CHIRON MT 838 TWIN VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This CNC vertical machining center features a powerful 51 HP main spindle capable of reaching speeds up to 15,000 RPM, supporting high-efficiency turning operations. It accommodates a maximum turning diameter of 21.650 inches and a maximum turning length of 15.750 inches, with a large 19.690-inch spindle chuck diameter for securing sizable workpieces. The machine operates across five axes, enabling complex multi-directional machining with X, Y, and Z axis travels of 31.500, 21.650, and 21.650 inches respectively, providing substantial working envelope flexibility. It utilizes an HSK 100 tool carrier system equipped with an automatic tool changer holding up to 48 tools, facilitating rapid tool changes and extended uninterrupted machining. The vertical machining center supports simultaneous operation of two cutting tools for enhanced productivity and precision. The maximum feed rate and rapid traverse speed both reach 2,756 inches per minute (ipm), ensuring fast, precise tool positioning and material removal. The inclusion of index increment control allows for precise tool orientation, optimizing accuracy in multi-faceted and angled machining tasks. This configuration makes the vertical machining center highly suitable for complex part geometries and high-volume production with tight tolerances, benefiting industries requiring exacting precision such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing. Overall, the machine combines robust spindle power, extensive axis travel, and an advanced tool management system, delivering versatility, speed, and precision in CNC turning processes.
