The Zimmermann FZH event.

High performance machining of structural Aerospace parts.
14th November in Neuhausen, Germany

Where

F. ZIMMERMANN GMBH
Bernhäuser Straße 35
73765 Neuhausen a.d.F.
Germany

When

Thursday 14th November 2019 – 8:30am – 5pm

Who

This invite-only event has been created specifically for companies involved in the manufacture of structural Aerospace parts.

 

Highlights

  • Demonstration of the advantages of the ABC head and it’s elimination of the c-axis poling associated with pocket machining
  • Introduction of the 125kW head and a demonstration of the impressive material removal rates achievable
  • Machining cross-holes on rib components without the use of angled heads
  • All of this in a machine that requires no bespoke foundation!

The Zimmermann FZH.

German manufacturer Zimmermann has introduced a new horizontal-spindle machining centre (HMC) for the efficient production of structural components in the aerospace industry.

The horizontal-spindle head has three CNC axes, therefore offering extra versatility with 2-axis heads for executing complex programs. Movement of ± 110 degrees in the A-axis, ± 225 degrees in the C-axis and the increase of ± 14 degrees in the B-axis removes the risk of singularity errors in cutter paths, without the need for avoidance algorithms. This means high productivity, exceptional surface finish and dimensional accuracy is maintained.
