Optional control systems including Fanuc, Heidenhain and Siemens and the machines can be configured to accommodate long work pieces or a pendulum load arrangement can be utilised.

With table sizes of 600 by 600 mm, 60 m/min rapid traverse rates and high speed ATC, the products share with the MMV ranges a rigid construction and state-of-the-art linear drives.
