Chiron SERIES 16 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This vertical machining center features dual vertical main spindles with HSK 100A taper, capable of speeds up to 20,000 RPM with an optional top speed of 12,500 RPM, providing high-speed, precision machining. The tool carrier is an automatic tool changer (ATC) supporting up to 162 tools, with an optional capacity of 187 tools, enabling efficient multi-tool operations with rapid tool change times of 0.90 seconds (tool-to-tool) and 1.70 seconds (chip-to-chip). The machine provides 3 axes of motion (X, Y, Z) with travels of 25.980" in X and Y, and 15.750" in Z, suitable for complex part machining. Optional features include table support via index or rotary tables and a pallet changer with up to six pallets, increasing automation and throughput. The spindle uses a precision HSK 100A taper system known for excellent rigidity and repeatability, delivering consistent tool holding and superior surface finishes. Rapid traverse rates and high feed speeds further enhance productivity. This setup is ideal for high-volume, high-precision milling and turning tasks in industries requiring advanced multi-spindle machining capabilities with extensive tooling options and automated tool management. The machine is configurable for diverse manufacturing environments with optional rotary tables and pallet changers to optimize workflow and material handling.
