These ‘hybrid’ machining centers are built for high-speed graphite milling, hard milling, small hole drilling, and micro milling.
LEARN MOREEAGLE V9G (5-AXIS)
High-speed, high-precision 5-axis machining for large graphite electrodes, mold/die components, hard milling, and more.
The Eagle V9 is designed to be an ultra-rigid 5-axis vertical machining center with the capacity to handle a 1,100-pound workpiece on a 23.6” table surface. The Heidenhain iTNC-640 control unit is mounted on a moveable pedestal for optimal positioning convenience. The Eagle V9 is designed with a side opening in the casting to allow robot loading from either side with pallets up to 19.7” square.
If you’re looking for a robust, powerful tool that’s easy to access, operate, and fine-tune, all so you can better deliver top-tier products quickly and cost-effectively, then we have good news. The Eagle V9 might just be the flexible, functional 5-axis milling machine for you.
DESIGNED FOR THE LONG HAUL
- Featuring durable, high-rigidity internal components that can take a beating, the Eagle V9 offers superior performance with minimum downtime so you can stay productive and profitable.
BIG UTILITY IN A SMALL PACKAGE
- The Eagle V9 provides a large, easy-access work area in a small size that, combined with its powerful on-board CNC control, allows workers of nearly any skill level to create top-quality results without requiring much floorspace.
COMES WITH SUPPORT BUILT IN
- The Eagle V9 might look a little different than our other machines (the blue and yellow color scheme is a bit of a giveaway), but our highly responsive service department still knows it inside and out. You can always count on us to help keep you up and running.
CAPABILITIES:
- The Eagle V9 gantry-type 5-axis machining center is built and designed to be highly rigid and incredibly precise
- To achieve high rigidity and fine finish, the Eagle V9 employs a U-shape polymer concrete base, with B axis support and a high-quality rotary table C axis
- It is also equipped with 36,000-RPM integrated spindle, heavy-duty, roller-type linear guideways, and a dual gantry drive (two ball screws and two linear glass scales) in both the X and Y axis
- The Eagle V9 is capable of performing high-precision cuts with the X, Y, Z, B, and C axis moving simultaneously
- Inclined surface machining, spiral contour machining, irregular contour machining, and other complex cutting tasks can be made simple with the Eagle V9
- The Eagle V9’s B axis uses a zero-backlash gear drive while the C-rotary axis utilizes a direct drive motor, complemented with direct rotary encoders—this is superior to the conventional “worm gear” setup in drive transmission and power efficiencies
- Travels: X, Y, and Z: 31.5” x 23.62” x 19.69”
- Rapid Traverse: 1,181 in/min. (X, Y, and Z)
- Acceleration: 49 ft/s² (1.5G)

“The Eagle 800 has burn technology that gives us a competitive advantage because it takes about half the time to burn and uses fewer electrodes, which saves both time and money. Our goal is to run it all day and all weekend. I like that we also are cutting down on our carbon footprint by using fewer graphite electrodes and less copper wire than before.”
