F. Zimmermann GmbH’s first horizontal machining centre, the FZH400 is particularly useful for efficient machining of standard components for the aircraft industry. The modular and compact machine has two newly developed features – the pallet handling and the water-cooled travelling column.
Unlike conventional designs where the deviation increases as the slide extends, the FZH400’s guide carriage distance increases which increases the rigidity with increasing penetration into the material. The stepped drive guide ensures a constant geometry along the Z axis.
The FZH400 also features an integral pallet handling system with pallet changing during machine time. The handling system enables reliable transport of pallets without sagging, making it suitable for long pallets.
