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 error of below five microns. The machine is 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 40,000 rpm maximum speed or an optional SK 50/HSK-A100 spindle offering up to 288 Nm of torque. Standard tool magazine capacity is 20, which may be expanded to 120. Maximum tool length is 400 mm. Short non-cutting times result from automatic tool change in under one second and acceleration in all axes at 5 m/s² to 42 m/min rapid traverse rate.
Ergonomic operation is another feature of the machine, thanks to a door that opens to nearly 2 m and a distance from the front of the machine to the centre of the 2,160 by 750 mm table of just 677 mm. The bed inclines steeply at 35°, which, together with efficient flushing, ensures that chips are removed efficiently.
