The Mikron HSM 400 Machining Center is one of the most advanced five-axis CNC machines in the world, designed and manufactured by AgieCharmilles. It has been developed to produce parts with exceptionally high precision and quality. This machine is particularly suitable for machining components with complex geometries that require tight tolerances, superior surface finishes, and geometric stability over long production periods.
The simultaneous five-axis motion allows the tool to approach the workpiece from multiple angles and perform operations in a single setup — eliminating the need for repeated manual repositioning of the part.
This machining center is widely used across high-precision and high-technology industries. For example, in the aerospace sector, it is employed to manufacture intricate components such as turbine blades and fluid-handling parts with extremely tight geometric tolerances. In the medical industry, it is used to produce implants, surgical tools, and precision medical equipment. In industrial mold making, especially for high-detail plastic injection molds, as well as in watchmaking and micromechanics, it enables the production of ultra-small and precise parts.
Among the key advantages of the Mikron HSM 400 are its exceptional precision, high machining speed, and outstanding surface finish. The high-speed spindles (reaching over 40,000 rpm) allow for efficient material removal with excellent surface quality in a short time. The advanced CNC controller and automatic tool changer (ATC) minimize machine downtime and increase overall productivity. Its robust mechanical structure and highly accurate cooling system ensure thermal and geometric stability even during prolonged operation.
Ultimately, using this machine leads to fewer production steps, greater accuracy, reduced human error, and shorter lead times. Although the initial investment cost of such a machine is high, the return on investment (ROI) is achieved quickly thanks to reduced waste, enhanced part quality, and the ability to produce complex components in a single process. For these reasons, the Mikron HSM 400 is a smart and strategic choice for companies engaged in precision manufacturing that seek to enhance their global competitiveness.
