Engineering Architecture of Falcon / Chevalier Metalworking Machine Tools

Founded in 1978, Falcon Machine Tools Co., Ltd. (operating globally under the Chevalier brand, TWSE code 4513) engineers high-precision CNC grinding, turning, and milling machines across manufacturing plants in Taiwan and the United States (Chevalier Machinery Inc.).

The equipment portfolio spans four core lines: SMART IV and FSG-ADIV+ precision surface and profile grinders, FSG-DC double-column and FRG-S rotary surface grinding machines, UNi5X-400 5-axis and QP-L vertical machining centers, and FCL/FVL horizontal and vertical CNC turning lathes.

Structural frames are manufactured from stress-relieved Meehanite iron to maintain thermal stability and micron-level geometric repeatability.

Selecting Between SMART IV Conversational Profile Grinders and FSG-ADIV+ Series

Choosing between the SMART IV and FSG-ADIV+ surface grinding platforms depends on profile complexity and batch automation requirements.

The SMART-818/12/16IV and SMART-20/24IV series (such as SMART-B818IV with a 200 x 460 mm table and 210 kg load rating) feature the proprietary SMART iControl CNC and TaskLink+ graphical programming, enabling multi-step slot, step, and contour form grinding with automated wheel dressing compensation.

Conversely, the FSG-12/16ADIV+ series (300 x 600 mm table, 230 kg capacity) with iSurface PC-based control and ISO 14955 energy certification is optimized for high-efficiency flat surface grinding in toolrooms and production lines.

Heavy-Duty Double-Column FSG-DC and Rotary Table FRG-S Grinding Solutions

Large stamping dies, machine tool beds, and aerospace structural components weighing up to 3500 kg require the stationary-beam double-column architecture of the Falcon / Chevalier FSG-DC, FSG-60DC+HV, and FPG-DC series.

In the FSG-4060DC configuration (1000 x 1500 mm table, 1400 mm distance between columns), patented elevated guideways isolate the linear roller ways from grinding swarf while iSurface control maintains constant wheel surface speed.

For circular workpieces such as bearing rings, semiconductor wafers, and pump rotors, the FRG-400S/600S/800S/1000S rotary grinders utilize Ø400 to Ø1000 mm electromagnetic tables spinning at 10 to 150 rpm.

Multi-Axis Milling Performance on UNi5X-400 and QP-L Vertical Machining Centers

Falcon / Chevalier milling technology addresses both 5-axis complex contouring and high-volume 3-axis production machining.

The UNi5X-400 5-axis vertical machining center incorporates a high-precision Ø320 mm rotary-tilt table accommodating workpieces up to Ø400 x H350 mm and 100 kg across 750 x 600 x 500 mm X/Y/Z travels, eliminating multi-setup positioning errors on impellers and mold cavities.

For general die-and-mold and structural component milling, the QP-L series (including QP2033-L with a 1000 x 510 mm table, 500 kg load capacity, and 850 x 530 x 510 mm travels) combines rapid feed rates with rigid spindle head guidance.

Horizontal Flat-Bed FCL Lathes vs. FVL Heavy-Duty Vertical Turning Centers

The turning machine range from Chevalier-Falcon is structured around workpiece geometry and length-to-diameter ratios.

FCL-18/21/25/30/32/40 multi-function flat-bed CNC lathes (such as FCL-1840 with 460 mm swing over bed, 1000 to 1500 mm center distance, D1-6 spindle nose, 56 mm spindle bore, and 25 mm / 40 mm X/Z ball screws) support manual, teach-in, and full CNC modes for shafts and small-batch repairs.

For heavy disc-shaped parts, hubs, and non-circular pistons, FVL-8/12/20/24 and FVL-8P/15P vertical turning lathes utilize gravity-assisted workpiece seating on 8-inch to 24-inch chucks backed by 100 mm bore spindle bearings.

iMCS Smart Manufacturing Integration, Auxiliary Systems, and Replacement Parts

To support automated factory cells, Falcon / Chevalier equips its CNC grinders and machining centers with the intelligent Machine Communications System (iMCS) for real-time monitoring of spindle load, cycle completion, and maintenance alerts.

Machines can be configured with dynamic wheel balancers, overhead parallel or profile dressers, magnetic and paper-band coolant filtration units, and in-process touch probes.

For installed machines worldwide, replacement spindle cartridges, preloaded ball screw assemblies, Turcite-B guideway liners, turret assemblies, and CNC control modules are matched directly by machine model and serial nameplate.
