Machine Comparison
Chiron DZ 22W Five Axis vs Chiron DZ 25P
Chiron vs Chiron · 5-Axis Machining Centers
Summary
The Chiron DZ 22W Five Axis and the Chiron DZ 25P are twin-spindle 5-axis machining centers with the same HSK-A63 taper and the same 86 – 208 Nm torque range. The Chiron DZ 25P is the larger machine in every axis: 800 mm of X travel against 620 mm, 1,100 mm of Y against 980 mm and 800 mm of Z against 600 mm.
The Chiron DZ 22W Five Axis is quicker between cuts, with a 2.2 s chip-to-chip time against 2.9 s. Its spindle options run 12,500 – 20,000 rpm, where the Chiron DZ 25P lists 12,500 or 17,500 rpm, and its magazine comes as 2 x 42, 2 x 64 or 2 x 98 where the Chiron DZ 25P lists 2 x 60. In X the Chiron DZ 25P lists a 90 m/min rapid against 75 m/min.

Advantages
Chiron DZ 22W Five Axis
- 2.2 s chip-to-chip time against 2.9 s
- Choice of three magazine sizes, 2 x 42, 2 x 64 or 2 x 98, where the Chiron DZ 25P lists one
Chiron DZ 25P
- 800 mm of X travel against 620 mm
- 1,100 mm of Y travel against 980 mm
- 800 mm of Z travel against 600 mm
Verdict
Choose by part size and cycle length. The Chiron DZ 25P is for large parts machined in pairs that need 800 mm of X and Z travel and 1,100 mm of Y, on long milling cycles where a 2.9 s chip-to-chip time is a small share of the cycle. The Chiron DZ 22W Five Axis fits parts within 620 mm of X and 980 mm of Y, and shorter cycles with many tool changes, where its 2.2 s chip-to-chip time counts.
