When materials become more difficult, tolerances tighter, and process reliability requirements higher, the 16 series is designed to meet both today's and tomorrow's production challenges. The series is based on a machine platform with a movable gantry, specially designed to combine high stability, precision, and flexibility. With single or twin spindles, high dynamics are combined with excellent surface finish when machining complex parts.
The modular design allows the machine to be configured individually according to specific requirements, regardless of whether the focus is on precision, productivity, or automated series production.
Specialized solutions for advanced machining
The FZ 16 S with simultaneous 5-axis machining has been developed for applications with very high precision requirements. The machine is particularly suitable for demanding machining tasks, for example in the aerospace industry, where components are often milled from solid blanks.
The DZ 16 W with workpiece changer is the first choice for high-volume production with very short cycle times. In combination with the Variocell UNO automation solution, even higher productivity and more autonomous operation can be achieved.
