Machine Comparison
Chiron DZ 08 S Five Axis vs Chiron MILL 800 Five Axis Baseline
Chiron vs Chiron · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
Both are Chiron 5-axis machining centers on a Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl control, but they are built for different work. The Chiron DZ 08 S Five Axis is a twin-spindle machine for high volumes of very small parts, with 450 x 270 x 310 mm of travel. The Chiron MILL 800 Five Axis Baseline is a single-spindle universal 5-axis machine for medium-sized parts, with 800 x 630 x 550 mm of travel.
The DZ 08 leads on spindle speed, 18,000 - 40,000 rpm against 20,000 RPM, and uses smaller HSK-A40 / HSK-E40 tooling. The MILL 800 offers a larger envelope on every axis, an HSK-A63 spindle and up to 60 tools against 2 x 16 tools on the DZ 08.
