Highlights

Machining of workpieces up to Ø 480 mm max.turning diameter and up to max.1,225 mm turning length

  • Increased Y axis capability with +/- 65 mm stroke
  • Main spindle A2-8“ as integrated spindle ISM102, with hollow cylinder Ø 102 mm; drive rating 36/ 40kW (100/40% DC), 3250 rpm
  • Modular system with expansion levels from universal turning to complete machining in all sizes

Complete machining by optional counter spindle and star turret

  • Counter spindle as integrated spindle motor ISM 65 as standard, partially hollow Ø 65 mm, rating 13/14 KW (100%-40%ED), 5500 rpm
  • High Precision Turrets ready for 50 bar coolant pressure,  with air/oil lubrication, 100% Duty cycle in milling
  • Optional DirectDrive turret drive with up to 10,000 rpm and drive rating 10/11 kW (100%-40%ED)for highest surface accuracy

Innovative solutions for production increasing and optimized energy efficiency

  • Ready for automation with 6-axis robot interface, predisposition for Robo2Go and Robo2Go max and Matris 
  • High energy savings thanks to use of synchron (IPM) motors and hydraulic pumps with inverter control

Maximum stability and long-term accuracy

  • Dynamic and precise C-axis control​ by measuring system on front bearings
  • Maximum thermal stability thanks to water-cooled, integrated spindle motors
  • Unrivalled long-term precision with direct measuring systems in the X-axis and Y-axis as standard
