It modernises conventional machines.

The TOP machine for manual and CNC operation with innovative FEHLMANN operating concept: handy, rapid and economical. The completely newly developed 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 very short initial training, operators are able to efficiently operate the machine even without previous programming knowledge. 

Even the basic model of this new FEHLMANN machine "Made in Switzerland" offers the features of a modern, highly productive milling machine, such as: fully digital Heidenhain control TNC 620, 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 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 and others.

Characteristics and Highlights: 

• Manual and CNC, for the economical milling and drilling of small batches and single parts. 
• FEHLMANN TOP-functions, the entirely innovative operating concept, allowing the machine to be used both for CNC controlled 3-axis machining as well as manual operation using drilling lever and handwheels.
• Efficient and rapid, even without programming knowledge. 
• Using the Heidenhain TNC 620 and the graphically supported cycles, complex parts are machined most economically. 
• High-performance and versatile with excellent cost/performance ratio. 
• Space saving, due to an ergonomic and compact construction.
