VH 1 –Perfectly SimpleHow light can a milling head be?That depends on the application!This extremely light milling headwas developed especially for theFZ 25 and FZ 15 portal millingmachines.Less is moreThe idea behind the developmentof the ultra light portalmilling machines is quite simple:Why use very heavy and massiveportal milling machines tomachine lightweight materialslike polyurethane? It makes nosense at all. Also the accuracyrequired for the typical applicationsof these machines is lessthan what would be technicallypossible. This is exactly thephilosophy behind the VH 1 millinghead. It is a true minimalist!Large volumesWhat is decisive when machiningpolystyrene, light plastics andhigh-resistance foam is usuallythe large volume of material tobe removed. Thus a dynamicmilling head is required which isspecially suited to the lightweightconstruction of the machine.accuracy and have a high structuralstiffness. With a systematiclightweight machine construction,a heavy milling head wouldhave the disadvantage ofcausing bending and torsion ofthe portal. The VH 1 is the perfectchoice. Thus especially with theFZ 25 extremely large workingareas can now be achieved.Fields of applicationParts made of polystyrene, blockboardor light plastics call forlightweight, cost-effective millingmachines. This market segmentis served by the FZ 25 and FZ 15milling machines. The appropriatemilling head is the VH 1.Working rangesLarge models made of lightweightmaterials mostly call forlarge working ranges. Maybe thesurface finish specified on such aspecialist machine is not quite ashigh as on a heavy machine but itstill needs to achieve the requiredFeaturesHARMONICDRIVEHarmonic driveWeight only 140 kg incl. spindleStandard spindle with 15 kW /12 Nm and 22 000 min -1MachinesFZ 25, FZ 1511
