Full service, repair, and kinematic calibration for the XYZ UMC-5X simultaneous 5-axis VMC. Siemens 840D sl control specialist — including trunnion alignment, spindle tram, TRAORI/TCP calibration, and CYCLE9960 kinematic measurement.
The UMC-5X is a gantry-frame simultaneous 5-axis VMC with a 600 mm front-loading trunnion table, 15,000 rpm in-line spindle, direct-drive C-axis, linear scales on all axes, and through-spindle coolant. It's a high-precision machine — conforming to ISO 10791 with ±5 µm positional accuracy and ±2.5 µm repeatability over 300 mm.
Common issues I see on the UMC-5X include A-axis pivot alignment drift after heavy cuts, C-axis centreline offset from minor collisions, and tram errors from the gantry frame settling over time. All are correctable with the right diagnostic approach — I carry a calibrated sphere and touch probe for kinematic verification using the Siemens CYCLE9960 measuring cycle.
Whether you need emergency breakdown repair, planned preventative maintenance, or a full 5-axis alignment check, I cover the UMC-5X across the UK. No fix, no fee on applicable jobs. I also handle the optional equipment — Renishaw RMP600 workpiece probes, laser tool setters, and 70 bar through-coolant systems.
