Zimmermann has introduced the FZU22, a 5-axis portal milling machine for the machining of various workpiece shapes, sizes, and materials. It is suitable for processing aluminum, plastic, wood, and other substrates, as well as finishing carbon fibre-reinforced and other composite materials.

The overhead gantry provides precise production of models and molded parts, the company states. The standard machine includes a tool changer for 24 tools and a CNC from Siemens or HEIDENHAIN for full motion control and tracking. A 5-axis milling head with 15-kW spindle is suitable for machining contours and tight pockets in large molds.

The machine’s working range is 71 to 98 in. in the X axis, 118 to 138 in. in the Y axis, and 49 in. in the Z axis. A feed rate of 2,756 IPM in the X and Y axes is standard, while the acceleration on the machine is 118 to 197 in./sec2.
