Micro5 XL – premiere for micromachining in a new dimension

What began with the Micro5 as a highly dynamic machining center for the finest precision parts is now being continued in a pioneering way: With the Micro5 XL, the CHIRON Group is scaling up the successful concept for further demanding applications in medical and precision technology, electronics and mold and die manufacturing. The first machines have made their way to customers machining medical and precision components. Whether bone plates or knee inlays, bracelets or connectors, whether titanium, stainless steel or precious metals: the new micromachine processes complex, sophisticated geometries and different materials with maximum dynamics, precision and minimum cycle times.

A benchmark feature of the the design is its minimal footprint, which is just 1.7 m2 for the Micro5 XL including magazine for up to 100 tools and peripherals. The tools are inserted via a 4-fold gripper with short chip-to-chip times and are used over their entire length utilizing high speed machining strategies.

The Micro5 XL is operated entirely from the front and with a clear view of the process, even in the version with an integrated handling system. In this version, several machines can be arranged close together. This not only saves the cost-intensive resource of production space but also enables very ergonomic operation. The operating logic is consistent: Anyone who can program the micromachining center can also control the automation intuitively.
