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.
