The the 3-axis machine features an on-board 12- or 19-tool magazine that services the 10 kW, 24,000 rpm spindle. The whole of the worktable on the Tekna 743 machine is coated with an air-porous Forex material that conceals the vacuum system underneath and distributes suction evenly across the whole table or across pre-defined sections, depending on the size of panel being machined. It also absorbs vibrations to create a robust and stable work area.
