+GF+ MIKRON MILL E 500U VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

The +GF+ Mikron MILL E 500U is a precise, high-efficiency 5-axis vertical machining center featuring a robust 18.6 kW spindle motor with speeds up to 12,000 RPM and an ISO40 taper for versatile tooling compatibility. Its work envelope includes X, Y, and Z travels of approximately 19.69" x 17.71" x 15.75" on a 19.69" x 19.69" T-slot table capable of supporting up to 661 lbs. The machine supports full 5-axis simultaneous machining with rotary and tilting table axes providing swiveling from -65° to +120° and 360° rotation. Equipped with a 30-position automatic tool changer, it ensures flexible and efficient tool management. The center integrates the advanced Heidenhain iTNC 530 CNC control, which offers features like Tool Center Point Management (TCPM), optimized contour milling, and kinematics accuracy optimization (KinematicsOpt), enhancing motion control and surface finish quality. It includes a Renishaw TS-27R 3D touch probe and an infrared OMP40 touch probe for precise workpiece setup and in-process measurement. Additional features encompass dual compressed air through spindle systems for chip evacuation, a Hem rotary tilting table with linear glass scales for high positional accuracy, and an automated conveyor lift-up chip removal system. The machine’s dimensions are approximately 105" wide by 128" deep and 132" in height, weighing 13,294 lbs. Power demands are 400 V, 3-phase with 100 psi air at 4 scfm. Designed for demanding precision milling tasks, this machining center is ideal for complex aerospace, mold, and high-precision manufacturing applications requiring extended tool capacity, dynamic cutting, and reliable process stability.
