MIKRON GX255P VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machine features an X-axis travel of 41.33", Y-axis travel of 20.86", and Z-axis travel of 23.62", providing substantial work envelope capacity suitable for diverse machining tasks. It is equipped with a spindle capable of 14,000 RPM, paired with a CAT 40 taper interface, a robust and industry-standard tool holder taper known for its secure and precise tool positioning in milling spindles. The CAT 40 taper conforms to ASME B5.50 standards, ensuring high tensile strength (core strength at least 950 N/mm²) and tight tolerance quality (AT3), suitable for spindle speeds up to 25,000 RPM. The tool magazine supports up to 30 tools with Automatic Tool Change (ATC) capability, enabling efficient multi-tool operations and reduced downtime. Control is managed via a Heidenhain TNC62 system, a precision CNC controller widely recognized for its advanced interpolation and machining cycle functions, enhancing the machine’s versatility and precision. This combination of large travel ranges, a high-speed spindle with a durable CAT 40 taper, sizable ATC, and sophisticated Heidenhain control positions this machine as a capable option for precision milling, prototyping, and production environments requiring reliable, high-speed machining with flexible tooling options.
