High precision VMC suits mould and die work
High precision, heavy duty vertical machining centre, particularly suited to the mould and die industry, features heavy stock removal rates as well as precision finish machining.
There are hardly any workpiece weight limitations as the carriage-column assembly carries out the longitudinal movement.
On the other hand, it also enables pendular work - it is possible to have two separate work areas.
This makes it easier for the machine to work in an area while the machinist is preparing the next workpiece in the other area.
This machine series is available with several dimensional configurations.
The length of the X-axis can be selected in the range of 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, or 10m in length.
They have a 1200mm Y-axis and a 1500 or 2000mm Z-axis.
