This used Microcut THE Challenger Machining Center is a machining center — also known as a CNC machining center or milling machining center — a machine tool designed for precision metal cutting operations including milling, drilling, boring, and tapping, typically under full CNC control. Microcut is a manufacturer with a recognised presence in the production of high-performance CNC machine tools, serving industries such as aerospace, automotive, mould-making, and general precision engineering.
This 2016 machine, located in Portugal, is offered in used condition and carries 23,390 recorded working hours. It weighs approximately 10,500 kg, reflecting a robust, heavy-duty construction suited to demanding production environments.
The machining envelope is defined by axis travels of 1,200 mm in X, 730 mm in Y, and 650 mm in Z. Rapid traverse rates reach 42 m/min across all three axes, enabling fast positioning between cuts and supporting high-productivity cycle times. The spindle is a direct-drive design running to a maximum of 25,000 rpm, with a noted alternative reference of 15,000 rpm also provided in the source data. It accepts ISO 40 taper tooling and is driven by a spindle motor rated at 20/52.5 kW. The automatic tool changer holds 32 tools, giving the machine the flexibility to perform multi-operation sequences without manual intervention.
The working table measures 1,400 × 710 mm with a stated table length of 900 mm and width of 520 mm, and carries a table load of 450 kg. A separate reference to a 1,200 × 1,000 mm table size is also noted in the source data. The machine incorporates linear guidance on all axes, contributing to accuracy and smooth motion throughout the working envelope.
The control system is a Heidenhain TNC 530i, a well-regarded conversational and DIN/ISO CNC controller widely used in precision machining applications. Additional technical data references a load capacity of 7,000 kg on the bottom plate and 2,500 kg on the top plate, a maximum clamping force of 500 kN, a maximum opening force ranging from 120 to 1,500 kN, a spindle-to-column centre distance of 800 mm, and a height adjustment of 870 mm.
