CHIRON MT 734 HORIZONTAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The CHIRON MT 734 is a versatile 4-axis horizontal machining center designed for complex multi-axis work combining milling and turning operations. Equipped with a single main spindle capable of turning workpieces up to 4.000" in diameter with a maximum length of 12.500", the machine accommodates a 6.000" chuck diameter and 4.000" bar capacity. The main spindle operates at 4,200 RPM with 57 HP, providing substantial cutting power for production work. An auxiliary rotary tool spindle operates at 12,000 RPM with 67 HP, enabling high-speed finishing and precision operations. The machine features an automatic tool changer (ATC) with capacity for up to 64 turning tools and 64 rotary tools, allowing extended production runs with minimal changeovers. With four controlled axes, the MT 734 delivers impressive rapid traverse rates of 2,358 ipm across all linear axes (X: 31.400", Y: 18.500", Z: 20.070"), enabling quick positioning and reduced cycle times. This configuration allows complex workpieces to be precisely milled and turned on multiple sides in two clamping positions, accommodating bar stock, chucked workpieces, and universal setups. The machine's large tool magazine, optimal operator ergonomics, and compact footprint relative to working capacity make it ideal for both single-part manufacturing and small to medium-series production, particularly for components requiring integrated milling and turning operations with minimal setup time.
