has the ability to simultaneously position the cutter in space. This is achieved by controlling the A-axis and the C-axis simultaneously. By combining the movements of the two axes, the Fork Milling head can position the cutter in any desired position in space, allowing for complex and precise cuts to be made on the workpiece. This type of cutter is particularly suitable for the production of complex tools and shapes where high precision and flexibility is required.
Backlash-free, contactless, and maintenance-free UHT DirectDrives on both axes deliver maximum precision, dynamics, and repeatability – even in complex 5-axis simultaneous operations, from heavy-duty machining of large components to the ultra-precise finishing of freeform geometries.
Fully automatic head changes in less than one minute: CYFIT media couplings and the CYTRAC clamping system with precision Hirth ring integrate multiple machining technologies on a single machine.

All power, media and control lines of the milling head dock through the C-axis interface: power connections for the spindle and A-axis motors, separate cooling circuits, cooling lubricant, sealing air and encoder signals – one clean, defined connection plate.
Every function has its precisely routed channel through quick couplings: motor cooling for A-axis (LH/RH) and spindle, spindle cooling, internal and external cooling lubricant, sealing air and air blast for the spindle, docking seals, blocking and venting ports, temperature control of the front bearing, plus power connections and rotary encoder lines for spindle and A-axis motors.

The slim S-Series fork milling head equipped with the optional suction device: chips and dust are extracted directly at the tool – for clean machining of composites, graphite and other dust-generating materials, and reduced contamination of the machine room.
allows precise machining of workpieces thanks to its compact design and its ability to reach both the lowest horizontal and the highest vertical machining space. It is ideal for horizontal machine tools in combination with a rotary table system and offers the best power density on the market. A high-torque mechanical transmission spindle handles even hard-to-cut materials.
The 45° swivel axis positions the spindle from horizontal to vertical machining in one setup – reaching both the lowest horizontal and the highest vertical machining space.
Compact design, hydraulic clamping and UHT DirectDrives with ±2″ position accuracy – ideal for horizontal machine tools in combination with rotary table systems.
With the CSG-76-300-S gear spindle (i = 3), up to 1,512 Nm are available directly at the tool – even hard-to-cut materials are handled with ease.
The optional Infinite Turning C-Axis for the milling head enables uninterrupted simultaneous machining for unparalleled accuracy and productivity.
Engineered for the highest demands, the Infinite C-Axis ensures superior results on the most challenging parts.
The 5X Precision Housing is the key element for maximum mechanical precision in milling heads. Manufactured as a single unit and directly integrated into the bearing, it guarantees exact axis alignment and eliminates positional deviations.
The A-axis swivel housing and spindle position are ground in a single setup, ensuring minimal tolerances. The result: outstanding accuracy, exceptional rigidity, and reliable top-level performance.
Dimensional accuracy stays stable under load – for consistent surface finishes and longer component life.
The CYTEC Technology Exchange Interface connects the C-axis to milling heads or other machining technology heads, enabling fully automatic head changes in less than one minute.
The safety-oriented, self-locking axis brake holds the head position reliably – even during pressure loss or an emergency stop.
Dual-channel sensing monitors lock states, and releases are only permitted under safe conditions. This prevents collateral damage and protects setup and service operations.
The 45° swivel axis positions the spindle from horizontal to vertical machining in one setup. The slim single-axis design reaches both the lowest horizontal and the highest vertical machining space – ideal for horizontal machine tools in combination with rotary table systems.
The 2x45° heads combine a continuous C-axis (±360°) with the 45° swivel axis – maximum flexibility for 5-axis machining in tight spaces, available as standard and heavy-duty (HD) versions with up to 2,290 Nm (UHT) on the C-axis.
With the CSG-76-300-S gear motor spindle (planetary gear, i = 3), up to 1,512 Nm are available directly at the tool – the power reserve that handles even hard-to-cut materials with ease.
From the compact M-Series 45° (410 kg) to the G-Series 45° with 4,300 Nm (UHT) and 5,500 Nm hydraulic clamping – one kinematic concept scaled across every machining class, always with ±2″ position accuracy.
