The vertical, three-axis Mikron MILL P 900 is designed in a

robust, portal structure with high static stiffness. It guarantees

high quality parts for mold-makers in information and

communications technology (ICT), automotive, home

appliances and consumer goods, with the benefit of real

roughing and finishing performance on the same machine.

This high-performance machine serves customers looking for

best quality and very high positioning and contour accuracy,

mainly in the production of light to heavy mold and die

applications with a 2.5D contour, small to mid-size batches,

and prototypes.

The machine provides ideal ergonomics for manual loading of

workpieces weighing up to 1,000 kg from the front and fully

covers a second or third shift with its integrated Automation

through the center with a capacity of up to 80 kg.

• Good thermal stability through OCS

Incorporated into the HPC190 line is the well-

proven OptiCool principle that keeps the front

bearing area cool while the extra heat barrier

cooling loop keeps the motor heat away from

the Spindle nose. That results in a thermally

balanced Spindle thus assuring a high level of

precision, repeatability and surface finish.

The 36,000 rpm HVC150 Spindle is the opti-

mum solution for mold and die machining. It

reaches a superb surface finish thanks to its

great axial stability. Due to the specially cho-

sen bearing arrangement with two hybrid ball

bearings in the rear instead of the common

roller bearing system, this Spindle stands out

with very low dynamic axial growth. This pre-

cision bearing arrangement offers the best in

repeatability for machining operations.

The high-performance Spindles from Step-Tec are designed to do heavy roughing and Milling to best surface finish all in one. With a bearing design with three preloaded hybrid ball bearings in the front and a thermally robust hybrid cylindrical roller bearing on the back, you are guaranteed a super-rigid rotating system that enables Milling with extra-long tools reaching into deep cavities. Ramp up your chip removal, thanks the feed rates made possible by this solution’s absorption of high Milling forces at the tool tip.

MillingMikron high-speed (HSM), high-performance (HPM)

and high-efficiency (HEM) Milling centers

Customers operating in the mold, tool and die and precision compo-

nent manufacturing sectors stake their reputations on being able to

quickly and cost-competitively meet their customers’ demands.

That’s why they invest in GF Mikron machines. Incorporating the lat-

est and most advanced technologies and premium-performance

components, Mikron HSM, HPM and HEM machines help you in-

crease your production capabilities and improve your productivity.

Designed and built for speed, accuracy and reliability, the machines,

like you, are proven performers.

Liechti dedicated aerospace and energy machining centers

Aerospace and power generation turbine manufacturers increas-

ingly turn to Liechti dedicated five- and six-axis machining centers

to machine complex, high-precision airfoils on blades, disks, blings,

blisks/IBRs and impellers. It’s easy to see why because these ma-

chines, with their specific profile machining technology, specialized

CAD/CAM software and engineering competence for ultra-dynamic

machining in titanium, Inconel, nimonic, titanium-aluminide and

high-alloy steels, yield productivity gains as much as 30 percent,

thanks to reduced machining times. In the globally competitive aero-

space and power generation manufacturing sector, that’s definitely

worth shouting about.

Step-Tec Spindles

At the heart of every GF Mikron machining center is high-performance

Step-Tec Spindle. Step-Tec Spindles are essential core components of

our machining centers. Highly accurate and thermally stable Step-Tec

Spindles ensure that our machines can handle everything from

heavy-duty roughing to fine-finishing operations.

Tooling and AutomationSystem 3R Tooling, Automation and software

Productivity is the key to manufacturing success, and automating a

manufacturing process is a proven method of increasing its efficiency,

effectiveness, quality and reliability. System 3R’s integrated Tooling,

Automation and software solutions ranging from simple workpiece

pallet and electrode changers through to flexible manufacturing and

robot handling systems are guaranteed to help you increase their

competitive advantage.

Customer ServicesOperations Support, Machine Support and Business Support

To help you get the most and the best from your machine tools and

equipment, we offer three levels of support. Operations Support cov-

ers our range of original wear parts and certified consumables (EDM

wires, filters, resins, electrodes etc.) to ensure that your machines

are performing at the highest levels. Machine Support maximizes,

through our best-in-class technical support, preventive services and

quality spare parts, your machine tool uptime. Business Support is

designed to help you make a real step-change in your productivity

and performance with solutions tailored to your specific needs.

LaserAgieCharmilles Laser texturing machines

Laser texturing is a fully-digitized surface engineering process that

has huge potential. The technology enables precise 2D and 3D tex-

tures or engravings to be machined accurately and directly onto

complex parts or molds to improve and alter their aesthetic appeal,

functionality and performance. The process is infinitely repeatable

and offers many distinct environmental and economic advantages

over conventional texturing processes.

Laser Additive Manufacturing (AM)

GF Machining Solutions has partnered with EOS, the global leader

for high-end AM solutions, to integrate this innovative technology

and further develop it into its current solutions to fully benefit the

mold industry, by focusing on injection efficiency: optimized cooling

design to reduce cycle time, lower energy consumption, higher qual-

ity of plastic parts.
