This compact and rigid machining center is ideal for machining aluminum, cast iron, and steel components. It comes equipped with a BT-40 spindle and a 24-tool side-mounted automatic tool changer. With its robust structure and high-precision components, the machine ensures excellent accuracy, reliability, and productivity in demanding applications.
3-, 4- and 5-axis VMCs for prismatic parts, dies, moulds, housings and brackets.
Size a VMC from your largest part plus fixture (X/Y/Z travel and table), choose BT-40 for general work, BT-50 for heavy cuts or HSK and high rpm for finishing, and count the tools in your longest program.
Send your part drawing, material and monthly quantity, and we will confirm whether this machine fits – or suggest one that fits better.
New machines are built to order. We confirm the lead time and the exact configuration – control, spindle, tool changer and options – with your quote.
Your largest part plus fixture and tool clearance in X, Y and Z, with table size and load to match. A 20–25% margin covers most future work.
Fanuc, Siemens and Mitsubishi are all proven. Choose the one your programmers and service partners know best.
If you machine several faces or hole patterns around a part, a 4th-axis rotary table saves setups. True 5-axis is needed for blades, impellers and complex moulds.
Installation, commissioning and operator training are listed in the quote, so you know exactly what is included.
