To optimise production the machines are equipped with integrated automation.
Both machines have a 30-position ATC (option for 48 or 60-position) with fast 2.9s tool change (chip-to-chip) on the 'HS' model.
To ensure further uninterrupted machining - both machine models have swing-arm, twin-pallet APC capability too.
The machines have a choice of control (GE Fanuc 18i MB or Heidenhain iTNC 530).
Either provides customers with powerful machining capability and high contour accuracy as well as both being simple and easy to operate.
