Introduction
CHIRON-WERKE GmbH & Co. KG introduces two new machining centers, the FZ08 MT and FZ12 MT, designed for six-sided complete machining with simultaneous milling and turning capabilities. These models aim to double productivity by using two tools simultaneously, significantly reducing throughput times.

Specifications
The FZ08 MT and FZ12 MT models feature travel paths of 450/270/310 mm and 550/320/420 mm respectively, with rapid feed speeds of 75 m/min. The spindle speeds reach up to 40,000 rpm for the FZ08 MT and 24,000 rpm for the FZ12 MT. Both models support tool tapers HSK-E40/A40 and HSK-A50/A63, with milling capacities of 30 cm³/min and 80 cm³/min respectively.

Turning and Tooling Features
Both models include a turning spindle with a bar passage of up to Ø65 mm and speeds up to 8,000 rpm. The tool revolver accommodates 12 tools with speeds of driven tools up to 5,000 rpm. The opposed spindle supports diameters up to Ø65 mm and speeds up to 6,500 rpm.

Technological Advancements
The integration of a turning revolver allows for precise machining, with direct path measurement systems and highly dynamic linear drives enhancing precision. The modular assembly enables customer-specific configurations, and the machines are optimized for continuous assembly to ensure short delivery times.

Applications and Industries
The new machining centers are suitable for various industries, including medical engineering, watch and jewelry, machine and vehicle manufacturing, and aerospace. They are designed for efficient milling, drilling, and thread cutting of small to medium-sized workpieces with complex contours.

Innovations and Features
CHIRON emphasizes speed and dynamics, with high axis accelerations and rapid feeds. The machines feature a newly developed mineral casting frame for thermal stability and a design that facilitates free chip fall for heat dissipation. Additional features include an LED signal tower and a redesigned control panel.

Conclusion
The FZ08 MT and FZ12 MT models represent a significant advancement in machining technology, offering enhanced productivity and precision. They cater to a wide range of applications, providing versatile and efficient solutions for modern manufacturing needs.
