Ultra-highspeed milling - for our demanding customers
GF AgieCharmilles presents newreference machines in 3-axis and 5-axis versions for high-speed andultra-highspeed milling.
Based on the concept of the presentHSM/XSM series, GF AgieCharmillesengineers have developed three newmachine models which represent
optimal answers to all aspects of 3-axis and 5-axis high-speed andultra-highspeed milling needs. TheHSM/XSM LP series (LP = Linear Per-formance) were designed for ultimateprecision and supreme surface quali-ty. The necessary design measuresfocus on the machine bed, cooling,axis drives, motion control and toolmeasurement.
These vertical high-speed machiningcentres, developed for tool and mouldmanufacturing as well as medium-and small-series production of high-quality parts, combine the Swiss ma-chine manufacturer's entire technicalknow-how and extensive developmentexperience.GF AgieCharmilles.

Chip managementMajor attention was paid to the chipflow. Steeply inclined chrome steelplates in the workspace promote thefall of chips.• No chip accumulation• Easy cleaning• Flushing system
Process optimisation with OSSThe larger a workpiece is, the more it weighs and the more machining timeand reworking effort it requires. The ability to decisively influence the time factor even after CAD/CAMprogramming is therefore all themore important. The OSS softwaremodule offers specially tailored toolcontrol to suit the machining task.• Precision: Precise path control
according to preset requirements • Speed: Cuts machining time during
roughing and pre-finishing• Surface quality: Reduces reworking
requirements after the finishingprocess
Direct driveThe direct drives in X, Y, Z, B and C permit direct translatory and rota-tional motions of the tool centre point(TCP) without rerouting via a mecha-nical transmission. • Short setting time • No oversteering through drive play
and elasticity • High dynamic rigidity of the attitude
control • Independent of slide position

Feed axis Reconciling dynamics and precision
Dynamics and precisionMechanical drive systems have a basicdisadvantage: a loss of precisionmust be accepted to achieve a highlydynamic configuration. This effect isnot relevant for customers in auxiliarymotions such as tool changing oraxial positioning. An HSC machinechanges the situation: During cuttingcontrol, high dynamics must be com-bined with great precision. This iswhere the linear direct drive showsall its advantages.
• Short setting time • No oversteering through drive play
and elasticity • High dynamic rigidity of the attitude
control • Independent of slide position
Advantages• Oustandingly precise, accurate
workpiece machining due to theextremely rigid drive and controlconcept.
• Excellent long-term precision dueto the reduction of friction-inducedwear by the direct drive and centraloil lubrication
• Reduction of main operating timesdue to extremely high dynamicparameterisation (OSS)
• Reduction of auxiliary times by highrapid-traverse speeds
• Reduction of maintenance andservicing, since the lack of ballscrew drives or transmissionsreduces the number of wearingparts.

Precision HSC core components: Thermal precision
Cooling conceptThe MIKRON HSM/XSM LP series ushers in a new era of precision cut-ting. Since high axis feeds over longperiods always heat the drive assem-blies, the MIKRON HSM/XSM LP se-ries beats the problem with an inge-nious cooling management system.Each of the linear axis as well as thecircular swivel unit have their owncooling cycles. The heat is thereforesystematically led out of the machineinstead of being distributed inside it.

Cooling lubrication through thespindle (IKZ)With IKZ you can bring the cooling lu-bricant with high process reliability tothe tool cutter. Differing tool diame-ters do not require new alignment ofthe coolant hoses.The purity of the lubricant is vital tothe life cycle of the spindle. A filtersystem is therefore essential.ICS machining with a high-perfor-mance chip conveyor and a filtersystem solves the problem.

High-Speed and High-Performance Milling CentersIn terms of cutting speed, HSM centers are 10 times faster thanconventional milling machines. Greater accuracy and a better surfacefinish are also achieved. This means that even tempered materialscan be machined to a condition where they are largely ready to use.One essential advantage of HSM is that with systematic integration,the process chain can be significantly shortened. HSM has developedalongside EDM into one of the key technologies in mold and tool making.
Electric Discharge MachinesEDM can be used to machine conductive materials of any hardness (forexample steel or titanium) to an accuracy of up to one-thousandth ofa millimeter with no mechanical action. By virtue of these properties,EDM is one of the key technologies in mold and tool making. There aretwo distinct processes – wire-cutting EDM and die-sinking EDM.
Laser ablationLaser ablation supplements and extends the technologies offered byGF AgieCharmilles. With our laser technology we enable you to producetexturizing, engraving, microstructuring, marking and labeling of 2Dgeometries right through to complex 3D geometries. Laser ablation,compared to conventional surface treatment using manual etchingprocesses, offers economic, ecological and design advantages.
