This Chiron FZ 12K W Highs is a used machining center — sometimes referred to as a CNC machining center or vertical machining center — built in 2012 and configured for high-speed, high-precision metal cutting across four processing axes. Chiron is a German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for compact, high-speed machining centers used widely in the automotive, aerospace, and precision engineering industries.
The machine is configured as a shuttle table design, allowing a workpiece to be loaded and unloaded on one station while machining continues on the other, supporting uninterrupted production cycles. The working envelope covers 550 mm in X, 320 mm in Y, and 360 mm in Z, with a table surface measuring 820 mm left to right and a maximum workpiece load capacity of 500 kg. The spindle accepts HSK A50 tooling and reaches a maximum speed of 24,000 rpm, reflecting the high-speed package fitted to this machine. Rapid traverse is rated at 75,000 mm/min, enabling fast axis movements between operations. The tool magazine holds 24 positions.
The machine is equipped with the Highspeed Plus package and includes a Renishaw probing system paired with a Chiron Lasercontrol System F1000 and workpiece support control, providing in-process measurement and tool-length verification. A Peisseler AWU 160P rotary table adds a fourth axis for multi-sided or rotational machining operations. Automation is provided by a Fanuc LR 200iC six-axis robot configured for loading, unloading, and palletizing, which supports lights-out or minimally attended production. A Knoll KSS watertank unit (model FKA/350, dated 2011) handles coolant supply, and an air extraction unit with filtration manages airborne particles and mist within the enclosure.
Standard ancillary equipment includes guideways with full covers, a central lubrication system, a chip conveyor, a coolant unit, and a fully closed cabin. The machine meets European CE standards and is wired for 400 V at 50 Hz. Total machine weight is approximately 7,700 kg.
