• Good thermal stability through OCS• Excellent weight / performance ratio• Integrated intelliSTEP functionality
Incorporated into the HPC190 line is the well-
proven OptiCool principle that keeps the front
bearing area cool while the extra heat barrier
cooling loop keeps the motor heat away from
the Spindle nose. That results in a thermally
balanced Spindle thus assuring a high level of
precision, repeatability and surface finish.
The 36,000 rpm HVC150 Spindle is the opti-
mum solution for mold and die machining. It
reaches a superb surface finish thanks to its
great axial stability. Due to the specially cho-
sen bearing arrangement with two hybrid ball
bearings in the rear instead of the common
roller bearing system, this Spindle stands out
with very low dynamic axial growth. This pre-
cision bearing arrangement offers the best in
repeatability for machining operations.

The high-performance Spindles from Step-Tec are designed to do heavy roughing and Milling to best surface finish all in one. With a bearing design with three preloaded hybrid ball bearings in the front and a thermally robust hybrid cylindrical roller bearing on the back, you are guaranteed a super-rigid rotating system that enables Milling with extra-long tools reaching into deep cavities. Ramp up your chip removal, thanks the feed rates made possible by this solution’s absorption of high Milling forces at the tool tip.

MillingMikron high-speed (HSM), high-performance (HPM)
and high-efficiency (HEM) Milling centers
Customers operating in the mold, tool and die and precision compo-
nent manufacturing sectors stake their reputations on being able to
quickly and cost-competitively meet their customers’ demands.
That’s why they invest in GF Mikron machines. Incorporating the lat-
est and most advanced technologies and premium-performance
components, Mikron HSM, HPM and HEM machines help you in-
crease your production capabilities and improve your productivity.
Designed and built for speed, accuracy and reliability, the machines,

Liechti dedicated aerospace and energy machining centers
Aerospace and power generation turbine manufacturers increas-
ingly turn to Liechti dedicated five- and six-axis machining centers
to machine complex, high-precision airfoils on blades, disks, blings,
blisks/IBRs and impellers. It’s easy to see why because these ma-
chines, with their specific profile machining technology, specialized
CAD/CAM software and engineering competence for ultra-dynamic
machining in titanium, Inconel, nimonic, titanium-aluminide and
high-alloy steels, yield productivity gains as much as 30 percent,
thanks to reduced machining times. In the globally competitive aero-
space and power generation manufacturing sector, that’s definitely
worth shouting about.
Step-Tec Spindles
At the heart of every GF Mikron machining center is high-performance
Step-Tec Spindle. Step-Tec Spindles are essential core components of
our machining centers. Highly accurate and thermally stable Step-Tec
Spindles ensure that our machines can handle everything from
heavy-duty roughing to fine-finishing operations.
Tooling and AutomationSystem 3R Tooling, Automation and software
Productivity is the key to manufacturing success, and automating a
manufacturing process is a proven method of increasing its efficiency,
effectiveness, quality and reliability. System 3R’s integrated Tooling,
Automation and software solutions ranging from simple workpiece
pallet and electrode changers through to flexible manufacturing and
robot handling systems are guaranteed to help you increase their
competitive advantage.
Customer ServicesOperations Support, Machine Support and Business Support
To help you get the most and the best from your machine tools and
equipment, we offer three levels of support. Operations Support cov-
ers our range of original wear parts and certified consumables (EDM
wires, filters, resins, electrodes etc.) to ensure that your machines
are performing at the highest levels. Machine Support maximizes,
through our best-in-class technical support, preventive services and
quality spare parts, your machine tool uptime. Business Support is
designed to help you make a real step-change in your productivity
and performance with solutions tailored to your specific needs.
LaserAgieCharmilles Laser texturing machines
Laser texturing is a fully-digitized surface engineering process that
has huge potential. The technology enables precise 2D and 3D tex-
tures or engravings to be machined accurately and directly onto
complex parts or molds to improve and alter their aesthetic appeal,
functionality and performance. The process is infinitely repeatable
and offers many distinct environmental and economic advantages
over conventional texturing processes.
Laser Additive Manufacturing (AM)
GF Machining Solutions has partnered with EOS, the global leader
for high-end AM solutions, to integrate this innovative technology
and further develop it into its current solutions to fully benefit the
mold industry, by focusing on injection efficiency: optimized cooling
design to reduce cycle time, lower energy consumption, higher qual-
ity of plastic parts.
