MILL 400 5-Axis Machining Centre – Precision and Efficiency in Micromachining

The MILL 400 5-Axis Machining Centre is a compact 5-axis vertical CNC machining centre designed for precision machining of small and complex components in a single setup. Equipped with a Ø100 mm tilting rotary table and Siemens or Fanuc control, it guarantees exceptional accuracy and performance.

Main Advantages of the MILL 400 5-Axis Machining Centre

The vertical machining centre MILL 400 5-Axis is an advanced solution for industries requiring precision and complex geometries. It is the ideal CNC machining centre for companies seeking a compact, high-productivity and flexible machine. The key advantages include:

• Advanced 5-axis machining: Positioning accuracy of ±0.005 mm and repeatability of ±0.003 mm achieved through a Ø100 mm tilting rotary table with B-axis (-110° to +30°) and C-axis (continuous 360° rotation), enabling machining of complex parts in a single setup.
• Compact and rigid structure: Minimises vibration and ensures stability when machining components weighing up to 20 kg.
• High spindle performance: Spindle speed of 8000 rpm (optional 12000 rpm) with BT30 taper (optional BT40) allows efficient cutting of metals and plastics.
• Process automation: 10-position tool magazine with automatic tool change increases productivity and reduces downtime.
• Precision control: Siemens or Fanuc systems with full 5-axis interpolation ensure intuitive operation and optimal toolpath control.
• Ergonomics and safety: Hermetically sealed enclosure and automatic lubrication system provide a safe and efficient working environment.
• Compact dimensions: With dimensions of 2050×1600×2100 mm and weight of 600 kg, the machine is ideal for workshops with limited space.
• Wide application range: Perfect for micromachining in medical, electronic and watchmaking industries.
