Innovations that pay off
Y/B axis with genuine 360° • 360° swiveling range (optional) • Machining at any desired angle • Full use of turrets at the main and counter spindles • 5-axis machining for demanding contours • Quill design with hydrostatic, zero-backlash and no-wear bearing for high precision and optimum rigidity Highly flexible utilization of the working area in the Y direction by means of the A axis with max. stability and extremely short lever action of the Y axis. Maximum utilization of the tool stock: The same tool can be used at the main and counter spindles, thus reducing the no. of Tools required.

The work spindle with center support (optional) • The thrust can be programmed to vary continuously

Using the counter spindle as tailstock and an integrated live center support makes it possible to support the workpieces. When the counter spindle picks up the workpiece, the center support is simply pushed back into the counter spindle.
