How much does the Chiron FZ 19S Mill-Turn cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a mill-turn / multi-tasking machine in this class — not a quote from Chiron. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Chiron FZ 19S Mill-Turn is the mill-turn version of the single-spindle FZ 19S: 850 × 980 × 700 mm of X, Y and Z travel and an HSK-A63 spindle offered between 12,500 and 20,000 rpm with 86 to 208 Nm. The rows Chiron publishes for it cover the milling spindle, the magazine and the axes. On travels, spindle range, tool capacity and rapids they match the FZ 19S Five Axis entry for entry.
That has a consequence for a buyer. Nothing in these rows describes the turning function: turning speed, turning torque and the largest turned diameter are not given. Whoever needs the machine for its turning has to get those values from Chiron for the parts in question.
The spindle range shows how differently the machine can be set up. Near 208 Nm it is an HSK-A63 spindle for roughing steel and cast iron; near 20,000 rpm it is one for aluminium and smaller tools. The chain magazine holds 42 to 196 tools and the chip-to-chip time is 2.4 s. A tool can be 78 mm in diameter with its neighbours in place, 160 mm with adjacent pockets empty, 450 mm long and 10.0 kg.
Rapids are 75 m/min in all three axes, with 11 m/s² of acceleration in X and Y and 18 m/s² in Z. Among Chiron's mill-turn machines the 715 MT is the bar machine, with 65 or 102 mm bar capacity and only 210 mm of Y. The FZ 19S Mill-Turn has 980 mm of Y, which points to chucked or fixtured parts instead of bar work.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 850 × 980 × 700 mm travels on a single-spindle mill-turn
- HSK-A63 spindle options from 12,500 to 20,000 rpm and from 86 to 208 Nm
- Chain magazine with 42 to 196 tools and 2.4 s chip-to-chip
- Tools up to 450 mm long and 10.0 kg, and 160 mm in diameter with adjacent pockets empty
- 75 m/min rapids with 18 m/s² of acceleration in Z
Limitations
- Chiron's data sheet rows give no turning speed, turning torque or maximum turned diameter
- Tool diameter is limited to 78 mm when the neighbouring pockets are occupied
- Speed and torque are given as ranges across spindle options; the sheet does not say which torque goes with which speed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
None in the rows on this page. The data sheet covers the milling spindle (12,500 to 20,000 rpm, 86 to 208 Nm, HSK-A63), the chain magazine and the axes. Turning speed, turning torque and the largest turned diameter need to be requested from Chiron.
02
On the headline figures it does not: the FZ 19S Five Axis also has 850 × 980 × 700 mm travels, 12,500 to 20,000 rpm, 86 to 208 Nm, HSK-A63, 42 to 196 tools and 75 m/min rapids. The difference is the turning function named in the model, which these rows do not quantify.
03
Up to 78 mm in diameter with the neighbouring pockets occupied and up to 160 mm with adjacent pockets empty. Maximum tool length is 450 mm and maximum tool weight 10.0 kg. The chain magazine is offered with 42 to 196 tools.
04
Rapid traverse is 75 m/min in X, Y and Z. Acceleration is 11 m/s² in X, 11 m/s² in Y and 18 m/s² in Z. The chip-to-chip time is 2.4 s.
