Mikron VX

Machining on 6 sides, from bar, wire or blank

The Mikron VX-12 is one of the world’s most accurate and flexible rotary transfer systems for the cost effective production of high-precision components on six sides.

It features full CNC capabilities with 12 workstations to handle varying batch sizes, and can accommodate workpieces up to 40 x 40 x 80mm (or 40 x 40 x 160mm with an optional upgrade).

It combines the advantages of "on wire machining" with the flexibility of a machining center and the accuracy and productivity of a transfer machine.

It allows complete machining on six faces, pre-machining directly on bar or wire (out of cycle, parallel to the main machining time), and clamping of the workpiece on the machined surface for subsequent operations.
 

Industries Benefiting from Mikron VX's Precision and Efficiency

Mikron VX-12 has proven to be beneficial for various industries:

The machine's ability to produce parts with the precision and accuracy required for high-tech devices makes it an indispensable tool in the electronics industries.

The medical industry also benefits from the Mikron VX-12, as it also requires high- precision and consistent components for various medical applications. Likewise, the watch and eyewear industry uses the Mikron VX-12 to produce its highly complex components.

Last but not least, the lock industry is also one of our customers.  There, the machine has proven itself equally as a reliable and efficient system.

All in all, the Mikron VX-12 is a valuable asset for all industries that require precise, flexible and efficient production processes.
