The CHIRON Group’s OPEN HOUSE 2025 in Germany – in person or virtually

The CHIRON Group OPEN HOUSE 2025 includes 1,500m² of exhibition space, 12 machining and turnkey solutions for all industries in live operation – including a world premiere for micromachining in a new dimension – and the dynamic and productive DZ 22 W speed+. In addition, 35 companies will participate in the partner exhibition, there will be a top-class lecture program with topics such as friction stir welding and gear cutting, plus attendees will hear presentations about services, automation, refurbishment, and digital solutions.

World premiere of the new must have for micromachining
See the Micro5 with a workpiece cube of 50mm, and the precision model FZ 08 S 5-axis with 250mm both for extended possibilities in demanding machining for medical and precision technology. Whether bone plates, knee inlays, dental blanks, or larger watch cases for chronographs, the CHIRON Group is “scaling up the successful concept in micromachining for new applications,” says Senior Product Manager Michael Wurster. “More traverse path, higher cutting performance, shorter cycle times, plus the proven advantages such as maximum precision, maximum dynamics, and optimum resource efficiency is the small revolution in micromachining that we started a few years ago that is now being continued in a logical manner.”

What is the name of the new machining center, and how does it relate to the machine's features? The professional audience can find out at the world premiere.

The name says it all: The new DZ 22 W speed+
With a spindle distance of 600mm, the double-spindle 5-axis machining center DZ 22 W is predestined for the complete machining of large components for series production in various industries. With the DZ 22 W speed+, the CHIRON Group is now presenting a new variant. Thanks to design modifications, the impressive productivity has increased up to 10%.

Michael Eble, head of engineering and responsible for the machine platform, quotes a few key figures: “A 20% increase in acceleration, a 40% improvement in jerk to reach maximum speed even faster after direction changes. And the new spindle with a ramp-up time of 0.5 seconds and chip-to-chip time of 2.0 seconds: The DZ 22 speed+ is the Formula 1 model of the 22 Series, so to speak. It consistently delivers top speed and brings this advantage safely to the finish line for our customers.”

Requirements and solution perfectly combined – further machine highlights
Plenty of power for precise machining of materials such as Inconel or titanium, combined with corresponding milling performance and dynamics, the FZ 19 S 5-axis shows how productive even series production can be on a single-spindle machine with a compact footprint. With 700mm travel in Z, the work area is ideally designed for 5-axis simultaneous machining of cubic and cylindrical workpieces. Another variant of the Series will be shown in the Interactive Showroom: the FZ 19 S mill turn which can also be used for turning applications.

The combination of milling, turning, and gear cutting with the MT variants of the 715 Series is also a perfect match for requirements such as higher part variance, further optimized workpiece quality and a convincing solution.

All machining operations can be performed on one machine in one clamping position. The result is significantly higher precision, the production processes are leaner, and the logistics lower.

Additionally, precision on its own account can be experienced at a special showcase: the FZ 16 S 5-axis manufactures columns for the Micro5.

Interesting alternatives to buying new
But what if investing in a new machining center is not the top priority at the moment, but the best manufacturing quality is? At the OPEN HOUSE, the CHIRON Group will provide information on several alternatives: a customized refurbishment of an existing machining center, a refurbished machine, or PerformanceFinance. The innovative complete package combines top performance – for example with a next-generation machining center from the 15 Series – with IoT analytics and maintenance by the CHIRON Group Service. All this at attractive monthly rates and a short term of 36 or 48 months.

For Matthias Rapp, vice president global marketing, the focus of the event is “of course the presentation of our innovations, but also the intensive, personal exchange. Times are challenging for all players, and our customers must focus on several goals at the same time. More flexible, more productive, more autonomous, more resilience are just a few keywords. This is exactly what we want to talk about, we want to listen carefully and identify solutions based on the specific requirements. Solutions that are future-proof and contribute to continued success in global competition.”

CHIRON Group will also offer the possibility to join this Open House virtually for the North American market. More details will be available soon on the company’s website.
