Compact vertical machining centre
July 1st 2009

CNC Heads combines engineering technology with hands-on race experience to design, replicate and manufacture cylinder heads for race and road cars.

The manufacturing process uses an XYZMini Mill 560 compact vertical machining centre, with the resulting machined finish described by CNC Heads as 'superbly smooth, visually and to the touch'.

The concept behind the XYZ Mini Mill 560 is a compact VMC configuration capable of machining the widest possible range of components within the smallest possible footprint. Hence the 560 (X) by 400 (Y) by 500mm (650mm optional) (Z) working envelope that is contained within a 2000 by 2060mm footprint.

The standard machine weighs 3100kg, with its Meehanite ribbed cast iron construction ensuring that full use can be made of the 15hp (11 kW)/8000 rev/min (12,000 rev/min optional) BT 40 spindle.
