Innovative machining centres made for
aerospace
Innovative machining centres for the economical cutting of aerospace components provide simultaneous 5-axis machining, deep drilling in series production and high-performance milling.
The mechanical machining of functional and structural components made of aluminium, titanium and steel for the aerospace industry requires modern manufacturing technologies Whether the six-sided complete machining of small cubic parts, simultaneous 5-axis machining, deep drilling in series production, high-performance milling of large structural components or all-round complete machining of up to 11m long aluminium profiles: Thanks to the innovative machining centres, cells and lines and the customer support available worldwide 'around the clock', Chiron is the top choice for more and more successful companies in the aerospace industry

High speeds contribute to product success
The capabilities of Chiron vertical machining centre technology are playing a key role in the worldwide success of a product designed, developed and manufactured in Britain by Maxam Pneumatics.
At the Airtec, the world market leader will present the machining centres Mill 2000 and a MPS 15 high speed, which operate according to the moving column principle.
The comprehensive modular concept of the MILL series allows individual machines to be configured for volume cutting as well as for the fine cutting of complex parts made of steel, titanium and non-ferrous metals (dry, with cooling lubricant or oil) in small and medium batches.
The X/Y/Z travel of the seven basic models ranges from 800x500x550mm (Mill 800) to 6000x630x840mm (Mill 6000).

Thanks to the multitude of options, such as the magazine with capacities from 24 to 180 SK-40 or HSK-A63 tools, spindle drives up to 58kW, an NC swivel head with a spindle which can go up to 20 000 rev/min, a 2-axis swivel rotary table, and an NC positioning or water-cooled turning spindle (with 100/65mm bar capacity), it is possible to have a perfect individual solution adapted to the respective customer requirements ex works under attractive conditions.
Axis feeds up to 60m/min and chip-to-chip times of 2.9s guarantee the highest performance and inexpensive piece costs.
The Chiron MPS series also has a modular structure and can be very flexibly individualised.
The MPS is currently one of the most versatile and productive serial machines for the all-round and longitudinal machining of profile bars in one set-up.
MPS machining centres machine workpieces directly from the profile, continuously and completely.
Milling, drilling, countersinking, reaming, thread cutting - anything is possible.
This equally applies for series parts and for variants.
Thanks to the combination of high-performance machining centres and NC-controlled material feed, the production volume can be increased to up to 800 workpieces per hour.
The MPS has very high running autonomy and is ideally suited for multi-machine operation.
Complete machining in one set-up guarantees the finest machining quality.
With passage cross-sections of up to 120 x 120mm and machining lengths of up to 11m, this machining centre is recommended for example for the flexible complete machining of a wide variety of components, such as airplane seat rails.
The profile-specific clamping jaws are quick and inexpensive to manufacture, which equally minimizes set-up costs and time for variable batch sizes or variants.
