Chips andliquids
Well conceived working areafor optimum chip fall.
Chip removalChip removal lies at the core of everymachining center. This process shouldbe as automated as possible andshould take place without much inter-vention from the operator. A goodconcept is the key to success.
Clean working areaMIKRON HSM machines have thesteepest possible inner casing. Thischrome steel casing facilitatesoptimum chip fall and cleaning.
Cooling lubricant through the spindle(IKZ)In this option the percentage purity ofthe cooling lubricant is of considera-ble importance. A filter is thereforeabsolutely essential.
With a well conceived combination ofan efficient chip conveyor and filteringunit, nothing stands in the way of ma-chining with through-spindle cooling.
Handling of chips and liquidsChip form and quantity as well asliquids determine the chip mana-gement.The options range from coolinglubricant tank with chip tray...
to the variants with standard chipconveyor...
and further up to the solution with achip conveyor for increased demandsor without filter unit.

smart machine The new dimension in modern production
Bringing intelligence into the millingprocess is the intended aim of "smartmachine". This includes a range of modules thatare collectively referred to under thegeneric term "smart machine" andthat fulfil various functions. In order tomake the milling process "intelligent",various requirements have to be im-plemented. First of all, establishing comprehen-sive communication between man andmachine, which makes precise infor-mation that the operator requires toassess the milling process available tohim. Secondly, supporting the opera-tor in the optimisation of the process,which considerably improves the per-formance. Thirdly, the machine opti-mises the milling process, whichimproves the process safety and thequality of the workpiece - above all inunmanned operation.
The facts• Greater accuracy in shorter machi-
ning times• Increase in the workpiece surface
quality as well as the surface andshape accuracy
• Recognition of critical machiningstrategies
• Improvement in the process safety• Reduction of the hourly rate due to
longer service life• Higher availability• Better operating comfort• Considerable increase in reliability
in unmanned operation
smart machine construction kitsystemEach of the modules fulfils a specifictask. Just like in a construction kit,the user can select the modules thatseem to him to be the best option forimproving his process.
Your benefit Producing the workpieces in a pro-cess-secure and precise manner,increasing the reliability in unmannedoperation, increasing the service lifeof the machine and significantly redu-cing production costs.
The smart machine is constantlybeing developed further.

High-Speed and High-Performance Milling Centers
In terms of cutting speed, HSM centers are 10 times faster thanconventional milling machines. Greater accuracy and a better surfacefinish are also achieved. This means that even tempered materials canbe machined to a condition where they are largely ready to use. Oneessential advantage of HSM is that with systematic integration, theprocess chain can be significantly shortened. HSM has developedalongside EDM into one of the key technologies in mold and tool making.
Electric Discharge Machines
EDM can be used to machine conductive materials of any hardness (for example steel or titanium) to an accuracy of up to one-thousandth of a millimeter with no mechanical action. By virtue of these properties,EDM is one of the key technologies in mold and tool making. There aretwo distinct processes -- wire-cutting EDM and die-sinking EDM
Tooling, Automation, Software
Tooling for fixing workpieces and tools; automation systems and systemsoftware for configuring machine tools and recording and exchangingdata with the various system components.
HSM Spindle Technology
Development, production and sale of the motor spindles that form thecore components of modern HSM centers. The spindles rotate at speedsbetween 10,000 and 60,000 rpm.
Services and Consumables
Service, maintenance, spare parts and consumables for EDM, millingand HSM systems as well as for other machine tools; consumablesinclude filters, wire, graphite, copper electrodes and special resin.
