Our best estimate for the Chiron DZ 12S is $400,000 - $525,000. This is an estimate for a vertical machining centers (vmc) in this class, not a quote from Chiron; configuration, tooling, automation and installation move the final price substantially. A specific price can be requested at https://machinetoolindex.com/machines/chiron-dz-12s#price; the request is passed to Chiron or an authorised dealer.
250 mm. Both spindles work at the same time over 550 mm of X, 400 mm of Y and 400 mm of Z, so the part plus its clamping has to be narrower than the spindle distance. Tool diameter, up to 85 mm, also has to clear the part on the neighbouring spindle.
Both have 550 × 400 × 400 mm travels and 75 m/min rapids. The FZ 12S has one spindle, with options from 12,000 to 30,000 rpm and 11 to 110 Nm on HSK-A40, HSK-A50 or HSK-A63, and 24 to 128 tools. The DZ 12S has two spindles, 15,000 to 24,000 rpm and 29 to 59 Nm on HSK-A50 or HSK-A63, and 2 x 12 to 2 x 104 tools.
It does not show in the figures on this page. The DZ 12W has the same 550 × 400 × 400 mm travels, 15,000 to 24,000 rpm, 29 to 59 Nm, HSK-A50 or HSK-A63 and 2 x 12 to 2 x 104 tools. Ask Chiron what distinguishes the two before choosing.
The chain magazine is offered from 2 x 12 to 2 x 104 tools, counted per spindle. A tool can be up to 85 mm in diameter, 250 mm long and 5.0 kg. Chip-to-chip time is 3.1 s.
