FZ 18 Series
Quick, Precise,Compact,
and Multifaceted


The impressive thing about the FZ 18 Series is the consistent realisation of a clear platform and modular strategy. The machines are available either with a fixed table or with a workpiece changing unit, with an NC swivel rotary table, with a basket changer and 20 tools or with the chain magazine with up-to 195 tools. Every user can invest in the machine which is optimally tuned to his specifications, which avoids unnecessary extra costs.

The highlight of the FZ 18 Series is th
e Long Bed model with up-to 236" X-Axis travel for extra long parts and efficient machining in the pendulum mode with multiple set-ups.

All Chiron machines are based on the vertical moving column principle and offer a series of advantages just from its basic design. The accuracy of the machine is independent of the workpiece weight, so that the highest possible accuracy is always achieved.
