08 series CHIRON

Minimum tolerances of a few μm and top surface quality: You can meet these requirements with the versatile machining centers of the 08 Series. All models stand for high performance in a compact form. They are quick to set up, easy to operate, very stable, highly dynamic, and low-maintenance. Their modular design makes it possible to configure each basic machine to an individual solution that is perfectly tailored to your manufacturing needs.

08 Series machining centers are available with a single or double spindle, for 5-axis simultaneous machining, with workpiece changing during machine operation for large quantities, and as a mill-turning machine for multi-functional machining from the bar. In addition, the precision⁺ designation includes all machine types with linear direct drive as further variants for the special requirements of medical and precision technology.
