Powerful solution for 3- to 5-axis precision machining – versatile, productive and compact

The PICOMAX 75 impresses with high precision, best rigidity and optimum energy efficiency. A faster tool magazine with loading from the front during machining, a compact, space-saving design as well as FEHLMANN-typical, outstanding ergonomics are just a few features of this efficient production machine.

Application / Field of use

High-precision 5-axis milling while still comfortably fixing and machining plates and devices directly on the table: this robust built machine can be used universally and is particularly suitable for efficient precision parts manufacturing, such as for medical technology, aerospace, optical and electronics industry, mold and fixture construction – i.e. in all industries requiring highest precision, excellent surface finish and high cutting capacity. The optional workpiece handling systems are extremely compact and can be configured differently depending on the application, allowing both large and small batches up to single pieces, to be produced in unmanned shifts. The machine is easily accessible from front, even with automatic workpiece loading. The unobstructed chip flow is guaranteed by an optimized machine bed form and a standard bed flushing.

Machine design and construction for highest precision

The new stiffness-optimized machine structure in vertical-column design with integrated coordinate table and the large-dimensioned linear guideways as well as precision direct measuring glass scales with compressed air on all axes guarantee "jig boring machine quality". Fully digital drive technology for maximum dynamics and productivity. The mounting surfaces of the machine’s structural parts are scraped and therefore guarantee best possible geometries. The design is characterized by high rigidity, excellent access, minimum space requirements, thermal stability and comfortable, flexible user ergonomics.

5-axis machining without accessibility problems

Machine construction, Z-axis travel and geometry have been designed for working with FEHLMANN dividing and swiveling units. This combination ensures best access and precision in 5-axis machining. The FEHLMANN dividing and swiveling unit ATS 200 has direct position measuring systems in the swiveling and dividing axes, enabling for example optimal 5-axis machining of cubic parts. Due to the 5-axes FEHLMANN alignment cycles, the ATS can also be repositioned and aligned automatically at any time with high precision. The PICOMAX 75 was designed from the beginning as 5- and 3-axes machine, thus no restrictions on traverse paths are guaranteed. The clamping surface was designed in a way that a tailstock could be readily set up and the ATS can be used as a pure 4-axis solution for long workpieces.

Modular expansion

If required, the PICOMAX 75 can anytime be upgraded with a workpiece automation or 4th/5th axis.
