• Work efficiency: The 7.5 kW spindle with speeds up to 8000 rpm (option 10,000 rpm) and servo drives deliver dynamic machining and shorter cycle times.
• Operator safety: The hermetically sealed working chamber protects against dust and chips, ensuring a safe and clean work environment.
• Configuration flexibility: Expandable with advanced CNC control systems (Siemens 828D, Fanuc Oi-TF) and options such as a 4th axis or through-spindle coolant for tailored functionality.

Construction and Technology of the MILL 1040 Machining Centre

The MILL 1040 milling centre for metalworking is designed for maximum durability and precision under demanding industrial conditions. Key components include:

• Heavy cast-iron body: Ensures excellent stability and vibration reduction, crucial for machining hard materials.
• Linear guides: High-quality guides in the X, Y, and Z axes provide smooth movement and precision with a rapid feed of 24 m/min.
• BT40 spindle: With 7.5 kW of power and speeds up to 8000 rpm (option 10,000 rpm), it ensures efficient cutting performance.
• Ball screws: Precision screws on all three axes ensure high accuracy and repeatability of movement.
• Automatic lubrication system: Minimises wear and extends the machine’s lifespan.
• Tool magazine: A 16-position magazine (optional 24-position) allows quick tool changes in approximately 8 seconds.

Precision and Work Efficiency

The CNC Machining Centre MILL 1040 guarantees high accuracy thanks to advanced technological solutions. The positioning accuracy (0.02 mm) and rapid feed rate (24 m/min for X and Y axes, 20 m/min for Z) allow for efficient machining of complex parts. Advanced control systems such as Siemens Sinumerik or Fanuc Oi-TF optimise tool paths, reducing production time and eliminating errors.
