• Optional spindles enable aluminium machining.

Ease of set-up

• Horizontal table design and also the accessibility of the loading area enables you to set up workpieces by crane if desired.
• The L shape design of the operator door ensures the spindle and the table can be inspected easily.

Quick Removal of Chips

• The design of the table and the spindle washing feature ensure the chips are removed quickly and effectively.
• Specialised first and secondary filters prevent chips from clogging any part of the machine.

Super Fast Tool Changing

• The advanced tool changing system opens the ATC quickly and with the smallest width to ensure high-speed tool changing.
• Tool changing can be achieved in 0.9 sec.
