The compact Micro5 machining center, to be demonstrated by Chiron Group at IMTS 2022, booth 134542 in the Germany stand, is designed to machine the smallest medical instruments and delicate parts for microprecision industry. The machine is said to guarantee maximum precision for small, microtechnical workpieces such as medical, watchmaking, jewelry, and small electronics.

With a 5:1 ratio of machine to workpieces, five-times lower weight, and lower energy consumption than conventional systems, the 5-axis Micro5 machining center is compact and quick and easy to set up.

The Micro5 offers high static stiffness, repeatability of 0.5 μm, and target accuracy of 2 μm. With thermal stability, high dynamic rigidity, and acceleration of 2g, the compact machine is made for HSM.

Many times more efficient The central element of the Micro5 is a high-performance milling spindle that reduces machining time significantly compared to larger machines. Due to its high rigidity, the compact, five-axis machining center ensures high precision and optimum surface quality. At just 500 Watts, the Micro5 also consumes little energy and is operated by an intuitive HMI panel with a noise level under 50 decibels.

Feed5 – Greater autonomy, greater production capacity Early users of the Micro5 wanted the machine to allow automatic loading for higher production capacity. For that capability, Chiron provides the Feed5, a six-axis robot for automated loading and unloading. The Feed5 is particularly useful for enabling increased autonomy and productivity for longer production runs. The maximum workpiece size for the Micro5 is 50mm x 50mm x 50mm (L x W x H).

The high-precision machining center perfectly complements the Chiron product range below the 08 series vertical machining center, which handles a work cube of 450-270-360mm.
