100% precision right on time and process

With Automated Machine Calibration (AMC) as standard, the machine geometry can be calibrated at any time within minutes by any operator. The powerful cooling of all machine components will keep your process stable.

+45% reduction of tool center point drift

The Ambient Robust technology enables constant stabilization of the machine body temperature. Minimal movement of machine geometry will result in lowest possible drift of the tool center point.

+40% higher speed for more competitiveness

The strong linear motors capable of a speed up to 100m/min position you ahead of your competition. Reduce your cost per part thanks to higher machine dynamics.

24-h billable autonomy

Discover integrated Automation with GF Machining Solutions' most compact pallet changer. This solution is prepared for third-party automation with robot interface. Even with automation, access to the working area is always ensured.

Applications

Automation comes standard - MILL X - Milling machines GF Machining Solutions

Automation comes standard

Palletized automation is one of the best ways to cut down setup times and maximize spindle utilization – and it comes standard on MILL X series machines. Whether it’s unmanned series production or a range of different parts, it’s ideal for any shop looking for the highest level of throughput. The machine also comes with a standardized robot interface to take the single-machine MILL X and integrate it with a complete automation solution.

Complex-part production, perfected - MILL X - Milling machines - GF Machining Solutions

Complex-part production, perfected

Designed to allow manufacturers to reach new levels of speed and productivity, the MILL X series also offers ultra-high-speed spindles, integrated automation and smart machine modules that are all aimed at minimizing non-cut time and maximizing operator productivity. Superior surface finishes help to eliminate post-processing operations and when operators do need to intervene, the ergonomic design makes access simple.

Long-lasting precision - MILL S - Milling machines GF Machining Solutions

Long-lasting precision

For mold and die manufacturers, long cycle times for precision components make process security a necessity. The MILL S series uses a range of solutions for long-term reliability, including programmable warm-up cycles, thermostabilized machine bodies and OptiCool or CoolCore Step-Tec Spindle technology. High-dynamic drives and guides, direct-path measuring systems in the linear axes, and castings optimized.

Optimal machining at your fingertips - MILL S - Milling machines - GF Machining Solutions

Optimal machining at your fingertips

In addition to an optimized, rigid machine design and world-class spindle technology, the MILL S series comes equipped with smart machine modules that make it possible to reach the highest level of reliability and performance. Operator Support System (OSS) Extreme smooths movement and improves feedrates for high precision, better surface quality and up to 25% faster machining time, while Intelligent Tool Monitoring (ITM) ensures reliable.

Jig grinding

Secure and reduce your manufacturing process for optimal surface quality with a single machine

Mikron MILL S/X machines are able to combine Milling and jig grinding on the same machine. The grinding setup into the machine has been well designed in order to maintain standard workpiece dimensions and clamping surface even for Automation. Nevertheless, the laser measuring system and the dressing spindle are located closer to the working area for a quick and fast grinding process. Through this two-in-one solution, GF Machining Solutions improves and significantly reduces customers’ manufacturing processes. The combination of milling and grinding technologies, extremely high machine dynamics, and consistent thermal stability and accuracy provide fast ROI and high-end, quality products.

Two-in-one solution

Combine Milling and jig grinding on a single machine to both reduce the part manufacturing process and increase surface quality. The closed grinding process (grinding + measuring) accelerates your time to market.

Monitor your process

Dressing spindle is equipped with an acoustic emission (AE) sensor to track and visualize on the Heidenhain control the signal during tool dressing. The machine can be equipped with an additional AE sensor to track grinding operations in order to further optimize the process.

Three- or five-axis grinding process

Thanks to the Mikron MILL S/X series extend your business opportunity by combining milling and grinding process on the same machine in three- or five-axis simultaneous. Get easily a surface quality of < Ra 0.06 µm

Stable grinding process

Easily and significantly increase surface quality on parts with the closed grinding process (grinding/dressing/measuring) and the monitoring through the AE sensors.

Maximize your potential

Mikron MILL S/X (U) series machines are Automation ready and the grinding option does not impact standard workpiece dimensions or the standard pallet changer. Get automated parts changing to increase your production output while achieving 3 µm machining accuracy and less than 0.06 µm surface roughness.

Sustainability

Maintaining the highest level of precision while consuming less energy, the Mikron MILL S/X series is a sustainable solution for any high-end milling challenges. This starts with design of the machine from the very beginning, with a new control unit, a more efficient exhaust system and intelligent temperature control.
