Vertical milling machine D series

for aeronautics5-axis or more

Counting hundreds of satisfied customers world wide, the D218, D318 and D418 models of Fidia 5 axis high-speed milling centres have been recently renewed to keep granting the best return on investment upon machine size. The “D” family offers nowadays an enhanced cinematic delivering up to 22 m/min cutting speed; the new Z axis counter-balance system, together with active cooling system aboard nuts and Y axis motor, grants superior accuracy. Strongly reliable as usual, the machine structure, system layout and body design delivers high-level dynamic performance, while the proprietary 5 axes continue or 3+2 indexed heads and first class spindles confirms its versatility and its effectiveness. Forward-thinking solutions for demanding applications Fidia has been a firm believer in high speed milling and has dedicated years of continuous research to the development of machines that have successfully operated worldwide since the early 90s. Continued market growth confirms the validity of the choices made by Fidia. Whether it’s a 5 axes machining or a 3+2 indexed axes operation, high speed means high cutting speeds and fast spindle rotation. The resulting high axis feeds can only be maintained by specially designed machines in order to guarantee precision and surface quality simultaneously. An initial result is a reduction in machining and manual finishing times. But high speed also means being able to machine very hard materials and thus simplify production cycles avoiding those time consuming mid operations imposed by conventional machining. Designed for high speed machining, the D218, D318 and D418 applies for: finishing of plastics injection moulds and die-casting dies
