5-Axis Machining with Scalability



The Mikron MILL P 800 U S is suited for automation.

The Mikron MILL P 800 U S allows shops to machine components fully on a single machine and eliminate transfer-related part errors, along with stacked tolerances, for enhanced quality of finished parts.

GF Machining Solutions offers the compact Mikron MILL P 800 U S featuring scalability with enhanced loading access.

The Mikron MILL P 800 U S allows shops to machine components fully on a single machine and eliminate transfer-related part errors, along with stacked tolerances, for enhanced quality of finished parts. This scalable solution is suited for automation, with a smaller footprint compared to the Mikron MILL P 800 U. It has a maximum loading capability of 1,000 kg (2,204.62 lbs.) and is suitable for heavy roughing to fine finishing.

A newly redesigned enclosure provides easy, direct loading access at the back of the compact MILL P 800 U S, with additional robot-ready automation options in front of the machine, giving aerospace, automotive and general industry production a way to expand production in less floor space.

"For aggressive material removal on tough materials, the latest high-dynamic cutting performance, integrated job and tool management and high-speed spindle design combine with high-tech process security for risk-free machining," said a company spokesperson.

Gantry designs on all MILL P 800 U machines offer stability for machining tough materials, such as titanium alloys, over long periods of milling. Heidenhain TNC 640 and Siemens 840D controls help ensure process safety, long tool life and overall production efficiency. Intelligent Spindle Monitoring (ISM) displays spindle vibrations in X, Y and Z axes. "This complete picture of spindle movement helps reduce tooling costs, extend the life of the machine, heighten part quality and improve productivity," said the spokesperson.

All machines in the MILL P 800 U range are rConnect ready. This central communications platform enables manufacturers to maximize their productivity and their control over production. Live Remote Assistance (LRA), process improvement modules, predictive maintenance and machine monitoring improve machine uptime and add more flexibility on the shop floor. LRA allows for customer-authorized remote assistance via real-time connection of machines to GF Machining Solutions. With LRA, either the manufacturer using the system or a GF Machining Solutions technician can conduct remote diagnostics and inspections.

"The Mikron MILL P 800 U S will be offered to customers as part of a complete newly designed service package," said the spokesperson. "They can expect full support with one supplier for the whole cell, including automation. They will receive extra hours of support, quick access to experts to get the machine on track up to 12 times faster, remote support using the latest digital technologies and advanced diagnostics on the spindle and the robot's motions. Further advantages include the worldwide spindle exchange service within 24 hours, as well as original parts and upgrade to the latest software."
