Unleash your full potential

The MIKRON MILL E 500/700 U is a dynamic, high-efficiency 5-axis machining center designed for job shops and part producers who need flexibility, reliability, and 24/7 productive autonomy. Built on a stiff cast iron C-frame with direct torque drive technology and a large swivel range from -65° to +120°, it handles a wider range of parts and materials than any other machining center in its class.

5-AXIS MILLING

Highlights

The benchmark of precision machining and agile productivity

Heavy-duty performance

With 120 Nm of torque, a stiff machine construction, and a double-supported rotary table, the MILL E 500/700 U delivers 10% more heavy-duty, precise, and dynamic milling, handling parts up to 450 kg without compromising on surface quality or accuracy.

Large swivel range

The swivel range from -65° to +120° gives the tool perfect access to any surface in a single clamping, enabling complex 5-axis geometries, undercuts, and multi-sided machining that would otherwise require multiple setups.

Direct torque table

Frictionless direct torque drives on both the rotary and tilting axes eliminate mechanical transmission elements, delivering no backlash, no wear, high dynamics, and repeatability within 10 µm for consistent precision across every cycle.

Automation ready

With integrated pallet automation, tool magazines up to 170 positions, and optional robot interface, the MILL E 500/700 U runs lights-out during nights and weekends, adding up to 16 additional production hours daily at minimal cost.

High-efficiency milling

All rotary tables on the MILL E 500/700 U are designed and manufactured in-house by MIKRON MILL. Frictionless direct torque drives on both the rotary and tilting axes eliminate mechanical transmission elements, delivering no backlash, no wear, high dynamics, and repeatability within 10 µm for consistent precision across every production cycle and every material.

Stiff machine construction

Built on a compact C-frame footprint, the MILL E 500/700 U maximizes workspace efficiency without sacrificing accessibility. The pivot-mounted control console, generously dimensioned pallet magazine door, and optimized chip flow design make daily operation, part loading, and maintenance faster and easier, keeping operators focused on productive machining.

High-quality Spindle

The MILL E 500/700 U is equipped with a high-performance STEP TEC spindle at 20,000 min⁻¹ with HSK-A63 interface, delivering 36 kW and 120 Nm of torque. The OptiCool design keeps the front bearing area cool while a heat barrier cooling loop prevents motor heat from reaching the spindle nose, ensuring thermal stability, high precision, and outstanding surface quality from roughing to finishing.
