5-axis machining center FZH400

The FZH400 Horizontal Machining Center is Zimmermann’s most recent milling solution and bears the „made in Germany“ quality label. The core technology is a robust, water-cooled travelling column. Conventional designs have the drawback that lever eff ects cause their deviation to increase as the slide extends. This is not the case with the innovative travelling column design of the new FZH400. With increasing depth of immersion into the material, the guide carriage distance grows and this leads to advanced rigidity. The stepped drive guide ensures a perfectly constant geometry along the Z axis. This in turn guarantees maximum rigidity in sensitive areas of the workpiece. Used in combination with the highly dynamic Zimmermann milling heads, the FZH400 ensures an extremely effi cient milling process during the machining of aluminum and composites – a basic prerequisite for economic workpiece machining. The versatility of the patented M3ABC 3-axis milling head improves e ffi ciency due to the maximized material removal rate, in particular when machining structural parts. An integral standard component of the FZH400 is its pallet handling capability with an area for setting up pallets during machine operation. The newly developed handling system permits the reliable transportation of the pallets, is suitable for longer pallet lengths, and can be extended without difficulty.
