MILL 1042 machining centre – precision and reliability in CNC machining

MILL 1042 machining centre is an advanced vertical CNC machining centre designed for precise and efficient metal machining. Equipped with modern technologies and a solid construction, it provides reliability and high-quality workpieces in various industrial applications.

Main advantages of the MILL 1042 machining centre

MILL 1042 vertical machining centre is a solution that combines advanced technology with solid construction, providing an advantage in demanding production processes. This machine is an ideal choice for companies looking for 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 workpieces with complex shapes.
• Structural stability: The heavy cast-iron body provides excellent rigidity, minimising vibration even when machining workpieces weighing up to 300 kg.
• Work efficiency: The spindle with 7.5 kW power and speed up to 8000 rpm with the option of 10,000 rpm, together with servo drives, ensures dynamic machining and shorter cycle times.
• Operator safety: The sealed 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 adapted to specific requirements.

Construction and technology of the MILL 1042 machining centre

MILL 1042 metal milling centre has been designed for maximum durability and precision in demanding industrial conditions. Key components include:

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

Precision and work efficiency

MILL 1042 CNC machining centre guarantees high precision thanks to advanced technological solutions. Positioning accuracy (0.006 mm) and rapid feed (24 m/min for the X and Y axes, 20 m/min for the Z axis) enable efficient machining of workpieces with complex geometries. Advanced control systems such as Siemens Sinumerik or Fanuc Oi-TF optimise tool paths, shortening production time and minimising errors.
