MINIFIVE

Specifically designed for machining sintered materials and precious metals, Autoloading Minifive stands out for its inverted architecture, studied to guarantee maximum cleanliness and protection of mechanical parts. I

n this configuration, chips and machining fumes are suctioned from below, avoiding any contamination of the guides and internal components, resulting in increased precision and durability over time. It is an ideal machine for medium and high series production in highly specialized sectors such as small parts, watchmaking, medical, and precision micro-mechanics. 

Thanks to its rigid and compact structure, it ensures stability even in the most delicate and repetitive machining operations. The self-loading version can be configured with various service systems, automatic or robotic, chosen based on production needs and the type of part to be machined. 

The result is an autonomous, clean, and reliable work cell, capable of combining productivity, precision, and operational continuity in a single technological solution.

Part self-loading: precision and total autonomy

The Minifive integrates a unique self-loading system in which the spindle itself picks up, translates, rotates, and positions the part in complete autonomy.

Thanks to rapid movements and extremely high precision in position and timing, the component is brought exactly to the correct condition for machining, eliminating external handling and drastically reducing cycle times. A system that combines flexibility, repeatability, and absolute reliability.

Structural rigidity for extreme machining

The Minifive is designed with a highly rigid and stable structure, intended to face absolute precision machining. 

The continuous 5-axis architecture guarantees total control of geometries and maximum stability even with extremely small diameter tools. 

In the reference project for naval injectors, the machine demonstrated it could maintain precision and repeatability even in extremely critical machining conditions.

Top-down movement: protection and total recovery

Top-down movement represents a fundamental technical and productive advantage. This configuration allows for the machining of sintered materials while avoiding contamination and wear on the sliders, preserving the machine's precision over time.

In the case of precious materials, such as gold, top-down machining allows for the complete recovery of chips, maximizing the value of the material and ensuring a clean, controlled, and efficient process.
