Compact milling machine for versatile, modern 5-axis machining - equipped with spindles for speeds of 12,000, 20,000 or 30,000 rpm.

• Compact design, good accessibility and optimal view of the machining area
• Ideal for simple and complex 5-axis machining
• Small footprint, universal solution for a wide range of manufacturing tasks, low maintenance costs thanks to high-performance quality components 
• Simple and convenient operation from the front, with a constant view of the workpiece being machined 
• Travel: X 550 mm, Y 400 mm, Z 400 mm 
• Swing circle of Ø 500 mm offers a large space for clamping devices, thus expanding the range of applications
• Heidenhain TNC7 control with 19” touch screen, also designed for 5-axis simultaneous machining 
• Tool changing system: chain magazine for 60 tools 
• Swiss-made FEHLMANN quality: top service, high availability of spare parts and maximum reliability 

With its well-thought through and compact design, the 5-axis milling machine FEHLMANN PICOMAX 550 PRO may be automated at any time. As the automatic loading door is located on the right side of the machine, an automation system can be easily connected. The machining area is freely accessible from the front for setup work and process control, independently of the machine configuration. Depending on the number of pallets and the variety of parts, the system may be controlled and monitored by a pallet management integrated in the control unit, or via the flexible FEHLMANN MCM™ (Milling Center Manager). Thus, the FEHLMANN PICOMAX 550 PRO may be adapted to a wide variety of automation concepts - even if you do not decide to retrofit your machine until later on.

When the 8- or 16-hour shift per day no longer suffices... More and more frequently, 'time to market' is one of the most important 'survival' criterion for today's tool shops and parts producers. New products are developed and produced within extremely short time intervals. With the help of the latest information technology of the FEHLMANN MCM™ (Milling Center Manager), parts can be loaded and unloaded quickly and reliably - in an operator friendly way. In addition to the high quality of the part, key factors are unlimited availability, accessibility of the system during day shifts, as well as the safety of the process during ghost shifts (unattended operation with no or little staff). The FEHLMANN MCM™ offers you valuable support - proven time and again - meeting today's automation requirements and based on open industry standards. As the MCM software is a FEHLMANN in-house development, you can trust us to perform the support on the entire system.

Almost limitless possibilities - discover the FEHLMANN MCM™!

 

Fehlmann Milling Center Manager

The Milling Center Management system - an in-house development by Fehlmann - controls both machine and robot. Machining order, zero points, etc. are entered in a simple and clear job table (Windows surface). Via mouse click, the operator can change the machining order or single parameters during the system operation.
Keeping up flexibility even in automatic mode: without any trouble, a part can be fitted in. Thanks to the high operator comfort of machine and MCM, the Fehlmann solution is not only suited for series production, but is already efficient when producing only a few parts.
Tool breakage monitoring, NC program management, logging of system events, and a phone alarm (optional) via SMS sent to a preselected mobile phone number are just a couple of functions allowing for an unattended night or weekend shift.

The complete system from a single source

• The systems are commissioned and tested with the customer-specific configuration here in our works.
• We develop and produce the machine and MCM™. For parts handling, we use standard robots.
• With the systems shown above we offer proven solutions.
• To a large extent, we owe the practicality of our solutions to the many MCM™ customer suggestions and ideas - many of which were adopted in the standard solution.

Our machines are already equipped with all features required for high-accuracy machining.

Additional options are available, for example:

• High-pressure cooling system with coolant through the spindle and chip conveyor
• Various tool and part measuring systems (probe systems, laser ...)
• Integrated minimum-quantity lubrication for HSC machining
• Integrated zero-point clamping system and automation solutions
