Dynamic, precise machining for perfect finishes Dynamic Answer growing part complexity, precision and cycle time demands with a five-axis strategy. Get the ideal combination of linear, rotating and swiveling axes and shorten your production time with direct Milling in one clamping operation as a substitute for other process steps. Profit from perfect surface quality and precision due to singleclamping production and perfectly aligned five-axis kinematics. Precision and high surface quality Perfect machine design with highest mechanical requirements provides the basis for high surface...

Linear axes and torque table The linear axis motor and rotary swiveling torque table provide either a smooth or dynamic milling process. This allows machining accurate parts during short, medium, and long Milling processes. Benefits • High accuracy • High surface quality The swiveling rotary torque table on all Mikron MILL machines is built at our Biel, Switzerland, factory following a strict assembly. Benefits • High-quality components • Reduced downtime • Perfect table ergonomics

Precision over long running times The Econowatt smart machine module makes it possible to set the machine in a configurable standby and wake-up mode to achieve the perfect thermal conditions for the start of production and to reduce energy consumption. For optimum utilization of the machine’s precision, machine geometry needs to be very well calibrated. AMC perfectly simplifies calibration by guiding the user through all steps. The Ambient Robust option ushers in a new era of precision cutting and defeats heat problems with a complex active cooling system and ingenious electronic...

Step-Tec Spindles Always a step ahead Through continuous improvement processes, Step-Tec develops and uses only the highest-quality components to ensure that our high-speed spindles run with full operational security. Benefits • Extend product life cycle • No downtime • Limited vibration at higher speed • Limited heat at higher speed Thermal behavior of Step-Tec Spindles is thoroughly analyzed and improved to avoid Spindle deformation and keep an homogeneous geometry during the Milling process. The thermal behavior of the different Spindle lines are checked and improved based on the...

Two-in-one solution Mikron MILL S/X U machines are able to combine Milling and jig grinding on the same machine. The grinding setup into the machine has been well designed in order to maintain standard workpiece dimensions and clamping surface even for Automation. Nevertheless, the laser measuring system and the dressing spindle are located closer to the working area for a quick and fast grinding process. Benefits • No impact on the workpiece dimensions • No impact on the clamping surface • Quick grinding process setup Through this two-in-one solution, GF Machining Solutions improves and...

Dressing spindle is equipped with an acoustic emission (AE) sensor to track and visualize on the Heidenhain control the signal during tool dressing. The machine can be equipped with an additional AE sensor to track grinding operations in order to further optimize the process. Benefits • Grinding monitoring • Process improvment The dressing spindle is mounted next to the three-axis table with a slight incline to allow dressing of any complex grinding tool. The dressing spindle speed can also be adjusted from 3,000 rpm to 20,000 rpm. Benefits • Dressing flexibility • Application flexibility •...
