2011 CHIRON FZ12L VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The 2011 Chiron FZ12L is a 3- to 4-axis CNC vertical machining center from Chiron Group SE of Tuttlingen, Germany, representing the long-table variant of the Series 12 platform, configured with an extended X-axis travel for production of longer workpieces and multi-fixture setups. The L designation indicates a longer table and extended X stroke relative to the standard FZ12, while retaining the same Series 12 spindle and control architecture. The HSK-A63 spindle operates at spindle speeds up to the Series 12 platform maximum, with Y-axis travel of approximately 400 mm (15.7 inches) and Z-axis travel of approximately 400 mm (15.7 inches) consistent with the Series 12 baseline. Control is provided by a Siemens or Fanuc CNC system appropriate to the production year. The FZ12L is suited for production of elongated parts, multi-fixture tombstone setups, and aerospace structural components requiring a longer work envelope than the standard FZ12 provides. Exact X-axis travel, table dimensions, overall machine dimensions, spindle power, and machine weight were not confirmed from publicly available OEM documentation for this specific configuration and should be obtained from Chiron Group directly by serial number.
