The CNC portal milling machine FZ40 compact is designed for the machining of hard materials as well as
aluminum. The inherently rigid machine structure allows for simultaneous 5-axis high speed machining.
This compact machine, with its solid cast base does not require a foundation and can be set up on
any solid shop fl oors. The machine table is integrated into the cast baseplate, which allows up to
16 metric tons of table load. Eight mounting elements of the FZ40 compact reduce vibration - the basic
requirement for high accuracy and optimum surface quality of the work pieces. In addition, the sidewalls
are fi lled with a special dampening concrete mix to further enhance performance. The machine has a
fully enclosed working space with a fi xed machine table. The structural sound overhead gantry
with a reinforced Z-ram make up the moving masses. By adding our new dynamic milling head VH60,
Zimmermann has created a powerful performer. The combination of high strength and rigidity, constant
moving masses and dynamic drives, will meet the industries high demands.
