One Fast Spindle and One Strong Spindle in New 5-Axis, Twin-Spindle MC
CHIRON's new twin-spindle series DZ 22, with spindle clearance of 600 mm, is designed to completely and rapidly machine complex, large workpieces, including housings for electric motors and transmissions, oil pumps, chassis components, and more. The company also offers a 4-axis variant of the Series 22.
According to the company, the Series 22 combines both high-speed and high-precision processing for complete production of even large high-precision components. Featuring two workpiece-changing table variants, part capacities are generous -- the 4-axis trunnion plate version handles 680 mm x 1,330 mm dia., up to 600 kg; and the twin-spindle 5-axis version handles 2 x 599 mm x 340 mm dia., up to 150 kg.
Key to success of the small-footprint innovative machine concept is a machine platform using a moving gantry design. The rigid machine bed and active component cooling enable the required degree of precision on the workpiece. High acceleration -- X-Y-Z max. 10-10-17 m/s² -- in all axes and rapid response to programming inputs ensure dynamic machining as never before seen with workpiece dimensions of this size range. Axis travel distances are X-Y-Z max. 620-650-600 mm and rapid traverse speeds X-Y-Z max. up to 120-120-90 m/min.
In addition to precision and dynamics, Series 22 also offers impressive flexibility. From very complex workpieces or product series with many different tools: The magazines offer space for up to 77 tools and, thanks to the integrated workpiece changer, the workpieces are loaded and unloaded during machining, saving cycle time. Tool change time from 3.1 sec., chip-to-chip.
Spindle Options -- One Fast, One Strong
Depending on the processing task, two different main spindles are used in Series 22: a fast spindle with a speed of up to 20,000 rpm and a torque of up to 137 Nm for workpieces made of aluminum or aluminum alloys. Or a strong spindle with a speed of up to 12,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 200nm for hard materials and large tools. The 22 series is also available as an HSK-A100 machine for further stability and performance.
Simple, Clear Access
The working area is easily accessible, and the process easy to see through large glazed doors. The control panel is located directly next to the working area, making set-up easier. The new machines are operated easily and according to context via the Chiron TouchLine operating system.

On the back, the tools are inserted in the chain magazine, and the tool data can be entered here directly via the operating console. Tool replacement is carried out during machine operation; the new tool is clicked into the magazine with a single movement of the hand.
Modular Design, Application-Oriented
Series 22 is available with a ball screw drive or a linear direct drive. You can also choose from two plate variants: A suspension plate for four-axis machining or two face plates for five-axis simultaneous machining. All models can also be equipped according to the application with a cooling system, suction unit, chip conveyor, individual tool packages and more.
