The company鈥檚 multi-pallet systems enable manufacturers to incorporate an unmanned machining development process for a multitasking machine environment that optimizes up-time.
The center鈥檚 four-step geared spindle delivers high-torque and high speed for maximum machining flexibility. This makes it suitable for simultaneous four-axis machining of medium sized parts that require deep cuts on tough materials and fine finishing capabilities. With a maximum workpiece size of 26.5 脳 37.8" and a table load capacity of 880 lbs., it is said to offer the size, rigidity, construction and accuracy necessary for multi-part tombstone fixturing as well as complex multi-angle, medium- to large-part machining.聽
