Chiron FZ 19S Mill-Turn

The Chiron FZ 19S Mill-Turn is a 5-axis mill-turn machining center from the 19 Series that brings Chiron's high-speed milling expertise to medium-size parts requiring combined milling and turning operations. Unlike the compact 08 Series, the 19 Series provides a substantially larger work envelope suitable for parts found in aerospace, energy, automotive, and general precision engineering.

The FZ 19S Mill-Turn features Chiron's vertical moving column architecture with a powerful milling spindle and integrated turning capability through a direct-drive rotary table. The machine delivers 5-axis simultaneous machining with the ability to switch between milling and turning operations within the same program. This eliminates the need to transfer parts between separate machines, reducing setup time, improving geometric accuracy, and shortening total production time.

Chiron motor spindles in HSK-A63 and HSK-A100 configurations are available, with various rotary table packages for different part sizes and turning requirements. The tool magazine accommodates up to 196 tools — the largest capacity in Chiron's mill-turn lineup — supporting complex parts that need extensive tooling for both milling and turning operations. Linear direct drives on all linear axes deliver the dynamics expected from Chiron, while the mineral-cast bed provides vibration damping and thermal stability.

New FZ 19S Mill-Turn machines price between $500,000 and $750,000 depending on spindle configuration, rotary table package, tool magazine size, and automation options. The machine competes with the DMG Mori NTX 2000, Mazak Integrex i-200, and Okuma MULTUS U3000. Chiron's advantage lies in its milling-first architecture with higher milling dynamics than traditional lathe-based mill-turn machines, making it ideal when milling operations dominate the cycle. Used units from 2019-2023 trade between $275,000 and $525,000.
