A one-piece cast iron bed, twin ballscrews in all axes, comprehensive cooling measures and linear scale positional feedback to the Siemens 840D solutionline or Heidenhain TNC 640 control with proprietary CELOS interface combine to deliver high stability and extreme accuracy, including circularity of less than 5µm. The machine is therefore particularly well suited to mould making and production of high precision aerospace parts.
There is a choice of spindle with 15,000, 20,000 or 40,000rpm maximum speed or an optional SK 50/HSK-A100 spindle offering up to 288Nm of torque. Standard tool magazine capacity is 20 pockets, which may be expanded to 120 if desired. Maximum tool length is 400mm. Short non-cutting times result from automatic tool change in under one second and acceleration in all axes at 5m/s² to 42m/min rapid traverse rate.
Ergonomic operation is another feature of the machine, thanks to a door that opens to nearly two metres and a distance from the front of the machine to the centre of the 2,160 x 750mm table of just 677mm. The bed inclines steeply at 35°, which together with efficient flushing ensures that chips are removed efficiently.
