A machining center of the CHIRON 08 Series is among the most versatile machine tools in the compact class.

All models are high-performance centers, which can be set up quickly and are easy to operate, very stable, highly dynamic and low-maintenance. Thanks to the modular structure, there are numerous configuration possibilities. This allows us to customize any 08 Series basic machine to your needs to achieve a perfect individual solution for you.

CNC cutting with low unit costs
A machining center of the 08 Series can be configured with a single spindle, with two spindles, as a MillTurn variant for simultaneous turning and milling and as an MP version for processing profiles.

Your benefit in a compact space: CNC cutting at low unit costs at high processing quality and unique speed.
