SIP - Machines
SIP 5000 Series
The name SIP is synonymous with highest technical precision in manufacturing technology within the modern precision machine industry. SIP has always defined the benchmark when it comes to guaranteeing ultra precision over decades. SIP machining centers are in operation worldwide where quality and precision cannot be compromised in any way.

The 5000 series is designed to vertically manufacture high precision workpieces and is used in particular for the fine boring and milling of holes, edges and surfaces as well as for precision grinding. It is precise to 3μ and this with a repetitive position exactness of 1,5μ. In the basic range the SIP 5000 is designed as a 3-axis machine; but thanks to its modular concept it is also available in 4- or 5-axis models.

By the way:
At SIP, tolerances are not ascertained by soft, regional, Asian standards but are in accordance with the strictest metric ISO or VDI/DGQ standards.

Applications
  • In the precision machine industry every component tolerance has an effect on the achievable accuracy of the complete machining system. It is for this reason that the best machine engineers in the world trust the ultra precision of SIP for the manufacture of quality critical components.

  • Precision is a prerequisite for highest safetyin the aviation industry. For this reason safetycritical bore holes and surfaces must be precisely machined to within a 1/1000 mm (0,00004 inch). Special alloys that are hard to machine, as well as titanium are being increasingly used for these special parts and it is exactly here that the unrivalled strengths of SIP machining centers really pay off.

  • Today, it would be inconceivable to think of producing high performance and precision tools with lots of cavities, without SIP machining centers. Thanks to their perfect geometry, highest exactness can be guaranteed for the injection moulding process.

Machine concept
  • SIP offers you the possibility to perfectly attune your machining center to your individual requirements. Vertical and horizontal precision machines are available in 3-, 4- or 5-axis models.

  • The machine frame, cast as one piece from high grade cast iron (GGG80), guarantees top stability and long term precision. Its 3-point support does not require a special foundation and it will even maintain its volumetricefficiency rate on a slightly uneven surface.

  • Only top quality steel scales, produced in house, are used in SIP machining centers. This has the advantage that the unique precision of the machine, even with temperature fluctuations of up to 1°C per hour and 4°C per day, can be guaranteed.

  • The SIP range of high precision spindles, with highest accuracy, offers a solution for every application. For deep hole boring, SIP has a special spindle with precision quill. High speed spindles, with 30'000 rpm, and grinding spindles are also available with SIP centers.

  • Thanks to their V profile on one side, the roller guideways are completely friction free and can only expand parallel to the other relevant components and measuring systems - therefore guaranteeing precision. The precision-ground roller bearings ensure virtually frictionless movement. (P < 3 Micron bi-directional positioning VDI/DGQ or ISO standard).

  • At SIP, scraping is done by hand. Starting with the machine base to the linear guideways and ball screws, to the spindle heads and axis. This method bestows all our machining centers with perfect geometry and long term precision.
