CHIRON introduces the new FZ 08 KS M 5-axis machine to their product line for simultaneous 5-axis machining and the machining of tilted working planes with three linear axes and two additional axes. The Al Nano High Precision Contour Control (AINHPCC) allows for fast and automatic control of the feed rate with high resolution interpolation for high surface quality and precision.

Integrated with an NC swivel rotary table with a fourth axis tilting range ±100° and with a fifth axis full 360° rotation, this machine allows for highly productive machining of complex workpieces.

This machine comes with a spindle speed of up to 36,000rpm, rapid traverse of up to 70m/minute, tool change times of 1.5 seconds, chip to chip times of 4.0 seconds, and Siemens or Fanuc controls all in a compact, space saving footprint.
