New X.mill Series: Vertical Machining Centres for Modern Manufacturing

With the introduction of the new X.mill series, KNUTH is restructuring its portfolio of vertical machining centres. The X.mill 600, 800 and 1100 models replace the previous X.mill T series and will form the new cost-effective entry-level line, while the Vector series continues to cover the premium segment.

This gives users clearer guidance when selecting the right machining centre — from flexible all-round machines to high-performance solutions.

The new X.mill is designed for companies in machine building, toolmaking, training and workshops with changing production tasks, where machines need to deliver reliable performance day after day.

The robust machine construction is based on high-quality, fully enclosed linear guides and precision ball screws. This ensures lasting accuracy and reliability, even in demanding machining operations. At the same time, the clearly laid-out workspace and optimised accessibility help reduce set-up times and make operation more comfortable.

The X.mill series comes standard with a 24-position tool changer with double-arm gripper. Fast tool transfer reduces non-productive time and increases productivity. Users benefit from shorter chip-to-chip times and more efficient production processes, especially in machining operations with frequent tool changes.

The new X.mill was developed for continuous production use. The standard chain-type chip conveyor automatically removes large chip volumes and ensures a clean working area. This reduces cleaning effort, increases process reliability and supports uninterrupted production.

The new series offers the right machine size for a wide range of production requirements, with X-axis travel of 600, 800 or 1100 mm. All models are based on the same product philosophy and combine productivity, ease of operation and cost efficiency in day-to-day production.

Different travel ranges allow users to select the machine that best fits their requirements — from flexible all-round solutions to machining centres for larger workpieces. This ensures the right machine size for each production task, without compromising on proven equipment features and operating concepts.
