SHW introduces the first universal
milling head in orthogonal design
Page
Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein or Ferdinand Porsche – geniuses have always
been ahead of their time. Their inventions were often the basis for developments
which still lay far in the future. In 1963 Arnold Dassler, a developer at SHW, laid
the foundations for the milling head technology of the present day with the first
orthogonal designed, universal milling head in the world, thus leaving his mark on
modern machining.

Milling Head Competence Centre
Maximum expertise from the inventor of the
universal milling head in orthogonal design.
Our milling head competence centre is unique in the industry.
Over an area of more than 900 square metres we pooled all our
know-how about milling heads at our headquarters in Aalen.
Not only are the development, testing and manufacture of new
milling heads under one roof, but also overhauling and repair of
used heads are carried out in the competence centre.
State-of-the-art workplaces and the experience of 30 employees ensure that
each milling head – whether new or overhauled – exhibit the uncompromising precision you demand for your daily work.

Milling Head Testing Centre
Our testing centre – so that you can
demand the most from our heads.
Each milling head component has to undergo intensive inspections and testing prior to delivery to the customers. Thus you can
rely on the long-term high performance of our milling heads,
milling spindle units, headstocks and head change systems with
C-axis and power train.
We check:
• temperature performance of the bearings (spindle bearings, sprocket wheel bearings and roller bearings) to eliminate assembly faults and thus ensure a longer life,
• smooth running of the sprocket wheel assemblies to ensure the highest possible precision,
• all media lines in the milling head for leakage,
• all electronic signals in the milling head to ensure the highest possible availability.
During assembly of each milling head, the individual components
are perfectly matched and tested.
We check:
• the backlash and wear pattern of the sprocket wheels,
• the milling head bearing clearance,
• the concentricity of the milling spindle,
• the pressure resistance of all media,
• the clamping force of the tool,
• the adjustment of the drive chain and spindle bearings,
• the detectability of all electronic signals in the milling head.
The milling spindle is also subjected to a running-in and
temperature test. These tests are performed at specified speeds
and running times based on the appropriate MPn diagrams, in
order to display the temperature behaviour of the individual
bearings. In addition, the running of the sprocket wheel
assemblies is tested for noise.
Furthermore all milling heads are put through their paces in a
100 hours long, precisely defined machine test with integrated
swivelling programs.
All test and inspection results are documented in a comprehensive
test report which is handed over on delivery.

Universal milling head system for standard machines without head change
Maximum machining capacity
– our ingenious heads know no limits.
Versatility for more efficiency
Maximum machining capacity
The ingenious orthogonal design of our universal milling head
enables you to machine nearly every point on a complex workpiece
in a single set-up. Downtime can thus be kept to a minimum and
the efficiency of your system will increase significantly.
Versatility is a major reason for the on-going success of our
universal milling head. The milling head can be swivelled by
degrees through ± 90 degrees (A-axis) and the milling head
holder (C-axis) swivelled through ± 180 degrees, leading to
64,800 attainable positions in an imaginary half sphere.
Optimum force in all situations
Force and positive-fit connections ensure that the driving power
of the universal milling head is fully available and transferred in
every position.
Efficiency and highest precision
• Fully automatic milling head positioning, full drive
force available in all head positions
• A-axis ±90°, optional +90° / -110°
• C-axis ±180°
• 64,800 machining positions, optionally 72,000
• Highest indexing precision: ±3“
• Highest repeatability: 0.001 mm

Head change system
Our heads can be customized exactly
to suit your task.
With the SHW head change system you have the advantages of
different machine tools in one machine. The system not only
offers you a universal head change interface but can also be
used as infinitely variable C-axis which can be integrated as a full
NC axis in the machining program.
A modular design with different spindle lengths, tool interfaces
and axis lengths can be realised. This enables a cost-efficient
head individualisation using standard components.

Universal milling head in orthogonal design
There are many clever ideas in this head.
That’s the reason why we call our
universal milling head “ORTHOGENIUS”.
“Unique” – that’s what experts say about our orthogonal milling head time
and again. Since 1963 its technology has been setting the standard for
efficiency and highest precision.
Milling head clamping
• Force and positive fit connection through crown-geared rings
• A-axis: drawing-in force 140 kN, clamping torque 8 kNm
• C- axis: drawing-in force 72 kN, clamping torque 8 kNm
• The A-axis does not move out during swivelling. Due to its com-
pact design, no chips can get into
the milling head.
Lubrication
• Permanent grease lubrication of the spindle bearing protected by sealing air
• A-axis: Radial-axial bearing with
oil mist lubrication
• C-axis: Bearing in a needle band with permanent grease lubrication
• Cylindrical roller bearing and angular ball bearing with oil mist lubrication
• Spur and bevel gears with oil mist lubrication
Milling head cooling
• Temperature stability in all speed ranges, thus high geometric consistency
• All bearings of the power train are connected to the cooling system
• All types of milling heads are connected to the cooling system
Tool cooling
• Media: Cooling lubricant, air, minimum quantity lubrication
• External cooling: 6 ball nozzles in the nozzle ring
• Internal cooling: centrally through the milling spindle
• Pressure: 20 bar standard, optionally 40 or 80 bar
22
Compactness /
Design principles
• Compact design with no external
cables or hoses
• No external interference contours
• Plasma coated bevel gears, thus improved wear resistance
• C-axis contact surface laser hardened, thus longer service life
• Largest possible diameter of the crown gear, thus greatest possible rigidity
• Main spindle drive as direct drive,
ratio 1:1
• All rotating components are balanced, thus smoothest possible running
• Optionally 8000 rpm: Spindle bearing as hybrid bearing (ceramic ball bearings)
• No axial loading of the spindle bearings when tool is ejected increases service life
23

call for it, you can enhance your machining possibilities with
spindle extensions and angular milling heads. Turning tools in
combination with rotary tables enable turning operations and
relieve the spindle bearings as they are de-connected from the
milling spindle. The interfaces for turning are generally designed
with spur gears, milling centres without turning option are
provided with a plane supporting surface.
All auxiliary tools are designed to meet your individual requirements and manufactured in our competence centre. Thus our
