Ultra Precise Machining Centers

SIP 5000 / 7000

2 SIP Series

Traditional Precision.
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 product range comprises of
horizontal and vertical machining cent-
ers and jig boring machines in 3-, 4- and
5-axis models. The tried and tested
SIP range thus offers an optimal solu-
tion for every technical challenge – for
which even a 1/1 000 mm is of impor-
tance. For decades SIP has enjoyed a
leading position within the precision
machine industry, the ­aviation industry,
tool and mould manufacturing, as well
as the production of high performance­
motors.
Whilst the construction attributes
and the special, ultra precise machine
components certainly contribute to
the extraordinary precision of the
SIP Series 3
––
SIP technology, the proficiency of our
specialised Swiss staff is a prime key
factor. All critical surfaces are hand
scraped and thus belong in the highest
precision class possible. Although this
is a laborious and complex process
it is unequalled when it comes to preci-
sion and ensures an entire life span
of perfect geometry. A SIP machine is
an investment that pays off, maintaining
its value over decades.
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.

Perfection in Precision.
The higher the precision requirements of a workpiece, the more important
production accuracy compliance is. For this reason all SIP machines are
an industry standard for all high-tech applications.
SIP in the Precision Machine
Industry
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 ma-
chine engineers in the world trust
the ultra precision of SIP for the manu-
facture of quality critical components.
SIP in the Tool and Mould
Manufacturing Industry
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, high-
est exactness can be guaranteed for
the injection moulding process.
SIP in the Aviation Industry
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 1/1 000 mm. 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.

SIP in High Performance Engines
Sports and racing cars demand not only
manufacturing precision when it comes
to the production of high performance
engines, but also for the complete
powertrain and chassis. SIP ultra preci-
sion centers fulfil the highest precision
requirements in light construction.

Investment in Perfection.
SIP machining centers are not only famous for their unsurpassed precision,
but also for their longevity and long term accuracy. An investment in
SIP technology pays off over decades.
Flexible and Modularly
Interchangeable
SIP offers you the possibility to per-
fectly attune your machining center to
your individual requirements. Vertical
and horizontal precision machines are
available in 3-, 4- or 5-axis models.
Especially Stable, Low Vibration
Construction
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 s­ urface.
Wide Range of Precision Spindle
Services
The SIP range of high precision spin-
dles, w
­ ith 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.
All spindles have ultra precise ­bearings
with variable hydraulic bearing p­ reloads
and a concentrically arranged, highly ac-
curate high performance a­ syn­chronous
motor.
Unique Ultra Precise Measuring
System
Only top quality steel scales are used
in SIP machining centers. This has the
advantage that the unique p ­ recision of
SIP Series 7
––
the machine, even with temperature
fluctuations of up to 1 °C per hour and
4 °C per day, can be guaranteed.
Friction Free V and Flat Profile
Guideways
Thanks to their V profile on one side,
the r­ oller guideways are completely
friction free and can only expand paral-
lel 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).
State of the Art CNC Control
Two state of the art, worldwide proven
CNC control solutions are available
from Siemens or Fanuc; allowing the
SIP machines to be perfectly integrated
into existing production systems.
Unequalled Precision thanks to Hand
Scraping
At SIP, scraping is done by hand. Start-
ing 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.

Flexibility through Innovation.

SIP machining centers are put to use everywhere where ultra high precision,
within a 1/1000 range, is required. With both the 5000 and the 7000 series,
SIP can offer perfect solutions for even t­ he most challenging applications.

SIP 5000 series SIP 7000 Series

The 5000 series is designed to verti-
cally manufacture high precision work-
pieces 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 less than
2.5 µm and this with a repetitive posi-
tion exactness of 1.5 µm. In the basic
range the SIP 5000 is designed as a
3-axis machine; but thanks to its modu-
lar concept it is also available in 4- or
5-axis models.
