This versatile machine builds on the industry-leading performance and reliability of our nx-series four-axis HMCs and adds a factory-built, fully integrated fifth axis “Z-type” to solve problems of today’s most complex part geometries in a minimum number of workholding setups and machining operations.
The unique kinematic arrangement of the a800Z minimizes the force path lengths both through the spindle as well as through the workpiece, efficiently transferring both cutting loads and reactive forces into the machine’s three-point levelled bed, maximizing both metal removal rates and perishable tool life due to unparalleled system rigidity.
