Double-45° universal milling head with high torque, hydraulic clamping, ±190°/±360° rotation and ±2″ accuracy – maximum flexibility for 5-axis machining in tight spaces.
Heavy-duty double-45° head with high torque, hydraulic clamping, ±190°/±360° rotation and ±2″ accuracy – for demanding 5-axis machining with maximum reach.
Large universal milling head with high torque, hydraulic clamping, ±180° rotation and ±2″ accuracy – power density for large-part 5-axis machining.
The fork milling head has the ability to simultaneously position the cutter in space by controlling the A-axis and the C-axis at the same time. By combining the movements of the two axes, the fork milling head can position the cutter in any desired position in space, allowing complex and precise cuts on the workpiece. This type of milling head is particularly suitable for the production of complex tools and shapes where high precision and flexibility are required.
Ultra-compact 2-axis fork head with ±115°/±360° motion, ±4″/±2″ positioning accuracy and 1,000/2,500 Nm hydraulic clamping – ideal for high-precision 5-axis machining in tight spaces and lightweight setups.
Heavy-duty 2-axis fork head with ±110°/±360° motion, ±4″/±2″ accuracy and massive 3,000 Nm clamping torque – UHT DirectDrive motors deliver up to 1,410 Nm on both A- and C-axis for 5-axis machining under extreme loads.
Robust heavy-duty fork head with 110°/360° motion, ±5″/±2″ accuracy and 4,000/5,000 Nm clamping – perfect for demanding roughing and finishing in aerospace and heavy industries.
Ultra-rigid heavy-duty head with 110°/360° motion, ±2.5″/±2″ accuracy and 7,500/7,500 Nm clamping torque – engineered for maximum torque and precision in large-part machining and tough materials.
CYTEC HD machining heads offer maximum rigidity and torque up to 2,600 Nm for demanding applications. Innovative direct drives, powerful axis clamping and in-house spindle development ensure precision, reliability and dynamic performance – „Strongest of its kind.“
At the heart of every CYMILL milling head works a CYSPEED motor spindle, developed and manufactured in-house by CYTEC. The modular spindle kit covers 13 to 115 kW rated power (S1), rated torques up to 700 Nm – up to 1,200 Nm with planetary gear – and speeds up to 24,000 rpm, with HSK-A63, HSK-A100, SK50 and C8 tool interfaces. This in-house spindle development is a key reason for the precision and reliability of CYMILL heads.
Motor Spindle DataTorqueTec is CYTEC's German powerhouse for torque motor development and production. With over a quarter-century of experience and close collaborations with universities and research institutions, TorqueTec has achieved remarkable strides in power density and reduced heat loss. The complete production depth – from engineering and manufacturing to assembly and quality control – is conducted in-house, delivering the direct drives that give CYMILL heads their dynamics and precision.
