2007 CHIRON FZ08S VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2007 Chiron FZ08S is a 3-axis CNC vertical machining center from Chiron Group SE of Tuttlingen, Germany, representing the standard single-spindle variant of the FZ08 platform. The traveling-column design enables extremely high rapid traverse rates and short non-cut times characteristic of Chiron's high-speed machining philosophy. The HSK-A40 spindle delivers approximately 7 to 8 kW (9.4 to 10.7 HP) and reaches a maximum speed of 15,000 to 30,000 RPM depending on spindle specification, supporting high-speed finishing and productive roughing in aluminum and non-ferrous alloys. Axis travels are 450 mm (17.7 inches) in X, 270 mm (10.6 inches) in Y, and 310 mm (12.2 inches) in Z, with the work table measuring approximately 770 x 290 mm (30.3 x 11.4 inches). Control is provided by the Fanuc 21i-M CNC system. Overall machine dimensions are approximately 90.9 x 55.3 x 96.3 inches (2,308 x 1,405 x 2,447 mm) and the machine weighs approximately 7,496 lbs (3,400 kg). An optional rotary table enables 4th- and 5th-axis configurations for multi-sided part completion. The FZ08S is widely deployed in automotive subcontract, electronics enclosure, and aerospace precision parts manufacturing, where short cycle times and high spindle speed are primary requirements.
