Zimmermann’s FZP37 gantry milling machine has a modular design which allows different operating ranges and the use of different brands of CNC controls. Its gantry construction makes it possible to machine components of all kinds. This gantry milling machine boasts a substantial working range, from 118" to 1575" in the X-axis, 98" to 236" in the Y-axis and 49" to 118" in the Z-axis.
The length of the machine table ranges from 118" to 1575”, with a width between 98" and 236". It’s firmly anchored to the machine base, thus providing a stable cutting surface for material. The milling process is highly precise, regardless of weight and size.
Its structurally rigid center lead portal, the cross- and Z-slides and the dynamic milling heads facilitate a consistent, efficient milling process. The feed rate is up to 2362ipm with an acceleration rate of up to 197in/s². Users can choose from either a Heidenhain TNC 7 or a Sinumerik One CNC control. Several milling heads are offered on the machine to suit a variety of applications.
Due to a combination of high thermal stability and structural rigidity, these machines meet all the requirements of model making, tool and mold construction, including the demands of the aerospace and automotive industries. Additionally, the versatile 5/6-axis of the FZP37 is also suitable for machining workpieces in shipbuilding and the alternative energy industry.
Optional equipment includes a tool probe, tool measuring system, work area cover, tool changer, chip conveyor, and a mist/dust extraction system. Also available are lubricant cooling, minimum quantity lubrication, vacuum system, and a dust extraction bell.
