This used Chiron Mill 6000 SK is a machining center — a machine tool also commonly referred to as a CNC machining center — designed to perform precision milling operations on workpieces with high speed and accuracy. Machining centers of this type are used across industries such as aerospace, automotive, and general engineering, where controlled multi-axis cutting, boring, and contouring are required. Chiron is a well-established German manufacturer known for producing high-performance machining centers and milling machines, with a strong reputation for compact, high-speed solutions serving demanding production environments.
Built in 2004 and currently located in Germany, this machine is offered in used condition. It is configured as a 4-axis machining center and is controlled by a Siemens unit. The motion system delivers rapid traverse rates of 60 m/min across all three linear axes, which is indicative of a high-productivity machine suited to fast-cycle-time applications.
The axis travel envelope is one of the defining characteristics of this machine. The X-axis extends to 6,000 mm, making it well suited to long-part machining, while the Y-axis provides 630 mm of travel and the Z-axis 550 mm, giving a working volume capable of handling a broad range of part sizes and profiles. Pendulum machining — where two workpiece setups alternate so that loading and machining occur simultaneously — is a supported working mode, further increasing productive uptime.
The spindle is a high-speed motor spindle rated at 12,000 rpm, appropriate for fine surface finishes and high-feed milling strategies. The machine includes a 5-axis milling package, expanding its contouring capability beyond the standard 4-axis configuration. Tool management is handled through a 92-position tool magazine, providing a substantial capacity for complex, multi-operation parts without manual intervention. A Marposs collision monitoring system is also fitted, offering active protection for the spindle and tooling during machining operations.
