The TOP machine for manual and CNC operations, the PICOMAX® 56 TOP
Modernizing conventional machining
The TOP machine for manual and CNC operation with the innovative FEHLMANN operating concept: handy, fast and economical.
The new generation of the PICOMAX 56 TOP features a modernized machine platform, optimized structural rigidity, and the latest control technology from the Heidenhain TNC7 family—delivering even greater precision, dynamic performance, and ease of use.
Another highlight of the new generation is the ability to load the tool changer from the front while the machine is in operation. This means that a feature already familiar from Fehlmann machining centers is now also available for the PICOMAX 56 TOP.
The precision milling and drilling machine PICOMAX 56 TOP (Touch Or Program™) is equipped with an entirely new operating concept, combining both CNC controlled 3-axis machining, as well as manual operation, using a drilling lever and handwheels.
Specifically designed to execute milling, drilling and threading tasks on single parts in a quick, reliable and efficient way without any time-consuming programming. After a short initial training period, operators are able to efficiently operate the machine, even without previous programming knowledge.
Even the basic model of this FEHLMANN milling machine "Made in Switzerland" offers the features of a modern, highly productive milling machine, such as: fully digital Heidenhain CNC control TNC7 basic, a cooled and high-torque motor spindle made by Fehlmann for universal milling up to 12,000 rpm, Z/S interpolated thread cutting, 3D milling, boring, etc...
Furthermore, the milling machine PICOMAX 56 TOP is upgradeable with various functional machine options, such as a FEHLMANN dividing unit for 4-axis operation, an automatic tool changer with 20 or 30 pockets, etc.
