GF Machining Mikron MILL E 1000 U

The Mikron MILL E 1000 U is a 5-axis machining center for large parts, listed with 1,000 × 1,150 × 900 mm of travel and spindles of 15,000 or 24,000 RPM on HSK-A63, or 10,000 RPM on HSK-A100. GF Machining Solutions does not show it in the current Mikron lineup; anyone considering one is looking at a used machine.

Linear feed is listed at 15 m/min, with 32 m/min as the S6 option. That gap is large enough that the option is worth checking on any machine offered: on a 1,150 mm Y stroke, positioning moves at the base figure take noticeably longer. The tilt axis covers +16 deg / -120 deg with HSK-A63 or +16 deg / -110 deg with HSK-A100, and C turns n x 360 deg continuously. The listed control is Heidenhain TNC 7 or Siemens SINUMERIK ONE; on an older machine, check which control and software version is actually installed.

The listed figures also include rows that belong to a bigger machine. A second travel row reads 1880 x 1400 x 930 mm, the load row reads 4000 kg milling / 2400 kg turning, and the table and spindle rows describe a T-slot table radial Ø1500 mm for Simultaneous Turning with a 12'000 rpm HSK-T100 spindle. Those are the figures of the Mikron MILL E 1900 U ST, not of a 1,000 mm machine. The magazine row, HSK-T100: 30 / Tower 90 / 130 / 175 pockets, may come from the same source.

For a purchase decision, rely on the 1,000 × 1,150 × 900 mm envelope and the spindle options, and have the seller confirm table size, load rating and magazine on the machine itself.
