MIKRON HEM 500U VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

This high-performance CNC vertical machining center features an X-axis travel of 19.69", Y-axis travel of 17.72", and Z-axis travel of 15.75", providing ample workspace for complex machining tasks. The spindle operates at speeds up to 12,000 RPM and is equipped with a CAT 40 taper for secure tool holding and high rigidity. A 30-tool automatic tool changer (ATC) ensures efficient tool management and minimizes downtime during production runs. The machine is controlled by the advanced Heidenhain iTNC 530 CNC system, known for its intuitive interface, adaptive feed control, and robust programming capabilities, supporting both manual and automated operations. Integrated chip removal is facilitated by a chip conveyor, maintaining a clean work environment and reducing manual cleaning requirements. The machine is 5th axis ready and includes a 5th axis trunnion table, enabling versatile multi-axis machining for intricate geometries and complex part features. A standard coolant system ensures optimal tool life and surface finish by effectively managing heat during machining. The system is equipped with 5-axis (3+2) probing, allowing for precise part and tool measurement, automated setup, and improved accuracy. This configuration makes the machine ideal for high-precision applications in aerospace, mold and die making, and general precision engineering, delivering consistent repeatability, accuracy, and surface quality.
