Design and Construction

• The X.mill has been designed from the ground up to ensure reliable performance in a production environment and consistent results in day-to-day operation
• All axes move on high-quality, fully enclosed linear guides and precision ball screws, ensuring high accuracy and low static friction
• The worktable offers great flexibility for workpieces of various sizes. Travel ranges from 600 mm to 1100 mm are possible along the X-axis
• The workspace is clearly laid out, and access to controls has been optimised to keep set-up and configuration times as short as possible in day-to-day production
• The entire design is engineered to be low-maintenance and easy to service, even under heavy, continuous use ("Daily Worker")

Main spindle and drives

• The multi-bearing spindle ensures effective absorption and dissipation of the forces generated during machining    
• The high-quality, belt-driven spindle unit enables a wide speed range of up to 10,000 rpm    
• The SK 40 spindle mount is characterised by its stability and wide range of tools

Automatic Tool Changer

• The 24-position tool changer increases productivity, flexibility and safety during machining
• Thanks to the vertical design with double-arm gripper, each tool change can be carried out quickly and the discarded tools are stored in a space-saving manner
• The heavy-duty design ensures robustness and allows for high tool weights

Equipment

• The electronic handwheel makes it easier for the operator to set up the machine
• The electronics are optimally protected in the closed control cabinet, and a powerful heat exchanger takes care of temperature management
• The workspace is completely enclosed and can easily be equipped with an extraction system
• Hand spray guns for coolant and compressed air are available for cleaning workpieces and the work area
• The automatic central lubrication system reliably supplies all lubrication points and facilitates machine maintenance
