The Heart of theMilling MachineWhat is the difference between asimple 3-axis milling machineand a high-end, 5-axis millingmachine for simultaneous machining?Exactly: the milling head.The heart of modern millingtechnology deserves specialattention. For every machiningoperation the performance, thematerials which can be machined,the removal rate and the surfacefinish all depend on the choiceof the right milling head. In addition,factors such as possiblemilling strategies, simultaneousmachining and the size of theworkpiece are all directly linkedto the milling head.An exciting subject and onewhich Zimmermann pays a lot ofattention to. For it is the strong,reliable heart which ultimatelydetermines the true value of amilling machine.All these criteria must naturallybe weighed up against theinvestment costs and the longterm return on investment.Head and heart in one:a Zimmermann milling head hasthe power and performance itneeds to be the heart of theportal milling machine. But –as befits any fine “head” – it isalso full of intelligence and goodideas.3
