We improve your productivity. That’s a promise
At Unisign, we believe we can improve the productivity of manufacturing companies worldwide. How? By performing machining operations faster, more efficiently, more accurately and more cheaply on our CNC machines. We don’t only believe this… we guarantee it. What’s more, we commit to our promise to improve your productivity in writing. It’s a binding condition for us to work together.
Unisign develops, manufactures and supplies a wide range of CNC machines with a portal for machining metal products. The machines in our Uniport series are particularly suitable if you need to machine large components from more than one side. Our CNC machines offer you the flexibility to do this rapidly and accurately.
We don’t simply configure a machine for the products you are manufacturing now, we look further ahead and consider what you might require in the near future. Perhaps you will need 3 axis or 5-sided machining or 5 axis simultaneous milling. Whatever your situation, we will help you make these and other choices when configuring your CNC machine.
Flexible all-rounder
For OEMs in the metalworking industry flexibility is extremely important. This makes the Uniport 4000 the ideal gantry style machine for a whole range of applications, particularly for large and relatively flat components. This compact travelling bridge CNC machining centre is the smallest portal machine in our range and has a stationary machine bed and a movable bridge. The rigid construction and double cross rail ensure high stability. Options include split work zones for pendulum machining, an extra fast spindle for high-speed cutting, and more tool pockets.
Specification
Powerful all-rounder
The Uniport 6000 is the ideal choice for multi-sided manufacturing of large components in the most economical way. It is available in gantry configuration or as a moving table with pallet changer. The high vertical clearance and an optional carousel turning station address even the most challenging workpieces. The choice of machining heads enables milling, drilling, tapping, turning and even grinding and rolling – all in a single, small footprint machine.
Specification
True flexibility
The HV (horizontal/vertical) variant of the Uniport 6000 is a truly cost-effective choice for 5-axis machining of large components. In addition to its generous daylight opening, the Uniport 6000-HV features a tilting nutator head. This can travel through an angle of 100°, going from a vertical plane to 10° over the horizontal, making it possible to adopt even the most extreme machining angles. Coupled with outstanding price/performance, this compact portal machine is a must if you’re looking for true flexbility.
Specification
For milling operations on metal products with a limited width, Unisign has developed two vertical CNC machining centres: the Univers 6000 and the Unipro 5-L. These CNC machines with moving column are powerful all-rounders when it comes to milling. Which of these two comprehensive milling machines can provide the most added value for your production process will depend on several factors.If you process long products with modest width, then our CNC machines with moving column are ideal. And in this sense, ‘modest’ is a relative dimension. These CNC machining centres can easily handle products up to 1 metre wide. Of course, if your products have larger width dimensions, we will be happy to explore our other options. Also, as far as length is concerned, there are hardly any restrictions. You will be pleased to know that our vertical CNC milling machines can handle products as long as 10 metres or more if required.
Handles the big stuff
Particularly suited to heavy machining of work pieces up to 8 metres long, the compact Univers 6000 combines high accuracy with a large work envelope. The unique right angle head allows for multi-sided machining to increase production flexibility. The sizeable working area can also be divided into two work zones for pendulum machining. Uniquely, the vertical main spindle of this travelling column machine can be gearbox driven, bringing increased torque of up to 1.000 Nm. This makes it possible to mill toughened materials and use larger tools.
Specification
Fast, accurate contouring
For OEMs looking for a flexible manufacturing solution, this is the answer. The Unipro 5L is a powerful machining centre with a large work envelope and can machine in 3 or 4 axes. Its high speed in combination with excellent contouring accuracy make it ideal for producing long, precision parts as well as complex integrated structural components. It has an innovative machine cooling system that produces extremely high thermal stability. And it features high-resolution direct position measuring systems in all axes.
Specification
When milling and turning are integrated in one CNC machine, one of the two operations often remains predominant. You will find many CNC milling machines with turning functionality added and conversely, many CNC lathes with milling functionality added. With our multitasking CNC machines you get the best of both worlds: high-quality and high-capacity milling and turning operations are carried out by one and the same machine, where both operations are in balance.At Unisign we don’t like making concessions. Which is why we have created a series of CNC machines that can perform milling and turning (including drilling) operations with high capacity and accuracy. Whether you select our Uniport 7000-MTC, Unicom 6000, Unicom 7000, Unicom 7000-XL, or our Uniport 6000 or 7000 with an integrated carousel station will depend on the dimensions of your metal products. But your choice will also determine the way you want to work. Would you prefer to change and clamp products on the machine manually, or would you rather leave this to an automatic pallet changer?
Quality and productivity
The UNICOM6000 is a multi-task machining centre that combines quality and
productivity. It is capable of performing milling, drilling and vertical turning
operations with ease. This workhorse machine has the distinct advantage of a ram
design that allows ‘plunging’ inside the component with short turning tools. It
can be equipped with several machining heads, which are stored in designated
pick-up stations. For horizontal machining operations, an indexable right
angular head is available and to create even further flexibility, a universal
head with B- and C-axis can be integrated. The automatic pallet changer reduces
loading times and ensures a high uptime to boost productivity. Even with its
focus on output, this machine makes no compromise on accuracy.
Specification
More productivity
More capacity and more clearance in the working envelope…the Unicom 7000 is all
about achieving more productivity for larger components. Like its brother – the
Unicom 6000 – this multi-task portal machine delivers the output without
sacrificing the quality. What makes it different from the 6000 is that the
standard configuration includes a vertical carousel station and pallet changer,
and allows for much bigger pallet sizes. With fewer setups and shorter lead
times, this extremely accurate machine is a favourite for taking on big work
pieces in high output manufacturing.
Specification
Short lead times
When you need the flexibility of mill-turn operations on both single part and series production, choose the Uniport 7000-MTC. This multi-task machine achieves extremely short lead times and very high accuracy, and is ideal for quick-response manufacturing. A high-rail gantry machine with a travelling bridge and stationary carousel turning station, it is built on our most flexible machine platform. It will perform 5-axis machining within a large working envelope, making it a truly cost-effective production choice for a wide range of applications. The innovative ‘box-in-box’ construction guarantees superb rigidity and very stable and accurate production processes.
Specification
Big advantages
This extra large capacity machining solution for turning and milling really big parts offers more clearance in the Y-axis and can be stepped up in the X-axis to 5 metres. Like the Unicom 7000, this multi-task portal machine manages to deliver high output without sacrificing accuracy or quality. The standard configuration includes a vertical carousel turning station, head changer and pallet changer for big pallet sizes. With less handling and fewer setups lead times are shorter, boosting productivity of extra large work pieces.
Specification
When you procure a new CNC machine for machining metal products, you naturally look at the operations you want to perform on it. And it goes without saying that you want to process your product as accurately, quickly and as efficiently as possible. Depending on your specifications and requirements, you will select a specific type of CNC machining centre. But there are also situations in which your product requires a CNC machine to be developed from scratch. We start with a clean drawing board to create a CNC machine specific to your product and industry. At Unisign we have considerable experience building dedicated CNC machining centres for the aerospace industry and for the truck industry.At Unisign, we don’t allow ourselves to be limited by the CNC machines we already have as ‘standard’ in our product range.

Our UNIAXLE is a revolutionary new CNC machine for machining welded and cast truck rear axles!
You can machine complete truck rear axles in just one set up on ONE single machine. It’s faster, more accurate and saves you money. You won’t need so many different machines, thus saving space on the shop floor. The UNIAXLE CNC machine is universal and can machine a wide variety of rear axles.
The UNIAXLE CNC machine is unique: with a cutting tool rotating around the rear axle. The turning head we use is an innovation from our own R&D department. With this innovation we found the ideal balance between accuracy, speed and flexibility.
In addition to the unique head, this CNC machine also has a milling spindle. All turning and milling operations on the rear axle are carried out at the same time. Another advantage is the rotation unit which turns the rear axle through 90 degrees so the milling spindle can also machine the rear axle banjo.
A production line with multiple machines requires many different operations. The frequent lifting, moving and setup operations influence the lead time as well as the accuracy of the machining. Single clamping means greater process reliability and a significant reduction in changeover times!
We have established a world leading position in front axle machining. Truck manufacturers and suppliers use our UNITWIN6000 CNC machine to produce more than 2 million front axles every year.
For the complex rear axle machining we also have a dedicated solution: our UNIAXLE. With this new CNC machine you can machine cast iron as well as steel welded rear axles to the greatest precision, in the shortest possible time, all in a single setup.For the train industry Unisign has highly versatile machines like the UNIVERS6000, UNIPORT6000 and UNIPORT7000. These moving column and gantry style machining centres are part of the machine tool program that have been designed to deliver extremely high capacity, dynamics, rapid acceleration and offer a generous working area.
Heavy duty turning, milling and drilling characterises the production of components for energy-producing equipment like (wind) turbines. So you need a machine that can take the load. A mill-turn machining centre like the UNICOM6000 and the UNIPORT7000-MTC or a multi-functional UNIPORT6000 are the ideal solution for producing these demanding parts.
Pumps and valves for the oil & gas industry can be highly complex parts to produce with seals, gaskets, flanges and requirements like spiral grooves and elliptical conical eccentric turning. The machining centres from Unisign, with their high degree of automation and specially designed software, are a unique solution capable of milling parts that others cannot.
At Unisign we understand that our customers don’t just buy a machine, they buy a process. And price per part is key. So for general applications we offer high torque machines with high material removal rates, including 5-axis and 5-sided machining and a choice of moving table or palletized, depending on the footprint available.
