MILL 1040 Machining Centre – precision and reliability in CNC machining

MILL 1040 machining centre is an advanced vertical CNC machining centre designed for precise and efficient metalworking. Equipped with modern technologies and a robust construction, it ensures reliability and high-quality components across a wide range of industrial applications.

Main advantages of the MILL 1040 machining centre

MILL 1040 vertical machining centre combines advanced technology with a rigid construction, providing an advantage in demanding production processes. This machine is an ideal choice for companies seeking CNC machining centres that offer precision, efficiency and durability. Key benefits include:

• High machining precision: Thanks to top-quality linear guideways and precision ball screws, the machine achieves positioning accuracy of 0.006 mm, ideal for components with complex geometries.
• Structural stability: The massive cast iron body ensures excellent rigidity, minimising vibration even when machining components weighing up to 300 kg.
• Operational efficiency: A spindle with 7.5 kW power and speeds up to 8000 rpm (with 10,000 rpm option*) and servo drives ensures dynamic machining and reduced cycle times.
• Operator safety: The enclosed working chamber protects against dust and chips, creating a safe working environment.
• Configuration flexibility: The possibility of expansion with advanced control systems (Siemens 828D, Fanuc Oi-TF) and options such as a 4th axis or through-spindle coolant allows the machine to be tailored to specific requirements.

Construction and technology of the MILL 1040 machining centre

MILL 1040 metal milling centre has been designed for maximum durability and precision in demanding industrial conditions. Key components include:

• Massive cast iron body: Ensures excellent stability and vibration reduction, essential when machining high-hardness materials.
• Linear guideways: High-quality guideways in the X, Y and Z axes guarantee smooth movement and precision at rapid traverse of 24 m/min.
• BT40 spindle: With 7.5 kW power and speeds up to 8000 rpm (option* 10,000 rpm), ensures efficient cutting performance.
• Ball screws: Precision screws in three axes ensure high accuracy and repeatability of movement.
• Automatic lubrication system: Minimises component wear, extending machine service life.
• Tool magazine: 16-position magazine (with 24-position option*) enables quick tool changes in approximately 3 seconds.

Precision and performance

CNC machining centre MILL 1040 guarantees high precision thanks to advanced technological solutions. Positioning accuracy (0.006 mm) and rapid traverse (24 m/min for X and Y axes, 20 m/min for Z axis) enable efficient machining of components with complex geometries. Advanced control systems such as Siemens Sinumerik or Fanuc Oi-TF optimise tool paths, reducing production time and minimising errors.

Applications of the MILL 1040 vertical machining centre

Vertical machining centres such as MILL 1040 are used across many industrial sectors, including:
