Highlights
The machine features a flexible modular construction with an ergonomic and modern machine design and is available in both 4-axis and full 5-axis configurations. High-performance motor spindle technology, rigid linear roller guides and direct-driven ball screw systems provide exceptional machining precision, smooth operation and dynamic performance.
The machine incorporates an integrated rotary table and highly dynamic B-axis torque motor system for advanced multi-axis machining operations. Advanced Siemens Sinumerik ONE or Heidenhain TNC 640 control systems provide cutting-edge CNC functionality alongside optional EMCONNECT digital production integration.
Tool Magazine
The tool magazine system is available in multiple configurations including fixed-position magazines for 3-axis, 4-axis and 5-axis versions, alongside optional moving chain magazine systems for enhanced tooling flexibility and productivity.
Control Unit
The ergonomic operator panel can travel, rotate and reposition toward the work area, providing ideal working conditions and excellent accessibility for machine operators during setup and machining operations.
Machine Structure
The machine bed is manufactured from a stable welded steel construction designed to provide exceptional rigidity and vibration damping for highly accurate and stable machining performance over long production periods.
B-Axis
The B-axis is powered by a highly dynamic torque motor system delivering precise positioning and smooth movement throughout a wide pivoting range of +/-120°.
Y-Axis
The ram-style Y-axis design uses extended guide ways to maximise rigidity and machining stability. High positioning accuracy is achieved through a direct-driven screw system.
Milling Spindle
The liquid-cooled motor spindle delivers outstanding performance with spindle speeds up to 15000 rpm, power outputs up to 46 kW and torque up to 170 Nm. An optional 18000 rpm HSK-A63 spindle configuration is available for high-speed machining applications, while the HSK-A100 version provides up to 270 Nm torque for heavy-duty machining operations.
Z-Axis Travel
The Z-axis uses a dual ball screw and dual motor master-slave drive configuration to achieve highly precise rapid traverse movement despite the large axis mass, ensuring smooth operation and excellent positioning accuracy.
Axis Drives
The machine uses rotating nut ballscrew technology with fixed screw systems to provide highly accurate positioning and smooth axis movement. Linear scales are fitted as standard on all three linear axes (X, Y and Z).
X-Axis Drives
The X-axis uses a precision rack and pinion drive system to guarantee maximum positioning precision, smooth movement and long-term reliability across the large machine travel range.
Overall Dimensions & Work Space
The machine combines a spacious machining envelope with a rigid and highly accessible machine structure suitable for large workpieces and advanced multi-axis machining applications.
Options & Accessories
Measurement Systems
Optional tool and workpiece measuring systems reduce setup times and improve machining precision. Workpiece measurement is performed using radio probe technology for highly accurate in-machine inspection.
Large Work Area
The spacious machining area allows extensive customisation options including pendulum operation partitions, rotary tables, tailstocks and additional workholding systems.
Automatic Workpiece Measuring
The workpieces are automatically measured using an infrared measuring probe mounted on the main spindle. Integrated measuring cycles automatically transfer measured values into the CNC control system.
