Precision and dynamics with the CHIRON FZ16 S five axis and DZ16 W

When CHIRON developed the FZ16 and DZ16, the focus was on current customer requirements - in particular, precision, dynamics and a high surface quality for increasingly complex workpieces. Designs incorporating a moving gantry are completely new for CHIRON. The moving gantry significantly increases rigidity, enabling far greater levels of precision in machining. The single-spindle FZ16 S five axis and the double-spindle DZ16 W machining centers are available from the market launch. Customers with special accuracy-related requirements for five-axis machining will find in the FZ16 S five axis a machine that impresses with top levels of dynamics and rigidity and therefore guarantees high productivity. If large quantities are involved, the DZ16 W produces complex parts with a precision that has never been seen before. Additional benefits in terms of productivity and flexibility are provided by the fact that the machining centers can be equipped with up to 162 tools without taking up any more floor space. Furthermore, customers have a wide range of options to choose from; for example, a chip conveyor and coolant system can be fitted either to the rear or the left-hand side of the centers.

STAMA MT 733 two for complete machining
The new 733 series from STAMA allows all six sides of a workpiece to be machined on a single five-axis center. The machining center's gantry design lends it optimized static, dynamic and thermal rigidity. This offers advantages when machining complex or difficult-to-machine workpieces, which can now be milled and turned with particularly high levels of accuracy using the MT 733. The high process stability means that even the very first part to be produced is always correctly dimensioned, both when manufacturing single items and in series production. An optional feature of the new series is active temperature control for linear guides, chip channels and the whole machine structure. This allows for even higher precision in combined milling/turning machining. An integrated automation system facilitates the supply and removal of bar stock and/or chuck parts to and from the machine. Customers can choose from four MT 733 models in total, and can customize their machining centers to suit their specific requirements.
