tool length, and tool weights up to 1.5 lbs. It excels in machining 1060 steel with drilling capacity up to 0.63" and milling at 3.65 cubic inches per minute. The spindle incorporates 1.57" bearing diameters and delivers a clamping force of 1012 lbf for robust tool holding. Axis accelerations are 23 ft/s² on X and Y and 33 ft/s² on Z, with thrust forces up to 450 lbf (X/Y) and 675 lbf (Z). Rapid traverse rates reach 2953 ipm across all axes, ensuring high throughput. The fixed table surface supports loads up to 331 lbs, while the entire machine weighs 5,292 lbs (approximate shipping weight 7,055 lbs). Additional features include a high-speed plus drive power maxing at 5 HP with 6 ft-lb torque, and a spindle reach between 6.7" and 17.7" from nose to table surface, offering flexible work envelope configurations optimized for precision and productivity in complex multi-axis machining tasks. The control system is typically FANUC 18i-MB5, supporting advanced 5-axis simultaneous operations.
