5-axis machining center · built in Denmark
Unicorn 5-200 Modular
A compact 5-axis machining center built to stack. Start with one module, add robot loading when you need it, and grow to a lights-out cluster4 without discarding the machine you started with.
Placeholder line work · CAD renders and machining film replace this at build (C1)Full-scale prototype in build. Final castings due July 2026. Factory acceptance test scheduled for mid-August 2026.
Start with one module. Stack to eight.4
The machine is the building block of a production system. Each step keeps every module you already own.
One module
A compact 5-axis cell, 2250 mm wide, with flood coolant, tooling, and control included.
Add robot loading
A FANUC LR Mate cell docks to the module and feeds multi-cycle runs.
Cluster
Modules share tool, pallet, and material handling in one footprint.4
Run lights-out
Nights and weekends become machine hours, with no fences on the floor.3
Built for the hours you are not there
The robot cell keeps feeding parts after the crew goes home. The cell is designed to meet CE machinery requirements without physical safety barriers3, so it fits where a fenced cell will not.
The price is on the page
