PICOMAX® 56L TOP

The CNC machining center PICOMAX 56 in L version - even more flexible and versatile

Modernizing conventional machining

 

The TOP machine for manual and CNC operation with the innovative FEHLMANN operating concept: handy, fast and economical.

The machining center PICOMAX 56 L TOP (Touch Or ProgramTM) is equipped with an entirely new operating concept, combining both CNC controlled 3-axis machining, as well as manual operation, using a drilling lever and handwheels. 

 

Specifically designed to execute milling, drilling and threading tasks on single parts in a quick, reliable and efficient way without any time-consuming programming. After a very short initial training period, operators are able to efficiently operate the machining center PICOMAX 56 L TOP, even without previous programming knowledge. 

Machining center with larger clamping surface

The L Version has extended X travel of 800 mm, compared to the standard model, and a clamping surface of 1400 x 480 mm. Extra long workpieces can be machined in a single step without repositioning. More possibilities are available for 4-axis machining with a dividing unit. Thanks to the increased distance between the dividing unit and tail stock, longer workpieces can also be machined efficiently.

Even the basic model of this machining center (CNC) "made in Switzerland" offers the features of a modern, highly productive milling machine, such as: fully digital Heidenhain controls TNC 620, a Fehlmann cooled and high-torque motor spindle for universal milling up to 12'000 rpm, Z/S interpolated thread cutting, 3D milling, boring, etc.

Furthermore the PICOMAX 56 L TOP is upgradeable with various functional machine options, such as a FEHLMANN dividing unit for 4-axis operation, an automatic tool changer with 20 or 30 pockets and more.
