The FZ42 CNC portal milling machine has a modular design which allows the combination of different operating ranges, travel distances, milling heads and CNC controls. The gantry construction makes it possible to machine components of all kinds. The machine table of the FZ42 is firmly anchored to the machine base, which means that workpieces do not have to be moved. The milling process is highly precise, regardless of weight and size.

The the structurally rigid portal, the cross- and Z-slides and the dynamic VH60 milling head, facilitate a consistent, efficient milling process. Thanks to its combination of high stability and rigidity this machine is able to meet all the requirements of model making, tool and mold construction, including the demands of the aerospace and automotive industries. It is also suitable for machining of workpieces in shipbuilding and the alternative energy industry. 

This design ensures outstanding temperature stability and possesses integrated oscillation and vibration damping for even greater milling precision. The A-axis is powered by a zero-play torque drive package, and the C-axis is powered directly by a torque motor. A liquid cooling system dissipates the heat from simultaneous machining. Both heads are suitable for milling aluminum, composites, steel and cast iron. 

Experience how close maximum mechanical accuracy comes to perfection. From portal milling machines in classic design to 5- and 6-axis gantry milling machines and horizontal machining centers, all Zimmermann milling solutions guarantee the highest quality and precision.

Our milling solutions make use of the optimum drive for the machine concept in question. The extremely dynamic and particularly low-maintenance rack-and-pinion drive provides excellent performance at a reasonable cost. All imaginable axis lengths are possible and cover an extremely wide range of applications. The classic among the drive designs is the ball screw drive. It is characterized by its high precision, low cost and outstanding economic efficiency. The linear motor is the ideal solution for applications involving largely stationary masses.
