en.Wedoany.com Reported - Zimmermann will exhibit the FZU22 five-axis gantry milling machine at the IMTS (International Manufacturing Technology Show) in September, designed for lightweight machining applications of large structures.

With the FZU22, Zimmermann introduces a machine capable of processing a wide variety of workpiece shapes, sizes, and materials, including aluminum, plastic, wood, and other substrates, as well as finishing carbon fiber reinforced and other composite materials. The overhead gantry structure enables precise machining of models and mold components.

The standard machine is equipped with a 24-tool changer and a Siemens or Heidenhain CNC system for full motion control and tracking. A specially developed five-axis milling head with a 15 kW spindle can mill complex contours and compact cavities in large molds.

The FZU22 offers a wide working range: X-axis from 71 inches to 98 inches, Y-axis from 118 inches to 138 inches, and Z-axis at 49 inches. Feed rates for the X and Y axes are standard at 2,756 inches per minute, with machine acceleration up to 118 inches per second² to 197 inches per second². The compact footprint is only 11 feet by 15 feet, requiring minimal foundation preparation. The machine provides ISO 230-2 accuracy and is available with a variety of milling head options.

Optional equipment includes a touch probe, tool measurement system, work area guard, tool changer, chip conveyor, oil mist/dust extraction system, minimum quantity lubrication system, and vacuum system. The machine to be showcased at IMTS also features an ultrasonic system for cutting aerospace insulation materials. Zimmermann's booth is located on the third floor of the South Building, booth number #339336.
